THE FOUNDATIONS

What the chart says

Understand the elements of your chart and what each one means.

The Chart

  • The year pillar is 乙亥.

    The year pillar is used to explore family background, upbringing and early life.

  • The month pillar is 辛巳.

    The month pillar helps define the chart's overall structure. It is also used to explore parental influences, the environment you grew up in and your approach to work.

  • The day pillar is 丁酉.

    The day pillar brings together themes of self and partnership. Its stem represents you, while its branch is used to explore close relationships.

  • The hour pillar is 己酉.

    The hour pillar is used to explore later life, relationships with children and what you hope to pass on.

Frame

  • This chart is read under the 建祿 (Establishing Rank) frame.

    The chart's structure describes a broad approach to life. Here, 建祿 (Establishing Rank) highlights the theme of a footing of one's own.

  • What completes this frame is Wealth, which 子平真詮 calls the 相神.

    This structure relies on Wealth for support. The theme of wealth and household helps explain how its potential can develop.

Strength

  • The day master is stretched.

    A strong day master is read as having more capacity for outward activity, while a weaker one benefits from support. This chart is stretched, so what supports it has to come first.

Season

  • The season it is born into asks for Wood, Fire and Metal.

    Seasonal balance considers what may offset the conditions at birth. For this chart, Wood, Fire and Metal represents that balancing influence in the chart and its cycles.

Spouse

  • The day branch, 酉, is the spouse seat, and 偏財 (Indirect Wealth) sits there.

    The day branch is the spouse's seat. 偏財 (Indirect Wealth) sits there, so enterprise and opportunity is what keeps coming up between the two of you.

  • Wealth sits in the spouse seat, which the chapter reads as a worthy and well-placed spouse.

    子平真詮 associates Wealth in the day branch with practical support in partnership and a stable household.

  • The spouse seat takes a clash or a punishment, so a good marriage is still hard to grow old in.

Children

  • At the hour branch, the seat of the children, 壬 stands at 沐浴 (Bathing), and the table in 論妻子 reads two there.

    Children are read at the hour branch. 壬 stands at 沐浴 (Bathing), so the count in 子平真詮 is two — better read as the weight of the children's seat than as a number nailed down.

Marks

  • The year pillar's 亥 is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble).

    The year branch is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble). Help sits on what was handed down, so early years bring people who look out for you.

  • The month pillar's 巳 is 驛馬 (Traveling Horse).

    The month branch is 驛馬 (Traveling Horse). The work itself moves, so coming and going suits you better than sitting in one place.

  • The month pillar's 巳 is 空亡 (Void).

    The month branch is 空亡 (Void). The seat the frame comes out of stands empty, so position and title sit looser than they look.

  • The day pillar's 酉 is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble).

    The day branch is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble). Help sits on the spouse's seat, so hard things tend to loosen through the one beside you.

  • The hour pillar's 酉 is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble).

    The hour branch is 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble). Help sits on later years and on children, so the further on you go the thicker the goodwill.

Wealth

  • The Wealth gods stand in a stem.

    The Wealth gods stand in a stem. Earning shows on the outside, so what you do and what you take in are both easy for others to see.

  • The Peer gods contest the Wealth, and the Output gods stand with it.

    The Peer gods contest the Wealth and the Output gods stand with it. 子平真詮 calls this 財逢劫，而透食以化之 — turn the contesting force toward work and craft and the Wealth is kept.

  • The Peer gods contest the Wealth, and the Officer gods stand with it.

    The Peer gods contest the Wealth and the Officer gods stand with it. 子平真詮 calls this 生官以制之 — holding that contest down with propriety and position is how it is kept.

  • The Peer gods stand alongside the Wealth gods.

    The Peer gods stand alongside the Wealth gods. 子平真詮 puts 財輕比重 as a place the frame breaks: what is earned gets divided, and it leaks through people. Partnerships and guarantees weigh especially heavy in this chart.

  • Wealth is present, and the day master falls short of carrying it.

