 About The Chinese Metaphysics Reference Series

The Chinese Metaphysics Reference Series of books are

designed primarily to be used as complimentary textbooks for
Reference scholars, students, researchers, teachers and practitioners of
Series Chinese Metaphysics.
The goal is to provide quick easy reference tables, diagrams and charts,
facilitating the study and practice of various Chinese Metaphysics subjects
including Feng Shui, BaZi, Yi Jing, Zi Wei, Liu Ren, Ze Ri, Ta Yi, Qi Men and
Mian Xiang.
This series of books are intended as reference text and educational materials
principally for the academic syllabuses of the Mastery Academy of Chinese
Metaphysics. The contents have also been formatted so that Feng Shui Masters
and other teachers of Chinese Metaphysics will always have a definitive source
of reference at hand, when teaching or applying their art.
Because each school of Chinese Metaphysics is different, the Reference Series
of books usually do not contain any specific commentaries, application methods
or explanations on the theory behind the formulas presented in its contents.
This is to ensure that the contents can be used freely and independently by all
Feng Shui Masters and teachers of Chinese Metaphysics without conflict.
If you would like to study or learn the applications of any of the formulas
presented in the Reference Series of books, we recommend that you undertake
the courses offered by Joey Yap and his team of Instructors at the Mastery
Academy of Chinese Metaphysics.

Titles offers in the Reference Series:

1. The Chinese Metaphysics Compendium
2. Dong Gong Date Selection

Preface

The study and practice of BaZi is one that constantly yields its own rewards. Learning
about a person’s character, temperament, life outlook and personal destiny is akin
to a fun adventure - with the journey being an essential part of the entire discovery.
The bare information - your birth date and time - can yield a rich treasure trove of
knowledge, most of which can help shed new light on old perceptions.

The idea for this BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods Reference Book series came about as
follow up to the BaZi Structures and Structural Useful Gods Reference Series that
I wrote last year. While the previous series focused on the BaZi “Structures” overall,
this series focuses on the “Hour Pillar” in particular and how it defines the quality of a
Bazi Structure. This series is designed to show how each Hour Pillar helps define the
selection of the chart’s Useful Gods and other favorable elements.

This BaZi Hour Pillar series came out of a further request among my BaZi students
for additional study materials. Many of them were keen to learn more about how the
various structures in BaZi are derived and how the Hour Pillar influences the chart.
I created this series in order to help students learn and absorb the methods and
techniques used to understand how each Hour Pillar of the Day shapes the quality of a
BaZi Structure. The descriptions of each Hour Pillar’s effect on a particular chart have
been largely transliterated from classical texts and therefore tend to present or come
out of a somewhat traditional (or conventional) standpoint.

My initial idea was to develop one BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods book to accommodate
all 10 Heavenly Stems (Day Masters). But yet again, I discovered that it would not be a
book that could reasonably be used by anyone - because if the book were to include
illustrations of each BaZi Hour Pillar as well, then the book’s total sum pages would
likely have reached 1750! This, no doubt, would have perplexed my aforementioned
students and readers more than it would have soothed them! So I decided to break
it apart into five different books, with each one corresponding to each Element. The
book you’re looking at right now is on Earth Day Masters, for both Wu 戊 and Ji 己
Earth Day Masters.

There are many traditional sources available on the BaZi Structures and Hour Pillars.
One of the more well-known texts is the Qiong Tong Bao Jian 窮通寶鑑, written by a
famous master, Xu Le Wu 徐樂吾. Another popular BaZi scholar of recent past who
contributed a lot to mainstream BaZi theories, especially those relating to structures,
is Wei Qian Li 韋千里.

No doubt, it’s difficult for most students to have access to this information and make
sense of it because it’s scattered about in various old texts and ancient documents,
and also because all of it is available only in Chinese! It was my intention, therefore, to
compile this information into one convenient source, and to present the transliterated
version of these traditional texts for the modern, English-speaking practitioner and
student without losing the essence of the original.

To derive a Useful Gods and the Favorable Elements in BaZi and to ascertain the
quality of a chart, one must know and understand the Day Master and the month
of birth, and the 12 Hour Pillar variations in a BaZi Chart. There are both traditional
methods and newer (modern) methods on how this is interpreted.

v
 Because of this, different practitioners and teachers tend to have different methods
and formats to analyze the BaZi Structures and Hour Pillars. In using the techniques
outlined in this book, it is suggested that you proceed with due diligence and thought.
As always, there is much merit in using traditional practices, but students who are
learning BaZi should use this under the supervision of a qualified and experienced
teacher in order to better understand the subject. A good teacher will help you
understand the different ways of interpreting these traditional texts.

Always keep in mind that these methods are merely transliterated text from old
classics. You need to use your wisdom and judgment to use the information in this
book when reading BaZi Charts, and your wisdom and judgment will be better honed
under experienced guidance and tutoring.

Therefore, it will be important to bear in mind as well that these texts should not be
taken literally. Different masters may agree or disagree with the classical commentaries
included here, and as a student, it’s important for you to know the reasons why. It
becomes absolutely crucial for you, as a student and/or learner of BaZi, to know and
understand those reasons and then go on to form your own conclusions, based on
your understanding of the various interpretations.

As such, this book is largely designed to be a reference accompaniment for the

students of my BaZi MasteryTM training programs, where you’ll be able to get the
guidance you need in interpreting these traditional texts and methods. I encourage you
to take a class because it will help to place this material in context and give you the
added knowledge you need to help you make the most of the information contained
within this book. Each and every Hour Pillar in this book could be its own chapter,
because it exerts tremendous influence on the quality of a BaZi Chart.

I wish you all the best in your exploration on this subject and may you enjoy many
pleasurable hours of study ahead of you!

Warm regards,

Joey Yap

Earth Qi, is spread across the Chen 辰 (Dragon), Xu 戌 (Dog), Chou 丑

(Ox) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches. This Day Master is considered
strong in Yin 寅 (Tiger) Month as it is rooted in the month branch. The Bing
丙 Fire Heavenly Stem within the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch also provides
it with warmth. This is especially better when Bing Fire protrudes to the
Heavenly Stem. Jia 甲 Wood counterpart also supporting Fire, Earth Qi -
although cold - is therefore strong and solid.

The Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also strong. But
since this Day Master is still at risk of becoming too cold, it should
avoid encountering additional Metal Qi as much as possible. Metal only
produces more Water and should this occur, it would be best to also
have more Earth present to keep excessive Water under control.

The Jia 甲 Wood and Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stems within the Yin 寅 (Tiger)
Earthly Branch are strong. Meanwhile, the Gui 癸 Water Heavenly Stem
of the Hour Pillar is rooted in and also has its Qi stored within the Chou 丑
(Ox) Earthly Branch. It is good to have Water present to provide moisture
to this Day Master. However, additional Water Qi should preferably
remain hidden, instead of being revealed. This is because where Water is
abundantly present, it would erode the Earth Qi of this Day Master.

Meanwhile, should Bing Fire also happen to be revealed, it would provide

warmth to this Day Master, and hence allow it to remain well-balanced.
This is most ideal. Such a chart belongs to a person who will enjoy great
success and a lifetime of achievements. Where additional Earth is found
- it is considered heavy and overly strong, Wood should be present to
loosen it.

This Day Master is not considered strong, due to the presence of the
Wood Qi of the two Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branches.

Where Wood is so strong, it would counter and weaken Earth. This is why
the Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem within the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch is a
preferred Useful God, since Fire weakens Wood and also produces and
strengthens this Day Master.

Where Wood is overly strong, the presence of Bing Fire will suffice to
weaken and keep the former under control. Nevertheless, the Qi of
Wood, Fire and Earth still remain very dry. This is why some Water Qi is
needed to provide moisture, so that this Day Master may be kept warm,
while also moistened accordingly.

The Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches belong
to the Eastern Wood formation. The Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the
Hour Pillar, being seated atop its Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch, is also
prosperous. Since Yi Wood is very strong in the spring, it would be
difficult for this Day Master to withstand its onslaught - even though
this Day Master is stable, due to the roots inside the Yin (Tiger) Earthly
Branch of the month.

This is why Fire should preferably be revealed in the Heavenly Stems,

so that the Wood Qi may be redirected to support the Earth. Otherwise,
Metal should at least be present to keep Wood under control. Where
conditions are met, this person will enjoy fame and good fortune.

The Yang Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch is a Friend

Star to this Day Master. Meanwhile, the Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth
Hidden Stems within the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch also support
and strengthen this Day Master. And with Bing Fire revealed as the
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, this Day Master is considered strong
and healthy.

