DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillars (十年大运 Shi Nian DaYun)

When each DaYun 10-Year Luck Pillar Starts

Each DaYun begins on 26 of March of the first Solar year in its cycle.

💡In BaZi, the Solar Year starts from Li Chun (usually around February 4), not January 1. This means: If your DaYun starts on January 18, that date still falls before Li Chun, so it belongs to the previous Solar Year — even though it's already the second calendar year of your DaYun.
👉 In other words, January 18 of the second calendar year is still considered part of the first year of your DaYun, because Li Chun hasn't arrived yet.
🧠 This distinction is crucial when analyzing annual influences. Always align your year-by-year breakdown with the Solar calendar, not the Western calendar.
🗓️ In traditional Chinese age reckoning (虚岁 Xu Sui). Someone born in 2024 would be considered age 2 in 2025. This system starts at age 1 at birth and adds a year at each Lunar New Year, not on the birthday.

BaZi Calculator – Four Pillars of Destiny: Year, Month, Day, Hour (年柱, 月柱, 日柱, 時柱)

Hour Pillar (时柱): 壬子 Ren Zi (Yang Water Rat) Hour Pillar

Hour Pillar (时柱) – Represents your children, late life, and ambitions. The Hour Branch shows your children or descendants, while the Hour Pillar (Stem and Branch) can reflect your later-life goals and personal aspirations.

Heavenly Stem: 壬 Ren Water – The Ocean

Boundless ocean, rivers, and rainstorms — powerful and deep.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Water is favorable:
Intelligent, broad-minded, and resourceful. Ren individuals are visionaries who think globally and flow around obstacles.

When Water is unfavorable:
Overwhelming, unfocused, or chaotic. Their vast energy can flood others when not contained.

Earthly Branch: 子 Zi Rat

Hidden Stem (藏干)

癸 (Water)

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

When Water is favorable:
The Rat is known for intelligence, adaptability, and quick thinking. As the first of the Zodiac, it represents new beginnings, fertility, and resourcefulness. Favorably placed, the Rat brings strategic vision, charm in communication, and the ability to build networks easily. Its Water nature supports wisdom, insight, and flexibility in decision-making.
When Water is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, however, the Rat’s energy can manifest as overthinking, restlessness, and emotional instability. It may bring scheming behavior or excessive caution that prevents progress. In BaZi, whether the Rat’s Water influence nurtures or overwhelms depends on its balance with other elements.

Day Pillar (日柱): 癸巳 Gui Si (Yin Water Snake)

The Day Stem (天干) is your Day Master (日元 or 日主), representing your core personality, energy, and essence. The Day Branch (地支) is the Spouse Palace (配偶宫 or 夫妻宫), showing your marriage and spouse-related tendencies.

Heavenly Stem: 癸 Gui Water – The Rain or Mist

Gentle rain nourishing all things, soft but pervasive.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

Hidden Stem (藏干)

丙 (Fire)
庚 (Metal)
戊 (Earth)

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits

The Snake is a symbol of wisdom, elegance, and deep thought. Known for intuition and analytical ability, it often embodies mystery and inner strength. When favorable, the Snake brings insight, refined judgment, and the ability to strategize with precision. Its Fire element enhances clarity and transformation.
When Fire is unfavorable:
When unfavorable, the Snake can become secretive, jealous, or overly suspicious. Its intensity may lead to overanalysis or emotional detachment. In BaZi, the Snake’s hidden stems (Bing Fire, Wu Earth, Geng Metal) add layers of complexity, making its influence highly situational.

Favorable vs. Unfavorable Traits