    Wealth is present and the day master falls short of carrying it. Not a shortage of chances but a shortage of shoulder, so building your own strength comes before enlarging the take.

Work

  • The Officer gods stand in a branch.

    The Officer gods stand in a branch. The position is there but does not show, so the seat is won by the work rather than by the name.

  • The Officer gods and 傷官 (Hurting Officer) stand in the one chart.

    The Officer gods and the Hurting Officer stand in the one chart. 子平真詮 puts 傷官見官 as a place the frame breaks: your own talent collides with the rules of the organisation. The further speech runs ahead, the looser the seat.

Study

  • The Seal gods stand in a stem.

    The Seal gods stand in a stem. The power to learn and to be certified stands outward, so learning tends to end up as a name and a document.

  • The Output gods stand in a stem.

    The Output gods stand in a stem. The talent shows outward, so speech and writing lead, and showing serves better than sitting examinations.

  • The Officer gods stand in a branch.

    The Officer gods stand in a branch. The gate is there but does not show, so it is won by repeating rather than at one attempt.

Samjae

  • On the common reckoning of 三災 (the three calamities), the 巳, 午, 未 years are the ones.

    三災 falls in the 巳午未 years. These three are read as a stretch for holding rather than for starting.

Cautions

  • The 巳·午 years double the Peer gods, so they read as the stretch where wealth is most easily divided.

    The 巳, 午 years double 火. One more of the same force makes starting easier and keeping looser.

  • The chart holds a place that can take those years.

    But the Output gods and the Officer gods are both in the chart, so there is a seat to take those years. One gives the surplus something to do and the other holds it down, so the same year runs toward using rather than toward leaking.

Match

  • The other chart is better for holding Water, which is what this one is shortest of.

    The other chart is better for holding 水, and less suited where 金 is heavy. In this chart 水 is thinnest and 金 thickest, so someone who fills what is missing fits, and someone who adds to what already spills does not.

  • The spouse seat is the day branch 酉, and the branches that answer it are 巳, 丑, 辰.

    The spouse sits at the day branch, 酉. The branches that answer it by triad and by pair are 巳, 丑, 辰; where the other chart holds one of them, the two seats interlock. This comes before reading by year sign.

  • By the year sign — the outward match, which is folk reckoning rather than the frame method — a Rabbit and Goat year suits.

    By the year sign — the outward match — a Rabbit and Goat year suits. That is the seat forming a triad with the year branch, but it is a relation between two birth years and not the spouse's palace, so it is a different layer to consult. Convert it to ages and it is easy to use.

  • On the same outward reckoning, a Dragon year stands in 元嗔 (a settled antipathy) with this one.

    On the same outward reckoning, a Dragon year stands in 元嗔 with this one — the opposite seat on the standard table, read from the year branch. Not that it cannot be done, but that the same matter leaves a residue on both sides more easily, so it helps to settle things in words beforehand.

A layer outside 子平

  • The destiny palace is 己卯, the seat reached by folding the month branch 巳 into the hour branch 酉.

    The destiny palace folds the month and the hour of birth into one seat. 三命通會 says that without a palace there is nowhere to hang the fortune of a passing year, so this is the seat that receives what comes from outside the chart.

  • The conception pillar is 壬申. Its branch clashes with none of the four.

    三命通會 calls the conception pillar the root and shoot of the four, and says that where it is not broken into, the fortune runs thicker. The root is not shaken.

  • Before the decades open, the minor luck falls on 絕 (Severance) and 死 (Death) at ages 3, 5.

    三命通會 says that before the decades are met this is the only method for a child's years, and marks 死 and 絕 as the places to watch. It says where to look, not what happens there.

YOUR LIFE & CHARACTER

Reading

Read the themes that apply to your chart, from character and relationships to work and wealth.