Meanwhile, the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chen (Dragon)
Earthly Branch continues to be stored there. And since it is not clashed
against, Water is able to continue providing moisture to this Day Master
- hence allowing it to remain well-balanced. Where such conditions are
met, this Day Master is able to favor all 5 Elements, a rare condition
indeed.

There are two Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stems, with each found within the Yin
寅 (Tiger) and Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branches. And with Ding 丁 Fire also
revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, Fire hence features
prominently in this Day Master’s case.

Although Fire is supposed to serve as a Useful God this time of the year,
Fire that is too hot will result in an extremely dry Day Master. This will also
cause it to lose all moisture (Water Qi) and sense of balance. And Water
is the Wealth elements of this Day Master.

This is why Water should preferably be present to provide moisture. If

Water is weak or lacking, though, Metal should be present to produce
Water.

This Day Master is strong, being seated atop the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly
Branch. It also forms a Goat Blade Structure with the Wu 午 (Horse)
Earthly Branch. The Yin (Tiger) and Wu (Horse) Earthly Branches also
combine to form a partial Fire Structure. And where Wood is transformed
in producing Fire, Fire in turn will produce and strengthen this Day
Master. Meanwhile, the revealing of Wu 戊 Earth as the Heavenly Stem of
the Hour Pillar also supports this Day Master. This is too strong.

Where Earth Qi is spread unevenly, though, it will be void and weak. But if
it gathers or accumulates with Water, it will be akin to mud. And mud - or
wet Earth - is a sickness to this Day Master. Under such circumstances,
Metal is needed to weaken and loosen the Earth, with clear Water to
provide some moisture. Wood is also needed to loosen Earth.

This Day Master is rooted inside the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch.
Meanwhile, the Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stem and Yin Earth Qi of the Wei
未 (Goat) Earthly Branch in the Hour Pillar are both Rob Wealth Stars to
this Day Master. Given that Earth Qi is strong this Month, though, the Jia
甲 Wood Hidden Stem within the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch would not be
strong enough to loosen it.

This is why Jia Wood should also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems.
There is also the need for Metal Qi to be avoided; although if Wood
is missing, Metal would instead become Useful Gods in loosening the
Earth.

The Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branches clash with one
another; resulting in their Metal and Wood Qi being scattered. Therefore,
both Metal and Wood shall become ineffective as Useful Gods to this
Day Master.

Although Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stem is prosperous and seated atop

the Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch in the Hour Pillar, the preceding clash
will only cause it to be uprooted.

Wu 午 (Horse) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches should preferably be

present as well, and combine with the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch in
producing a Fire Structure. Then only Geng Metal truly serve as a Useful
God to this Day Master. Otherwise, Wu 戊 Earth and Ji 己 Earth remain
this Day Master’s preferred Useful Gods.

The Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is strong, being seated
atop its You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch. This allows this Day Master
to remain sentimental and well-balanced. In any case, this Day Master
needs to be warmed, moistened as well as loosened, in order for it to
be prosperous.

Bing 丙 Fire, Jia 甲 Wood and Gui 癸 Water remain indispensable Useful
Gods to this Day Master. If all three are present, this Day Master shall be
a prosperous, well-balanced one. If this Day Master is weak, however,
only Fire may be suitably employed as its Useful God. Should it happen
to be strong, Water and Wood are its preferred Useful Gods.

If Water and Wood happen to be missing, then this strong Day Master
should be suitably weakened.

The Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Hour helps strengthen this Day Master. It
is also strong, due to its birth in the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Month.

Nevertheless, the Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch’s Earth Qi can counter and

weaken the Qi of its Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem, in the Hour Pillar. This
is why the Zi 子 (Rat) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches should preferably
be present, so that Water Qi will not be lacking.

It would be even better if Metal Qi is also present to arbitrate between

Earth and Water.

The Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches form one of the Six
Combinations in producing Wood. And with the combined Water Qi of
the Gui 癸 Water - Hai (Pig) Hour Pillar, Wood Qi is duly supported and
further strengthened.

Although the Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stems within the Yin
(Tiger) Earthly Branch are supposed to be this Day Master’s Useful Gods,
they lack the strength to hold their own against strong Water and Wood.
The presence of abundant Wood weakens this Day Master.

In order to keep Wood under control, Metal is the preferred Useful God to
do so. Where Metal is insufficient for this purpose- it may even produce
Water, which in turn, will produce and support Wood. This is why Fire is
first needed to weaken Wood, as well as produce and strengthen this
Day Master.

This Day Master is countered and weakened, this Month - and hence
lacks the stability of those born in a Yin 寅 (Tiger) Month. Wood Qi also
features prominently in this chart, as well as the Water Qi of the Ren 壬
Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Although Ren 壬 Water Qi is
clear, this Day Master is still very weak. This is why Fire and Earth remain
preferred as Useful Gods.

When this Day Master is duly strengthened, only then may it hold its own
against strong Wood. Where conditions are not met, a life full of broken
dreams awaits.

The Earth Qi of the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch is controlled by the

Wood Qi of Mao 卯 (Rabbit). Although the Yin Wood Qi of the Mao
(Rabbit) Earthly Branch represents soft Wood, it still has the strength to
counter and control Earth.

Meanwhile, the Xin 辛 Metal and Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stems within the
Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch are also both strong (as long as they are
not exposed). This allows them to discreetly support and strengthen the
Gui 癸 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar; which in turn, becomes
clearer Water. Clear water is considered ideal for Earth.

This weak Day Master is unable to withstand the onslaught of strong

Water. As such, the Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Xu 戌 (Dog)
Earthly Branches should preferably be present, to support it.

In addition, Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire should also be available to

provide warmth. If this condition is not met- further meeting additional
Metal and Water Qi will be disastrous.

Only the Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stems within the Yin 寅

Fire should also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems, in order to weaken

Wood as well as produce and strengthen this Day Master. Since Wood
and Earth may be a little dry, a little Water is needed to moisten them.

This Day Master is weak and frail; since it is countered by strong Wood.
This is why Earth and Fire are preferred Useful Gods in providing much-

of fulfillment and happiness awaits.

If only Wood and Water happen to be present in the entire chart,

though, a Follow the Killings Structure may possibly be formed. Where
successfully formed, the person will be achieve enormous status and

The Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Hour supports and allows this Day
Master to be rooted. Meanwhile, the Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit)
Month also produces and strengthens the Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem
of the Hour Pillar. This means that both Wood and Fire Qi are strong and
pure.

Where Wood, Fire and Earth co-exist harmoniously, the BaZi Chart’s
structure would be a clear, stable one. Where Water - hidden within
the Earthly Branches - be revealed to the Heavenly Stems, this chart’s
quality of life drops to average.

If Earth and Metal are seen penetrating to the Heavenly Stems, this Day
Master would become murky, instead of clear. This denotes constant and
never-ending emotional drama.

The combined Fire Qi of the Ding 丁 Fire - Si 巳 (Snake) Hour produces

The advent of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Month means that Wood Qi remains
strong and pure. This hence allows Wood to serve as Useful Gods to this
strong Day Master.

The Wood Qi of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is invariably weakened

by Fire. Water remains a preferred Useful God in producing and ensuring
the continuity of Wood. Otherwise, Wood shall be without any support;
making it difficult to be employed as a Useful God.

The presence of two Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stems in the Day and Hour
Pillars results in a Goat Blade Structure being formed with the Wu 午
(Horse) Earthly Branch.

Meanwhile, the Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is also not
averse towards encountering Fire - resulting in it producing and further
strengthening Fire Qi. Wood, Fire and Earth Qi continue to be produced;
leading to a clear, stable scenario.

But Wood and Fire Qi also feature prominently in the Hour Pillar. It is
important to have Regulating Useful Gods (Metal and Water) present, to
keep them under control.

Water that is also rooted - along with Metal to produce Water - should be
present to moisten Wood and keep Fire under control; thereby allowing
this Day Master to remain productive. Such denotes a life of great
achievements and success.

Earth Qi is stuck and dormant, this Month. Nevertheless, the Yin Earth

this weak Day Master. The Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly
Branches, however, quietly combine to form a partial Wood Structure.
Earth and Wood shall weaken one another.

As such, Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire should preferably be present in

the Year and Month Pillars, to arbitrate between Wood and Earth Qi. This
would also lead to a situation whereby Wood, Fire and Earth co-exist
harmoniously. But since this Day Master also lacks moisture, Water
should preferably be present in some form to act as Regulating Useful
Gods.

The Yang Metal Qi of the Geng 庚 Metal - Shen 申 (Monkey) Hour is

combine with the Geng Metal Hidden Stem of the Shen (Monkey) Month
to produce Metal.

And where Metal is overly heavy and strong, it would be a sickness to

this weak Day Master. Strong Earth should be revealed in the Heavenly
Stems to cover Metal Qi or perhaps, Water, to weaken Metal.

Where this Day Master is weak but Metal strong, Fire remains its primary
Useful Gods in keeping Metal under control. In addition, Fire also
produces and protects this Day Master.

The Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branches clash with one

the stronger of the two, Wood shall be hurt and weakened considerably.
If Wood is instead stronger, it would counter-control Metal.

Metal Qi is becoming prosperous, due to the presence of the Xin 辛 Metal

- You (Rooster) Hour Pillar. Meanwhile, Wood Qi is also strong due to the
presence of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch of the month. This means
that both Wood and Metal Qi are in constant state of pressure.

As such, this Day Master clashes with strong Wood, and is also further
weakened by strong Metal. Fire is needed to weaken Wood and keep
Metal under control; in addition to producing and strengthening this Day
Master. Fire becomes a multi-purpose Useful God to this Day Master.

Where the quality of Fire Qi is good, this chart belongs to a multi-talented

individual who’s work could influence the masses.

This Day Master is rooted in the Xu 戌 (Dog) Hour. The Ding 丁 Fire

remains hidden and inconspicuous in the Earthly Branches.

Meanwhile, the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and Xu (Dog) Earthly Branches form one
of the Six Combinations in producing Fire to support any Fire Qi already
present.

However, the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem is seated atop the Wu 戊

Earth Hidden Stem within the Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch, in the Hour Pillar.
Water Qi is not rooted; but since this strong Day Master favors Water as
one of its Useful Gods, Metal is needed to produce Water.

this Month, there is a need to prevent this Day Master from becoming

purpose.

There is also the need for this Day Master to avoid strong or blazing Fire,

Water is needed to provide moisture - so that this Day Master may

The presence of two Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stems in the Day and Hour
Pillars means that Earth Qi is flowing smoothly. The Wu Earth Heavenly
Stem of the Hour Pillar also forms a Goat Blade Structure with its Wu 午
(Horse) Earthly Branch. This Day Master is very strong in the presence of
three Earth and one Fire Useful Gods.

Meanwhile, the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chen 辰 (Dragon)
Earthly Branch is just sufficient to provide some much-needed moisture
to this otherwise dry Day Master. This is the most important star in the
chart.

As such, only Jia 甲 Wood should preferably be revealed in the Heavenly

Stems, to keep both these strong Day Master and Goat Blade Structure
formed, under control. Where a Goat Blade Structure is formed, it should
also be accompanied by Jia Wood.

Water is stuck, due to the accumulation of Earth Qi, brought about by

the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Month, as well as Ji 己 Earth - Wei 未 (Goat) Hour
Pillar. Wood should preferably be present to loosen Earth, with Water to
provide moisture and Metal to weaken it.

Where Fire and Earth are repeatedly seen, Wood and Metal would be
missing as Useful Gods in clashing with and weakening them. However,
if Earth is abundantly present, a Super Vibrant Earth Structure may
possibly be formed. - in which any additional Wood stars should be
avoided.

The combined Metal Qi of the Geng 庚 Metal - Shen 申 (Monkey) Hour

Pillar weakens Earth Qi; therefore allowing it to flow smoothly. Meanwhile,
the Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stem within the Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch
remains strong.

The Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch also contains Gui 癸 Water as

one of its Hidden Stems. This means that the Shen (Monkey) and Chen
(Dragon) Earthly Branches will also support the Water Qi of any Zi 子 (Rat)
Earthly Branch present.

Although Geng Metal is strong, its strength does not equal that of
Water’s. This is why Fire and Earth should preferably be present in
strength, to support this Day Master.

Yin Metal Qi is prosperous, due to the presence of the Xin 辛 Metal - You
酉 (Rooster) Hour Pillar. The You (Rooster) and Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly
Branches also form one of the Six Combinations in producing Metal -
although in actual fact, it is the Earth Qi of the Chen (Dragon) Earthly
Branch that produces Metal Qi.

Although this Day Master is strong, the Earth Qi of the Chen (Dragon)
Earthly Branch is weakened by the Metal Qi of its You (Rooster)
counterpart. The Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch lacks the strength to truly
support this Day Master.

Since being overly weakened is a sickness to this Day Master, Fire should
be present to produce and support Earth. Where Fire is accompanied by
Wood, this Day Master shall remain prosperous. Where it encounters
Xin Metal, Fire remains a preferred Useful God to this Day Master in
keeping Metal under control. Where Fire is seen, Ji 己 Earth must not
be missing.

壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is controlled and dammed
by the combined Earth Qi of the Chen (Dragon) and Xu (Dog) Earthly

There is also the need to avoid encountering more heavy Earth; although

This Day Master is strong, being supported by the Earth Qi of the Chen

Gui 癸 Water - Hai 亥 (Pig) Hour Pillar. This strong Water Qi also produces
and strengthens the Jia 甲 Wood Hidden Stem within the Hai 亥 (Pig)
Earthly Branch - Jia Wood is not lacking in strength.

As such, although Earth and Water are supposed to clash with one
another, Jia Wood is present to keep Earth under control. This allows
this Day Master to remain light and well-balanced, even if Water and Jia
Wood are stronger than it. Fire may then be used to keep Wood under
control, as well as produce and strengthen this Day Master.

Day Master.

The Water Qi of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar also moistens

Gui Water is able to serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

Nevertheless, Metal and Water should also be present in the BaZi Chart.
This Day Master should also avoid encountering Fire and Earth.

This Day Master is rooted in the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch, and hence

in the same Earthly Branch - is also strong. This Day Master and Fire are
both strong and firmly rooted.

Meanwhile, the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch also contains Gui 癸

Water amongst its Hidden Stems. This means that its Earth Qi is hence
moistened; although it also weakens Water.

Water as a Hidden Stem is quite weak in Qi, which is why it should

also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems, too. Metal should at least be
available to produce Water.

This Day Master is prosperous, more so in the presence of two Si 巳

Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, Fire continues to produce Earth -
resulting in both being overly strong. Since Fire is overly strong, Earth is
thick and hard -Water then, remains an indispensable Regulating Useful
God.

Should Ren 壬 Water or Gui 癸 Water happen to be missing, though,

Metal may be used to weaken Earth. Metal is a secondary Useful God
to this Day Master.

Under special conditions - it may possibly be favorable to this Day

Master if it encounters even more Earth. This is where Metal is totally
missing - but Wu 戊 Earth and Ji 己 Earth are instead seen in abundance
- a special structure known as Super Vibrant Earth Structure may
possibly be formed.

prosperous, with a Goat Blade Structure being formed. Earth Qi is overly
strong and this is an unfavorable situation - since it results in Fire burning
and producing strong, stubborn Earth.

Water Qi is much needed to provide moisture; so that this Day

Master may become a productive, well-balanced one. Where Water is
insufficient it may be dried up by such strong Fire. This is why where
Water is employed as a Useful God, it should be accompanied by Metal
to produce and support it.

are important Regulating Useful Gods to this Day Master. If Water is
insufficiently present, it must not be countered by an abundance of
Earth.

Metal must also be present to weaken Earth, as well as produce Water,

in order for this Day Master to remain well-balanced. As such, Metal
remains this Day Master’s primary Useful God, due to its importance
even over Water.

Where Metal is present in abundance and weakens this Day Master, the

Where Fire and Earth are present in abundance - leading to a strong Day

Although Earth and Metal Qi both feature prominently, the strong

presence of Fire means that it would be impossible for a special structure

Where Water is revealed in the Heavenly Stems, it may serve as a Useful

God to a strong Day Master. However, a weak Day Master should employ

the Hour Pillar - being seated atop the Earth Qi of its Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly
Branch - is considerably weakened. As such, there is a need for this Day
Master to avoid becoming too dry; as well as encountering strong Fire.

Water should preferably be present to provide moisture, while Metal

is all the more important as a Useful God in producing Water. Water is
controlled by the strong Earth Qi of the Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch, and
lacks the strength to effectively serve as a Regulating Useful God. Metal

Fire Qi is very strong and could possibly scorch this Day Master. This is
why Water remains a primary Regulating Useful God. This Day Master
also forms a Goat Blade Structure with the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch;
resulting in Earth Qi being strong as well. This also allows the Water Qi
of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar to successfully moisten such
thick and dry Earth.