The Chart

  • This is a 建祿 frame with Wealth gods shown in the stems and Output gods present. 子平真詮 names wealth surfacing and meeting the output gods as one way the 建祿 frame is completed: the day master's force flowing through expression into wealth. This describes the frame's structure; how it actually runs is read with the decades and the other pillars. ·
  • sinsalThis chart carries the Calamity Mark with an officer god and a Seal god beside it. 三命通會 writes that helped it becomes martial authority and welcomes office and seal in thriving places, so the fierce force reads as governed. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • The day master holds a root of its own phase in the branches, and the chart holds an officer god. 子平真詮 writes that with a root in the pillars a stem can take wealth, office and output and bear even the hurting officer and the Killings, so an officer god reads as something it can carry. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • The day master holds a root of its own phase in the branches, and the chart holds a Wealth god. 子平真詮 writes that with a root in the pillars a stem can take wealth, office and output and bear even the hurting officer and the Killings, so a Wealth god reads as something it can carry. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • sinsalThis chart carries the Heavenly Virtue. 三命通會 writes that even a chart with harsh marks is not badly hurt when the two virtues help and soften them, so a virtue that eases rough forces reads as standing. A place to look rather than a verdict.

Character

  • Eating God describes an element produced by the day master, with the same polarity.
    Character
    In personality readings, this is an analogy for expressing ideas. Reflect on how you balance explanation with questions when sharing your view.
    Children
    Traditional family symbolism uses Eating God as a reference for children in a female chart. It does not determine their number, sex, or personality.
    Work
    At work, this is an analogy for turning ideas into explanation, production and delivery. Define a draft and completion standard, then check the recipient’s response.
    子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming a Wealth god to generate them. This chart holds a Wealth god, so the position is supported.
  • Direct Officer is present in the year pillar. Direct Officer describes an element controlling the day master, with opposite polarity. In personality readings, this is an analogy for reconciling external standards with personal judgment. Reflect on when following a rule feels comfortable and when you need to understand its purpose first. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming a Wealth god to generate them. This chart holds a Wealth god, so the position is supported. ·

Marriage

  • 滴天髓 writes of 辛: “辛金軟弱，溫潤而清” — soft, clear metal with a fine, polishing hand. When Xin Metal (辛金), associated with partnership, rests on Si Fire (巳火) in a woman's chart, the relationship may support practical cooperation and mutual help. A place to look rather than a verdict. 滴天髓 writes that 辛 dreads earth piled on it and delights in brimming water. This chart holds Water (水), so the jewel reads as washed bright. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Officer and Killings are the phase that controls the day master: opposite polarity is the Direct Officer, the same is the Indirect (淵海子平). In this chart that phase is Earth (土). Traditional reading views Officer and Seven Killings (官殺) in a woman's chart as qualities associated with partnership and committed relationships. A place to look rather than a verdict. None of the eight characters is Earth (土), so this force does not stand. 滴天髓 puts the right reading of the five phases in balance and marks the muddied and the lopsided as awry. The decades and surroundings that add Earth are read alongside for what is missing. ·
  • sinsal三命通會 calls 天乙貴人 the most honoured of spirits, before whom the harmful marks withdraw wherever it lands. With 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble) located in the day branch, the spouse keeps and guards the household's wealth and serves as the one who lifts away misfortune. A place to look rather than a verdict. 三命通會 writes that a noble wants its place thriving, unbroken and out of the void. The Heavenly Noble here does not fall in the void, so its help reads as reaching. ·
  • sinsal三命通會 calls 天乙貴人 the most honoured of spirits, before whom the harmful marks withdraw wherever it lands. With 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble) in the chart, the help that comes through a spouse is substantial. A place to look rather than a verdict. In this chart the Heavenly Noble stands at Growth (長生) among the twelve stages. 三命通會 writes that the phases come first and the stars after, that the phases want growth and the stars fear decline. Riding growth, the mark reads as one whose use comes alive. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Traditional family symbolism uses Direct Officer as a reference for partnership in a female chart. The day branch and the rest of the chart also matter to that interpretation. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming a Wealth god to generate them. This chart holds a Wealth god, so the position is supported.
  • Officer and Killings are the phase that controls the day master: opposite polarity is the Direct Officer, the same is the Indirect (淵海子平). In this chart that phase is Fire (火). Traditional reading views Officer and Seven Killings (官殺) in a woman's chart as qualities associated with partnership and committed relationships. None of the eight characters is Fire (火), so this force does not stand. 滴天髓 puts the right reading of the five phases in balance and marks the muddied and the lopsided as awry. The decades and surroundings that add Fire are read alongside for what is missing. ·
  • Indirect Wealth describes an element controlled by the day master, with the same polarity.
    Marriage
    Indirect Wealth names the element controlled by the day master within the Ten Gods system. The classical text describes Indirect Wealth as resources shared among people, without guaranteeing business success or a level of wealth.
    Study
    For learning, use this as a prompt to review available time and costs. It concerns allocating resources to a learning goal, not predicting admission or exam results.
    Work
    In work, this offers a way to connect resources with deliverables. Clarify the budget, time and completion criteria of a task rather than assigning this symbol to a single occupation.
    子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming an Output god to generate them. This chart holds an Output god, so the position is supported.