The Zi (Rat) and Wu (Horse) Earthly Branches clash with one another;
which is why a relevant Earthly Branch should be present to combine in
order to avert or perhaps soften such a clash. Otherwise, Metal may be
used to produce Water.

The Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branches combine to

form a partial Fire Structure. In addition, the Fire Qi of the Wu (Horse)
Earthly Branch also combines with any Goat Blade Structure formed.
Nevertheless, the Yang Wood Qi of the Jia 甲 Wood - Yin 寅 (Tiger) Hour
Pillar is rooted and strong. This results in Wood producing and further
strengthening Fire.

This Day Master is strong in the presence of a Goat Blade Structure as

well as the Wood Qi of the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch. Where Wood is
strong, it would produce and strengthen Fire - and this in turn would
lead to this Day Master becoming dry. Metal and Water are important
Regulating Useful Gods to this Day Master.

Meanwhile, any Useful Gods that produce Metal and Water, as well as
counter Wood and Fire, remain secondary Useful Gods.

The Yin Wood Qi of the Yi 乙 Wood - Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch

is strong and clear. It is also able to co-exist harmoniously with the
Fire Qi of the Wu 午 (Horse) Month. Since strong Wood produces and
strengthens Fire Qi.

This is why Metal and Water - revealed in the Heavenly Stems and also
rooted - must be present as Useful Gods as well, in order to moisten
Wood and loosen Earth.

The Fire Qi of the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch and Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly
Stem of the Hour Pillar accumulate within the former. Where Fire burns
and blazes, this Day Master is dry. Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon)
Earthly Branch is important, in weakening Fire Qi -since its Gui 癸 Water
Hidden Stem also provides much-needed moisture.

Nevertheless, this Gui Water Hidden Stem is too weak to provide any real
moisture. This is why the Shen 申 (Monkey), You 酉 (Rooster), Hai 亥 (Pig)
or Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branches should be present; so that Water Qi may
be duly produced and supported.

The Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is prosperous, in

the presence of the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. This Day Master is
prosperous, in the presence of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch, which
means that Fire and Earth Qi feature prominently. Nevertheless, Earth is
too dry in the summer and unable to grow or produce anything.

Water should preferably be present to moisten it. Furthermore, unless

Metal and Wood are also present in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly
Branches - or intermingle and penetrate to the Heavenly Stems - Fire and
Earth remain as Useful Gods to this Day Master. Otherwise, Metal may
be used to produce more Water as a Useful God.

Earthly Branches present. This means that Fire and Earth co-exist
harmoniously. In the presence of two Goat Blade Structures, Fire Qi is
further strengthened. Where Fire and Earth are seen, this Day Master
would have no choice but to employ both as Useful Gods.

Earth features prominently, in the presence of the Ji 己 Earth - Wei 未

(Goat) Hour Pillar, as well as Goat Blade Structure formed by the Wu 午
(Horse) Earthly Branch. Since this Goat Blade Structure is strong, Jia 甲
Wood should be used to keep the Earth Qi it produces, under control.

Jia Wood is weakened and transformed by - and into - Fire Qi. As such,
Metal remains a preferred Useful God in weakening Earth, as well as
producing Water.

This Day Master is strong, more so by forming a Goat Blade Structure

with the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stem
- being seated atop the Yang Metal Qi of its Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly
Branch - is strong. Anyway, Metal is needed to weaken this strong Day
Master and allow its Qi to flow harmoniously.

Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch also contains Ren 壬 Water amongst its
Hidden Stems. Its Metal Qi is also important in producing Water Qi and
allows this Day Master to be duly moistened. This is why Geng 庚 Metal
should be used to produce and ensure the continuity of Water.

If Water and Metal Qi are stronger than Fire and Earth Qi, Fire may then
be used as a Resource Star in producing this Day Master. However, this
situation is difficult to achieve.

The Wu 午 (Horse) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches combine to form a

partial Fire Structure. This means that the Goat Blade Structure formed by
the Wu (Horse) Earthly Branch is combined away, as a result. Meanwhile,
the Earth Qi of the Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch is also transformed into Fire
- resulting in a very strong Day Master.

Unfortunately, the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is fast
losing its strength, more so in mid-summer and being seated atop the
Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch. This is why the Shen 申 (Monkey) and Hai 亥
(Pig) Earthly Branches should be present, since they help to produce
and support Metal and Water Qi. Then and only then will this Day Master
become a lively and well-balanced. Where such conditions are met, this
person can enjoy and extremely prosperous and noble life.

being produced and remaining strong. Nevertheless, Water Qi is also
strong, in the presence of the Gui 癸 Water - Hai 亥 (Pig) Hour Pillar.

Although Jia 甲 Wood is supposed to keep the Earth Qi of the Goat Blade
Structure formed by the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch under control, it
should not be used in general. Instead, Metal and Water should be used
to weaken Earth and Fire.

Fire Qi is waning, this Month - while Earth Qi is at its strongest. Meanwhile,

Water Qi is strong and rooted in the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar.
As such, it is sufficient to provide moisture to this Day Master.

Nevertheless, the Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Month counters Water Qi.
This is why the Shen 申 (Monkey) and You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branches
should preferably be present, so that their Metal Qi will weaken Earth,
and simultaneously, produce Water.

Metal is an Arbitrating Useful God to this Day Master. The presence or

absence of Metal has an influence on the overall structure of this Day
Master’s BaZi Chart.

The Chou 丑 (Ox) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches clash with one
another; resulting in Earth becoming stronger. Meanwhile, the Gui 癸
Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is rooted in its Chou (Ox) Earthly
Branch. Due to the preceding clash, Water Qi is weakened. Since Earth is
very strong while Water very weak, Metal is urgently needed to produce
and support Water Qi.

Where Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth are seen in the Heavenly Stem and
exert their control over Water, Metal may also be used to weaken Earth -
and bring about an overall favorable situation to this Day Master.

weakened by the Bing Fire hidden Stem within the Yin (Tiger) Earthly

The Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches also combine to
form a partial Wood Structure; Yin Earth Qi is transformed into Yin Wood
Qi. Yi 乙 Wood also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar and
its abundant presence leads to Jia 甲 Wood being present in strength.

Where Jia Wood is strong, this Day Master is weakened. This is why Jia
Wood must be kept under control, or transformed into another element
that will not be detrimental to this Day Master.

This Day Master would be a prosperous one, where Fire is available to

weaken and transform strong Wood. In addition, Fire also produces and
strengthens this Day Master - and acts as an Arbitrating Useful God
between Earth and Wood Qi. Where Earth is dry, though, Water should
preferably be present to moisten it.

The Si 巳 (Snake) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches support Fire Qi,
and with Ding 丁 Fire also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour

it with some much-needed moisture. Should Water be unavailable, this
Day Master would only be as good as dry, hard Earth - unable to produce
anything.

Strong Fire is a sickness to this Day Master, with Water as its Medicating
Useful God. If Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water are missing, though,
Metal may also be used as a substitute Medicating Useful God - since
it produces Water.

The Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar supports and

strengthens this Day Master. Nevertheless, since the Fire Qi of the Wu 午
(Horse) Earthly Branch produces this Day Master, it is at risk of becoming
too strong and dry. This is why Wood must also be present, to loosen
such strong Earth. Likewise, Water should be present as well to moisten
dry Wood.

While Wood is important in loosening Earth, Water is all the more

important as a Regulating Useful God to this Day Master. Since Metal
produces Water, it should not be missing as a Useful God.

Earth Qi is thick and strong, in the presence of the Wu 戊 Earth and

Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems, as well as two Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly
Branches. Where Earth is tough and hard - and if Fire and more Earth
are encountered in the other Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches
- a Super Vibrant Earth Structure may possibly be formed. This is
unique, since Earth is needed to support such a Structure. Where such
special conditions are met, this person lives and extraordinary life with
extraordinary achievements.

Where Metal, Water and Wood are present, then this is an ordinary
structure. In these situations, this Day Master may use Wood to loosen
Earth, as well as Metal and Water to provide it with some moisture.

This Day Master is firmly rooted in the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch.
Nevertheless, Metal and Water Qi co-exist harmoniously, in the Geng 庚
Metal - Shen 申 (Monkey) Hour Pillar. Metal would be able to weaken this
strong Day Master, while Water shall moisten and help it overcome its dry
condition. This would hence allow it to be a productive, well-balanced
Day Master.

Where Earth and Metal Qi flow harmoniously, Fire Qi shall be further

weakened, especially towards late summer. Should Metal and Water
happen to be too strong, there is the possibility that they could bring
about cold Qi. Under such circumstances, Wood and Fire should
preferably be present as Useful Gods, so that this Day Master may

Although Earth produces Metal, the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch also
contains Ding 丁 Fire as one if its Hidden Stems. This results in Earth Qi
being dry and not only unable to produce Metal - it would hurt Metal as
well. As such, the Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Month is only good for
supporting this Day Master, but not for producing Metal.

Water must first be present to help this Day Master overcome its dry
condition. The ability of Earth to produce Metal depends on the presence
or absence of Water.

Heavenly Stem within both Earthly Branches is also strong enough to

Meanwhile, the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is a

Regulating Useful God to this Day Master. Unfortunately, Ren Water is
seated atop -and hence clashes with - the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch in

Water Qi is strong in the presence of the Gui 癸 Water - Hai 亥 (Pig)

Earthly Branch - although not as strong as Earth Qi. Where Wood is
available, though, it may be employed as a Useful God to this strong
Day Master. In the absence of Wood, Water may then be employed as a
secondary Useful God.

Water also produces and strengthens the Jia 甲 Wood Hidden Stem
within the Hai (Pig) Earthly Branch - while the Hai (Pig) and Wei 未
(Goat) Earthly Branches also support Wood Qi. This allows Wood to be
apparently stronger than Water and as the Useful Gods.

Where Metal is also available to weaken Earth and produce Water, Geng
庚 Metal would be preferred to Wood, as the Useful God.

Yang Qi is waning, as it grows colder, this Month. As such, Bing 丙 Fire is

this Day Master’s primary Useful God, with Gui 癸 Water and Jia 甲 Wood
its secondary Useful Gods. The Shen 申 (Monkey) and Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly
Branches also combine to form a partial Water Structure. And with Ren
壬 Water also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, Water
features prominently, while Earth is weak and loose.

Since strong Water is a sickness to this Day Master, Wu 戊 Earth and Ji

己 Earth remain preferred Useful Gods, in keeping strong Water Qi under
control. Meanwhile, Fire should also be present to provide warmth.

The Geng 庚 Metal and Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stems within the Shen 申
(Monkey) Earthly Branch - and Xin 辛 Metal and Gui 癸 Water Hidden
Stems within its Chou 丑 (Ox) counterpart - coupled with the revealing
of Gui Water as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, results in Water Qi
being strong.

Nevertheless, this Day Master is nowhere as strong as its counterpart

born in the summer. Where Water is present in abundance, Earth floats -
making it hard for the latter to grow or produce anything.

Earth is needed as a Medicating Useful God, to counter the sickness

brought about by Water. In addition, Fire should also be present to
produce and strengthen this Day Master - so that it may remain well-
balanced.

Earthly Branch. Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stems within
this Earthly Branch support this Day Master. Nevertheless, the Shen
申 (Monkey) and Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branches clash with one another
- resulting in Bing Fire and Wu Earth Hidden Stems being hurt and
weakened.

Meanwhile, Jia 甲 Wood - revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour

Pillar - also counters and clashes with this Day Master. As such, Jia
Wood should instead be used to produce Fire.

the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch combines discreetly with the Yi
Wood Hidden Stem within the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch, in producing
Metal. As such, this Day Master cannot help being weakened by the
presence of Wood and Metal.

Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth must also be present as Useful Gods, in

order that Water and Wood may also be employed as its supporting
Useful Gods. In the absence of Earth, Fire may then be used to weaken
and transform Wood.

Although Metal Qi is already strong, the Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon)

Earthly Branch also produces Metal. Meanwhile, the Chen (Dragon) and
Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branches also support Water Qi. Nevertheless,
the absence of the Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch would result
in Metal and Earth featuring prominently.

Given that this Day Master is weak, Fire and more Earth remain preferred
Useful God in strengthening it accordingly. Nevertheless, the Bing 丙 Fire
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is weakened, being seated atop the
Earth Qi of its Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch.

Wood and Fire should also be present, in order that Fire Qi may serve as
a Useful God to this Day Master.

With two Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stems revealed, a Goat Blade Structure

is formed with the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. thick Earth Qi
accumulates within the Wu (Horse) Earthly Branch; resulting in a really
strong Day Master.

Meanwhile, the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch also contains Ren 壬

Water amongst its Hidden Stems - whose Qi is clear and untainted.
Metal should also be present as a Useful God in producing and ensuring
the continuity of Water Qi.

However, there is a need to prevent this Day Master from becoming too
cold; where Metal and Water are present in abundance. In addition, both
have the capacity to transform thick Earth into wet mud.

provide this Day Master with much-needed warmth. Nevertheless, this
Day Master is still firmly rooted in the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch of the
Hour Pillar. The Ding 丁 Fire Hidden Stem within this Earthly Branch is
able to serve as a Regulating Useful God to this Day Master.

If this Day Master is strong enough, Water and Wood are its preferred
Useful Gods. This Day Master shall be a prosperous one, where Water
and Wood are both revealed.

Geng 庚 Metal is strong and prosperous; being seated atop two Shen 申
(Monkey) Earthly Branches. But this Day Master is also overly weakened
by the abundant presence of Geng Metal. The strong presence of Geng
Metal hurts this Day Master. Under such circumstances, Bing 丙 Fire
and Ding 丁 Fire should also be present in strength, to counter and keep
Geng Metal under control.

Fire is the Medicating Useful God in overcoming the sickness brought

about by too much Metal. It would also be favorable to have Earth
present in abundance, to support this Day Master.

Metal and Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stems within the Shen 申 (Monkey)
Earthly Branch remain strong. As such, it would be hard for this Day
Master to withstand the onslaught of such strong Metal and Water Qi.

Metal Qi of the Xin 辛 Metal - You 酉 (Rooster) Hour Pillar further

strengthens Geng Metal. This Day Master needs to be strengthened -
and not weakened - as its survival depends on the former.

Where Fire and Earth are missing as Useful Gods, though - while the
Geng Metal and Xin Metal Heavenly Stems and more Shen (Monkey) and
You (Rooster) Earthly Branches are present - a Follow the Son Structure
may possibly be formed. This Day Master would not really be able to
lead an optimal quality of life; should Fire and Earth only happen to be
minimally present as Useful Gods.

With the Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stem within this Earthly Branch also
revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, the presence of Metal
further strengthens Water Qi.

Nevertheless, the Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch is weak, in

the autumn. This is why Fire and more Earth are needed for support; so
that Water may also be employed as a Useful God to this Day Master.

The strong Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch further

Earthly Branch. And since this Day Master is surrounded by Water, it
is weakened greatly. As such, Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth are the best
Medicating Useful Gods to the sickness brought about by strong Water.

Earth is needed to counter and keep Water - especially when present in

abundance - under control. It would be even better if Fire is also available
to provide warmth to this Day Master. In any case, this Day Master
should avoid encountering Metal and Wood, where possible.

Metal is strong, this Month, resulting in Earth Qi being weakened. This

Day Master’s chances of being produced and strengthened are hence
low. As such, Bing 丙 Fire should preferably be present to provide it with
warmth, first, followed by Gui 癸 Water as a secondary Useful God.

Meanwhile, the Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Month produces and

strengthens the Water Qi of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar -
resulting in this Day Master being further isolated. As such, the cold Qi
brought about by Metal and Water is a sickness to this Day Master. This
is why dry, solid Earth should preferably be present as a Useful God, in
order to prevent the preceding scenario from taking place.

If Fire and Earth are unavailable, while Metal and Water are instead
encountered, a Super Vibrant Metal Structure may possibly be formed.

sickness brought about by Water, Fire and Earth remain indispensable

If Fire is available but Earth missing - it would be difficult for this Day

Likewise, the Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also

against by Wood and weakened by Metal, it is weakened considerably.

In addition, given that Wood Qi is also weak, Water should also be

present to produce and strengthen it. Likewise, where this Day Master is
weak, Fire and Ji 己 Earth should be present to support and strengthen it.
Ji Earth and Fire are better Useful Gods to this Day Master, than Water.

The Chen 辰 (Dragon) and You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branches form one of
the Six Combinations in producing Metal. This also means that Earth falls
under the control of strong Metal Qi. As such, although this Day Master
is supposed to be rooted in the Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch, the Metal
Qi of the You (Rooster) Earthly Branch weakens it.