Children

  • Children · OtherDirect Officer describes an element controlling the day master, with opposite polarity. Direct Officer names the element that controls the day master within the Ten Gods system. Officer stars describe restraint and order. Responsibility and rules are interpretive analogies, not a determination of rank or promotion.
    Study
    For learning, this is an analogy for checking understanding against defined criteria. Break assessment requirements into smaller tasks and seek feedback on the results.
    Timing
    This period adds restraint on the day master. To apply the perspective, clarify responsibilities and evaluation criteria, then identify what can be adjusted.
    子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming a Wealth god to generate them. This chart holds a Wealth god, so the position is supported.

Study

  • Direct Wealth describes an element controlled by the day master, with opposite polarity. For learning, use this as a prompt to review available time and costs. It concerns allocating resources to a learning goal, not predicting admission or exam results. Wealth gods weigh heavily in the chart and the day master reads as weak when its forces are weighed, but a Seal god stands to help it. 三命通會 writes that a declining self helped by a seal is counted as wealthy, so the many Wealth gods read as borne up by the seal. Strength here is an estimate weighed from the forces in the chart. A place to look rather than a verdict.

Work

  • A Direct Officer stands in the year pillar with wealth, and there are no Killings or Hurting Officer. 淵海子平 writes that a year-pillar officer meeting wealth and not meeting Killings or the Hurting Officer is greatly auspicious, so order reads as standing with wealth behind it. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Wealth and a Direct Officer stand together, and weighing the chart the day master reads as weak. 淵海子平 writes that when wealth produces an officer a weak self cannot carry it, so position and duty may outrun one's strength, and weighing how much to take on comes first. Strength here is weighed from the chart's forces. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • Peer gods share the day master's phase and stand beside the Wealth gods. 子平真詮 writes that where peers strike wealth an Output god showing turns their force back into wealth. This chart holds an Output god, so the peers' force reads as turned toward making wealth. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • sinsalA chart with 驛馬 (Traveling Horse) tends to a lively flow of movement, and may suit fields that handle motion, such as transport and logistics. In this chart the Travel Horse stands at Thriving (帝旺) among the twelve stages. 三命通會 writes that the phases come first and the stars after, that the phases want growth and the stars fear decline. Riding growth, the mark reads as one whose use comes alive. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Among the five phases Fire (火) governs propriety (淵海子平: wood rules kindness, fire propriety, metal righteousness, water wisdom, earth trust). This day master is 火. A Fire (火) day master develops more naturally with support from Wood (木). Building knowledge and turning it into personal ability may suit this pattern well. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • Among the five phases Fire (火) governs propriety (淵海子平: wood rules kindness, fire propriety, metal righteousness, water wisdom, earth trust). This day master is 火. A 火 day master that follows 金 into enterprise meets hardship, and in the end gets past it. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • Indirect Seal describes an element producing the day master, with the same polarity. At work, this points to knowledge, documentation and support systems. Use the perspective to document procedures and identify where to seek help. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming an Officer god to generate them. This chart holds an Officer god, so the position is supported.
  • Wealth is the phase the day master controls: opposite polarity is Direct Wealth, the same is Indirect (淵海子平). In this chart that phase is Water (水).
    Work
    Where 水 carries the wealth, the enterprise finds its position in work that deals with water and the sea.
    Wealth
    When 水 carries the wealth it is cash in hand, and the property that forms the base comes from the table.
    None of the eight characters is Water (水), so this force does not stand. 滴天髓 puts the right reading of the five phases in balance and marks the muddied and the lopsided as awry. The decades and surroundings that add Water are read alongside for what is missing. ·