It is just as well that Bing 丙 Fire is revealed as the Heavenly Stem of

the Hour Pillar. This is because it provides warmth to this otherwise
cold Day Master. Furthermore, this Day Master, being weak, needs to
be supported and strengthened - which is why Wood should also be
present as a Useful God, too. Where Water is encountered, Wood must
be present to weaken Water, while more Earth is needed to keep Water
under control.

Nevertheless, the You 酉 (Rooster) and Si (Snake) Earthly Branches

which is why Fire hence remains a preferred Useful God.

Master. Where Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water are also present, Xin Metal

Being surrounded by three Earth and one Metal element, this Day Master
is strong enough. Nevertheless, Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth should also
preferably be present to support this Day Master, and prevent it from
being overly weakened.

Meanwhile, the Ding 丁 Fire Hidden Stem within the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly
Branch discreetly provides this Day Master with some warmth. Despite
Ding Fire’s discreet presence, this is still better than having weak Fire Qi
present in abundance.

The Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Month also weakens this Day
Master. As such, Xin 辛 Metal - with Wood also revealed in the Heavenly
Stems - should be used, so that Wood may serve as a Useful God to
this Day Master.

The presence of one Earth and three Metal elements results in Xin 辛
Metal being strong, with this Day Master being weak. This is why Fire
remains a preferred Useful God in producing and strengthening this Day
Master - as well as keeping Metal under control.

Fire also provides this Day Master with much-needed warmth, and is
a multi-purpose Useful God to this Day Master. If it is missing, though,
while Wu 戊 Earth and Ji 己 Earth are the only Useful Gods available,
Water and Wood would be unsuitable as Useful Gods.

The presence of one Earth and three Metal elements results in this Day
Master being isolated and without help. Given that Metal is already
strong in the autumn, this Day Master’s chances of survival are almost
non-existent. This is why Fire remains the most-preferred Useful God for
this Day Master - with more Earth to also support it.

Nevertheless, Jia 甲 Wood and the Wood Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly
Branch - is present - should not be avoided; since both produce Fire and
are not averse to the presence of the strong Yin Metal Qi present. In any
case, Water must be avoided at all costs, if possible.

This Day Master is rooted in the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch, while the
Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is strong in the presence
of the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch. This means that both this Day
Master and Water are strong.

Nevertheless, the Ding 丁 Fire Hidden Stem within the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly
Branch remains hidden, in this storage Earthly Branch. It lacks the
strength to serve as a Useful God; although this Day Master is cold.

This is why Bing 丙 Fire and Ding Fire - revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- as well as the Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) and Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly
Branches are needed; so that this Day Master’s cold condition may be
duly overcome.

This Day Master is very weak, being born in a You 酉 (Rooster) Month.
Meanwhile, the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch is also fast-
depleting. Nevertheless, the Gui 癸 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar is rooted in its Hai (Pig) Earthly Branch - while the Metal Qi of the
You (Rooster) Earthly Branch also produces and hence strengthens
Water Qi. Where Water is strong, Earth is invariably wet.

In order to overcome the sickness brought about by Water, only Earth

may be suitably employed as a Useful God to this Day Master. Fire is
needed to provide warmth and it would be favorable to this Day Master,
where Fire and Earth are both present.

Earth is strong, this Month. And given that Wu 戊 Earth also represents
Yang Earth, Earth Qi is hence thick and heavy. This is why Wood is
needed to loosen Earth, with Water to provide moisture as well. This Day
Master depends on the Water Qi of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly
Branch to provide it with much-needed moisture.

Nevertheless, Earth and Water clash with one another. This is why Metal
is needed as an Arbitrating Useful God between Earth and Water. Strong
Earth is weakened by Metal - while Metal also produces Water; thereby
preventing such a clash from taking place.

Metal is the preferred Useful God to this Day Master; more so since its
presence allows this Day Master to become a prosperous one.

Although Earth is thick this Month, it is nonetheless dry. Nevertheless,

the Ding 丁 Fire and Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stems within the Xu 戌 (Dog)
and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches provide this Day Master with warmth
and moisture - therefore allowing it to remain well-balanced. In addition,
the Gui Water Hidden Stem within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch is
also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - which means the
Water Qi is strong.

Since Earth is heavy and strong, however, Wood must also be present
to loosen it. Water should not be countered and weakened by any Ji
己 Earth present. It would be ideal to have Wood keeping Earth under
control, while Metal produces Water simultaneously.

Earth, and hence serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

clear and also strong. Given that Wood counters Earth, Earth is hence
dry and lacks moisture and be preferable to have some Water Qi in the

Should Water happen to be present in strength, this chart will belong to

a person of great achievements gifted with many talents.

The Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches clash with

one another; resulting in Earth Qi becoming even stronger and denser.
This Day Master is strong, more so in the presence of the Bing 丙 Fire
Heavenly Stem seated atop the Earth Qi of the Chen (Dragon) Earthly
Branch, in the Hour Pillar.

Since this Day Master is already strong, it has no need for additional Fire
Qi to support and further strengthen it. Given that Earth Qi is thick, dense
and solid, Jia 甲 Wood must be present to loosen it. Hence Jia Wood is
the preferred Useful God for this structure. Otherwise, Metal Qi should
at least be present to weaken the overly thick Earth - with presence of
Water Qu to provide this Day Master with moisture. Water is the Wealth
element and its presence denotes a life of achievements.

This Day Master is prosperous in the presence of the Si 巳 (Snake)

Earthly Branch, and also supported by the Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog)
Earthly Branch.

Given that the Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also
strong - due to the Si (Snake) Earthly Branch - the combined presence of
Fire and Earth Qi results in this Day Master being very thick, dense and
hard. This condition denotes a person that is rigid and perhaps, overly
conservative.

Due to its current dry condition, Water Qi is needed as a Regulating

Useful God, in order to provide much-needed moisture. Water Qi is also
a Medicating Useful God in overcoming the potential sickness brought
about by this Day Master’s dry condition.

Meanwhile, Metal Qi should also be present as well to produce and

ensure the continuity of Water Qi. In any case, in the absence of Water
and the presence of all the Four Storages Earthly Branches of Chen 辰
(Dragon), Xu 戌 (Dog), Chou 丑 (Ox) and Wei 未 (Goat), a Super Vibrant
Earth Structure may possibly be formed.

This Day Master is rooted in the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch, as well as

forms a Goat Blade Structure with the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. This
means that both Fire and Earth Qi are very strong and intense. Meanwhile,
since the Wu (Horse) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches combine to form
a partial Fire Structure, Fire Qi is hence further strengthened - while Earth
Qi is correspondingly dry.

Jia 甲 Wood is needed as Useful God to loosen up the Earth Qi. Dense
Earth Qi does not foster growth and happiness. With Wood, the Earth
vitalizes.

Given that it is hard for dry Earth to be productive, Water Qi is needed to

provide it with moisture and life. It would indeed be very favorable to this
Day Master, where Water is also strong enough to produce Wood.

The presence of the Wu 戊 Earth and Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems - as

well as Wei 未 (Goat) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches - means that
there are at least four Earth elements present. This Day Master is too
strong and dry, more so since both Earthly Branches also contain Ding
丁 Fire amongst their Hidden Stems.

If more Wu Earth and Ji Earth Heavenly Stems - as well as Chen 辰

(Dragon) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches - are seen or met in the
chart, Earth Qi would hence be further strengthened; resulting in a
possible Super Vibrant Earth Structure being formed. For this Structure
to be successfully formed, Wood must not be present or seen.

If such a Structure is not formed, however, Metal should preferably be

present to weaken the overly dense Earth Qi - with Water Qi present to
moisten it. Wood would not be able to serve as a Useful God - since it
would be easily broken by thick, heavy Earth.

This Day Master’s Qi is stored within both Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches

present. Since the Ding 丁 Fire Hidden Stems within each Xu (Dog)
Earthly Branch also produces it, this Day Master is also strong. It is
just as well that the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is
sufficient enough to moisten this otherwise dry Day Master - hence
enhancing its chances of being produced accordingly.

Water, however, is countered by strong Earth, this Month. This is why

Metal is needed to produce it, and ensure the continuity of Water Qi - in
order for this Day Master to prosper in life. Water is the favorable Wealth
element.

Without Metal, though, Earth and Water would clash with each other. And
under such circumstances, this Day Master may be afflicted by poverty
or at least, great difficulties in life.

Earth Qi is strong and solid, this Month. Meanwhile, the Gui 癸 Water
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also firmly rooted in its Hai 亥
(Pig) Earthly Branch. Given the proximity of Earth and Water, there is a
possibility that both might clash with one another.

Where Metal is employed as a Useful God to this strong Day Master, it

would be better to have Metal weaken Wu 戊 Earth. Furthermore, Metal
also produces Water, to this Day Master’s benefit. It would be preferable
to have all Five Elements co-existing harmoniously and flowing smoothly
in the BaZi Chart; rather than pitting them against each other, if this Day
Master is to benefit in life.

Earth and Water clash with one another. Where both intermingle, Water
Qi will be contaminated and so will Earth Qi. This Day Master is, however,
subject to very cold conditions, given that it is already mid-winter. This is
why only Fire and Earth remain preferred Useful Gods, while Metal and
Water should be avoided.

Nevertheless, both Earth and Water are cold this Month - thereby reducing
this Day Master’s chances of being produced. Water is also very strong
in the presence of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar as well as Hai
亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch. This causes Earth Qi to be scattered.

Water Qi should be neutralized - which is why more thick Earth is needed

to counter it. Strong Fire is also needed to warm Earth Qi. it would be
impossible for this Day Master to remain well-balanced, in the absence
of Earth and Fire.

The Chou 丑 (Ox) Hour represents wet Earth, which is why is will be
scattered if it encounters the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch. As such, the
Earth Qi of the Chou (Ox) Earthly Branch is of no real help to this Day
Master - more so when surrounded by the Water Qi of the Gui 癸 Water
- Chou (Ox) Hour Pillar and also Hai (Pig) Earthly Branch. Given that
Earth is weakened due to such circumstances, strong Fire is needed to
strengthen it.

Additional Earth is also needed as yet another favorable element, in

keeping strong Water Qi at bay. In addition, Metal should be avoided,
since it produces Water.

This Day Master’s Earth Qi is supported by the hidden Earth inside the
Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch; just as the Jia 甲 Wood at the Hour Pillar.
The Yin (Tiger) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches also form one of the Six
Combinations in producing Wood. But even though Water and Jia Wood
are strong, this Day Master still remains weak. Fire is needed to produce
and strengthen this Day Master. Wood should also be present, in order
to produce and ensure the continuity of Fire Qi.

Ding 丁 Fire lacks the strength of its Bing 丙 Fire counterpart, as a Useful
God. The Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch cannot be compared
to that of its Wu 午 (Horse) counterpart.

The Hai 亥 (Pig) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches combine to form
a partial Wood Structure - while Yi 乙 Wood is also revealed as the
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Nevertheless, strong Jia 甲 Wood is
preferred as a Useful God to this Day Master, since it helps produces
Fire. This Day Master remains isolated and weak; which is all the more
reason why strong Jia Wood should be present as a Useful God.

Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire should also be revealed in the Heavenly
Stems, too - since both transform Wood and strengthen this Day Master
accordingly. Although Metal keeps Wood under control, it weakens this
Day Master.

The Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month is a Wealth Star to this Day
Master. Meanwhile, Bing 丙 Fire is seated atop the Chen 辰 (Dragon)
Earthly Branch, in the Hour Pillar and causes Bing Fire to lose its shine
and brightness.

As such, where strong Fire - as well as Wood revealed in the Heavenly

Stems - is present, this Day Master shall be automatically warmed and
kept well-balanced.

This Day Master is prosperous in the presence of the Si 巳 (Snake)

Earthly Branch. And since Ding 丁 Fire is also present, this Day Master
will not be too cold. Nevertheless, the Si (Snake) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly
Branches clash with one another. And where Water Qi is strong, Fire Qi
is weak.

This is why the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch should also be present; since
it combines with the Hai (Pig) Earthly Branch - but does not clash with its
Si (Snake) counterpart. And with Fire and Earth Qi unencumbered, this
would allow this Day Master to hold its own against the strong Water
Qi.

This Day Master forms a Goat Blade Structure with the Wu 午 (Horse)
Earthly Branch. It is also supported by the Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stem of
the Hour Pillar - resulting in Earth Qi being warm and thick. This allows it
to withstand the onslaught of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month’s strong Water Qi.

It would be favorable to have each of the Five Elements present

in moderation, so that this Day Master may remain well-balanced.
Nevertheless, Metal and Water, in particular, should only be sparingly
present.

Earth Qi is weak in the winter. This is why it would be preferable to have

Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth present in abundance, as Useful Gods. As
such, the Earth Qi of the Ji Earth - Wei 未 (Goat) Hour Pillar supports this
Day Master. Although the Ding 丁 Fire Hidden Stem within the Wei (Goat)
Earthly Branch cannot really serve as a Useful God.

This would then allow it to hold its own against the strong Water Qi of
the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month - and allow this Day Master to employ Water as
a Useful God.

Nevertheless, an abundance of Water shall weaken and scatter this Day

Master. This is why Wood and Fire should be seen - and also penetrate
to the Heavenly Stems - in order to keep Metal and Water Qi under
control.

The combined Yang Metal Qi of the Geng 庚 Metal - Shen 申 (Monkey)

Hour Pillar is prosperous. Likewise, the Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stem
within the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch is also prosperous. This means
that strong Water Qi is also further strengthened by Metal; leading to an
overabundance of Water.

Since this Day Master is already very wet, only additional Earth Qi may
be suitably employed as a Useful God to counter the sickness brought
about by Water. In addition, only Fire may be used to provide warmth to
this Day Master. Where Water is further strengthened, though, a Super
Vibrant Structure may possibly be formed.

The combined Yin Metal Qi of the Xin 辛 Metal - You 酉 (Rooster) Hour
Pillar is prosperous. It also produces and further strengthens the Water
Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month - leading to an overabundance of Water. This
Day Master is hence countered and weakened by such cold Qi brought
about by Water - thereby resulting in its chances of survival being almost
non-existent.

This is why strong Fire - which is also revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- is needed to strengthen this Day Master accordingly and a Follow the
Wealth Structure may possibly be formed.

This Day Master is rooted in the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch. Meanwhile,

the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also prosperous,
due to the presence of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch. As such, this Day
Master and Water are both strong. Nevertheless, Water should not be
revealed in the Heavenly Stems.

Water shall counter and further weaken this Day Master. Furthermore,
Wood and Fire should also be present; since Wood weakens Water,
while Fire provides warmth to this Day Master - in allowing it to remain
well-balanced.

The presence of two Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches - as well as Gui 癸

Water Heavenly Stem in the Hour Pillar - results in an abundance of
Water Qi, while this Day Master is weakened. There is the risk that this
Day Master may become too cold, in the presence of so much Water.
It would hence be hard for this Day Master to withstand the onslaught
of strong Water Qi, unless thick Earth is available to keep Water under
control.

If there is no Fire Qi to provide this Day Master with much-needed

warmth, though, the latter’s chances of being produced and strengthened
are non-existent.

This Day Master is trapped or stuck, amidst the extremely cold Qi of

mid-winter. The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Month is at its peak - more so
in the combined presence of the Ren 壬 Water - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar.
Furthermore, the presence of additional Earth Qi would only result in Earth
becoming wet and muddy. Muddy Earth usually denotes sickness.

The Yin 寅 (Tiger), Si 巳 (Snake), Xu 戌 (Dog) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly

Branches should hence be present, so that Water Qi may be kept under
control. In other words, Fire and Earth remain this Day Master’s preferred
Useful Gods.

This Day Master is not without roots, in the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch.
Nevertheless, the Chou (Ox) Earthly Branch represents wet Earth - which
is why it still falls under the control of strong Water.

The Chou (Ox) Earthly Branch will find its Earth Qi transformed into
Water, in the presence of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch and its Gui 癸
Water Heavenly Stem.

Earth that harbors Fire Qi - or Wood that harbors Fire Qi - should

preferably be present as a Useful God to this otherwise muddy Day
Master. Fire Qi is needed to overcome the cold and wet condition. With
Fire and Earth Qi, this Day Master may be duly strengthened.

Gods may all be found within the Hidden Stems of the Yin (Tiger) Earthly
Branch, especially Bing 丙 Fire. This Day Master would be prosperous,
where strong Fire Qi is available to provide it with warmth.

The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Month is somewhat weakened by the

Wood Qi of the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch. This enhances this Day
Master’s chances of being produced and strengthened.