Wealth

  • Metal (金) is the phase this frame calls for, and it stands in the chart. 子平真詮 calls the one character the whole frame rests on its helper, so what the frame waits for is present and its use can be looked for. A place to look rather than a verdict.
  • Peer gods are the day master's own phase; 子平真詮 writes that wealth meeting the Rob Wealth is resolved through the Eating God (淵海子平). When Peer energy (比劫) restrains Wealth (財星), earning ability may be accompanied by higher spending and competition. Plans for retention and allocation matter as much as income. A place to look rather than a verdict. 子平真詮 writes that 煞傷劫刃 are used against the grain, welcoming an Officer god to hold them down. This chart holds an Officer god, so something stands to check it. ·
  • Indirect Wealth stands in the hour pillar and a Rob Wealth stands in the chart. 淵海子平 writes that hour-pillar Indirect Wealth meeting a Rob Wealth is not auspicious, so a force at one's side reads as reaching to share out what is gathered. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Wealth is the phase the day master controls: opposite polarity is Direct Wealth, the same is Indirect (淵海子平). When 天乙貴人 (Heavenly Noble) appears together with 偏財 (Indirect Wealth), the chart carries the fortune of building wealth from nothing. A place to look rather than a verdict. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming an Output god to generate them. This chart holds an Output god, so the position is supported. ·
  • Indirect Wealth is present in the branch of the day pillar. Indirect Wealth describes an element controlled by the day master, with the same polarity. For finances, read available resources alongside the commitments they can sustain. To apply this perspective, review what remains after expenses and the size of fixed costs. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming an Output god to generate them. This chart holds an Output god, so the position is supported. ·
  • sinsal三命通會 calls 天乙貴人 the most honoured of spirits, before whom the harmful marks withdraw wherever it lands. Where two 天乙貴人 meet, misfortune that comes is undone, people and money gather together, and there is little failure. In this chart the Heavenly Noble stands at Growth (長生) among the twelve stages. 三命通會 writes that the phases come first and the stars after, that the phases want growth and the stars fear decline. Riding growth, the mark reads as one whose use comes alive. A place to look rather than a verdict. ·
  • Wealth stars is present in the stem. Wealth stars refer to elements controlled by the day master. For finances, read available resources alongside the commitments they can sustain. To apply this perspective, review what remains after expenses and the size of fixed costs. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming an Output god to generate them. This chart holds an Output god, so the position is supported. ·

Health

  • For a 火 day master, 土 is the ground on which its force is put into concrete results; keeping activity and rest inside a steady frame gives stability.

Other

  • 酉 is a Metal branch whose principal stem is 辛. The hidden-stem verse in Yuanhai Ziping lists 辛 within it.
  • 亥 is a Water branch whose principal stem is 壬. The hidden-stem verse in Yuanhai Ziping lists 壬·甲 within it.
  • Eating God describes an element produced by the day master, with the same polarity. Output carries the day master’s energy outward. Distinguish having a channel for expression from having the resources to sustain it, considering support and connections with Wealth. 子平真詮 writes that 財官印食 are used with the grain, welcoming a Wealth god to generate them. This chart holds a Wealth god, so the position is supported.

Health

  • Weighed by its forces, the day master reads as weak. A 火 day master that meets water in the decade finds vitality and mood easily dampened; health and daily rhythm deserve closer care in this stretch. The strength here is an effective-force measure and may differ from a classical reading. ·

What a decade does

  • The ten years from age 10 bring a hidden stem coming out.

  • The ten years from age 80 bring the frame being completed.