Where Fire and Earth are also met, this Day Master would be considered
stable and vibrant. The individual will enjoy tremendous success in life.
Where Metal and Water are instead seen in abundance, though, they
would destroy any favorable structure formed.

strong Wood clashes with this Day Master. In other words, where Wood
is strong, this Day Master is weak and fragile.

This is why Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth should be present in abundance,

as Useful Gods. It would be even better if Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁
Fire are also present, since Wood is weakened by Fire, which in turn,
produces and strengthens this Day Master.

The Zi 子 (Rat) and Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branches combine to form

a partial Water Structure. And given that this Day Master is already weak,
it would also be made colder, where it encounters additional Water Qi.
Unfortunately, the Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar lacks the
strength to provide this Day Master with warmth, since it is not rooted.

This Day Master should hence preferably be rooted - whilst avoiding

additional Water (Wealth) elements as well, especially when both are
present in strength.

In addition, it would be preferable to have the Yin 寅 (Tiger), Si 巳 (Snake),

Xu 戌 (Dog) or Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches present, in order to counter
and keep Water under control; as well as support and account for the
deficiency of Bing Fire and Wu 戊 Earth.

Nevertheless, only Fire remains a preferred Useful God, in providing

The Shen 申 (Monkey) and Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branches combine to form

Pillar also produces Water, leading to Water being very strong - with
Earth Qi thin and weak.

Under such circumstances, additional dry Earth Qi should preferably

be present to strengthen this Day Master; since it keeps the excessive
Water under control and allows this Day Master to remain healthy.

Where Metal is encountered, this Day Master would be further weakened.

As such, Fire is an indispensable Useful God in controlling Metal so as to
allow this Day Master to remain well-balanced.

The Yin Metal Qi of the Xin 辛 Metal - You 酉 (Rooster) Hour Pillar is

The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Month becomes even colder, being

becoming frozen - which is why Fire and additional Earth are urgently
needed, to keep Metal and Water under control.

It would be even better if Fire and Earth are present in abundance; since
this will heighten this Day Master’s chances of being supported and

This Day Master is supported by its storage in the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly

Branch. Meanwhile, the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar
forms a Goat Blade Structure with the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch. Although
Earth and Water are supposed to be equal in strength, this Day Master is
still unable to tolerate the coldness brought about by vibrant Water.

This is why strong Fire Qi - which should also be rooted - is needed,

accompanied by thick Earth, as Useful Gods in ensuring that this Day
Master remains well-balanced.

Otherwise, Water would be too strong and this would result in this Day
Master remaining weak. And under such circumstances, this Day Master
may be ironically afflicted by poverty in life - even if he or she were to
come from a rich family.

The Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) and Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branches belong to the

Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, Water Qi is further strengthened. This
Day Master is hence isolated and without help or support.

Water is hence this Day Master’s sickness; which is why Ji 己 Earth and
Wu 戊 Earth are the only preferred Medicating Useful Gods in overcoming
this condition. In other words, only Earth may be suitably employed as
a Useful God, under such circumstances. Where more Metal and Water
are encountered in the Heavenly Stems, though, this Day Master would

Where Bing 丙 Fire is revealed in the Heavenly Stems, it will help

revitalize this Day Master to a level equal to that of its counterpart born
in the spring.

In this month, Earth Qi is weak and wet. This also refers to the Earth
Qi of the Chou 丑 (Ox) Month. In addition, the Xin 辛 Metal and Gui 癸
Water Hidden Stems within the Chou (Ox) Earthly Branch indirectly helps
strengthen the Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch.

And since Earth is countered and trapped by abundance of Water, the

Yang Earth Qi (Wu 戊 Earth) of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch is hence
needed to keep Water Qi at bay.

Meanwhile, Fire, being an indispensable Regulating Useful God to this

Day Master, must not be missing.

Although the combined Earth Qi of the two Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches
present is supposed to support this Day Master, in actual fact, their Earth
Qi is wet and week. Hence Earth is unable to perform as Useful Gods.

The Xin 辛 Metal and Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stems within the Chou
(Ox) Earthly Branch - coupled with Gui Water also revealed as the
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - result in Water Qi becoming even
colder. This reduces this Day Master’s chances of being produced and
strengthened.

Fire, therefore, is an important Useful God in providing this Day Master

with warmth; while additional dry Earth is the Medicating Useful God
in countering the sickness brought about by Water. In fact, it would be
better to have both Fire and Earth present in abundance.

The Yang Wood Qi of the Jia 甲 Wood - Yin 寅 (Tiger) Hour Pillar results
in Fire Qi being produced and strengthened.

This Day Master is also strengthened by the presence of the Bing 丙 Fire
and Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stems within the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch. Jia
Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, being rooted in its Yin (Tiger)
Earthly Branch, also discreetly produces Fire.

Where Bing Fire and Ding 丁 Fire are also revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- together with Ren 壬 Water or Gui 癸 Water - this Day Master would be
able to enjoy an optimal quality of life.

Although this Day Master is rooted in the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch,
it is not strong. The Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is also
rooted in its Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch.

This weak Day Mastery is at risk of being uprooted by the excessive

Water.

The Day Master would not be able to hold its own against Wood. Strong
Wood Qi would counter and overcome this weak Day Master easily.
Under such circumstances, Fire remains an indispensable Regulating
Useful God; since it weakens Wood and also produces Earth.

The Yang Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch and Yin Earth
Qi of its Chou 丑 (Ox) counterpart support and strengthen this Day
Master.

Water hidden inside Chen (Dragon), makes the Earth Qi akin to wet mud.
This prevents this Day Master from being rooted, as well as produced
and strengthened accordingly.

The Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - being seated atop
the cold Earth Qi of its Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch - is weakened
consequently.

This causes Bing Fire to lose its effectiveness as a Useful God; which
is why more Wood and Fire are needed as Useful Gods - since Wood
produces Fire.

The combined Fire Qi of the Ding 丁 Fire - Si 巳 (Snake) Hour Pillar

provides this Day Master with much-needed warmth. The Fire Qi of the
Si (Snake) Earthly Branch is prosperous, while this Earthly Branch also
contains Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth amongst its Hidden Stems.

Nevertheless, it would be preferable to have this Day Master also seated

atop additional Earth Qi.

It should also avoid meeting additional Metal and Water Qi of the Shen 申
(Monkey) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches from weakening it.

Given that Fire is present in abundance while Water is ironically lacking,

though, there is no harm in using the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within
the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch as a Useful God. It would be even better
if Wood is available to produce Fire.

The two Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stems present are also firmly rooted in the
Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. This Day Master also forms a Goat Blade
Structure with the Wu (Horse) Earthly Branch, resulting in Earth Qi being
strong. And since the Fire Qi of this Earthly Branch also provides this Day
Master with warmth, it is not in danger of becoming too cold. Earth Qi is
already solid and strong.

This is why Jia 甲 Wood should preferably penetrate to the Heavenly

Stems as well, to loosen dense Earth. Where two Ding 丁 Fire elements
are also seen penetrating to the Heavenly Stems, Ren 壬 Water and Gui
癸 Water should also be present as Regulating Useful Gods.

The presence of heavy Earth brought about by the Ji 己 Earth - Wei 未

(Goat) Hour Pillar and Chou 丑 (Ox) Month results in this Day Master
being overly strong, to the extent of being immovable and stubborn.
Even though this Day Master, born in this time of the year is supposed to
weak, it is actually solidified instantly with this condition.

As such, Fire is an important Regulating Useful God in countering the

cold of the winter season. And where all four storages Earthly Branches
of Chen 辰 (Dragon), Xu 戌 (Dog), Chou (Ox) and Wei (Goat) happen to be
present - while Metal and Water are not revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- a Super Vibrant Earth Structure may possibly be formed.

Earth Qi is cold, this Month. Meanwhile, the combined Yang Metal Qi of

the Geng 庚 Metal - Shen 申 (Monkey) Hour Pillar remains strong. Since
the Chou 丑 (Ox) and Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branches also contain
Water amongst their Hidden Stems, Metal is hence cold while Water is
frozen. This also results in Wu 戊 Earth becoming a cold, freezing wet
mud unable to produce life.

This is why Fire is needed to keep Metal under control and bring
warmth and happiness into the chart. Additional Earth Qi should also be
present to support this Day Master. Where Fire and Earth are present in
abundance, this Day Master would indeed be duly Medicated and hence
able to be produced.

And with Xin 辛 Metal also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the

is a sickness to this Day Master - which is why Fire is an important
Medicating Useful God.

This should also be accompanied by additional strong Earth, as well as

The Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches - coupled
with the revealing of Gui 癸 Water as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar - belongs to the Northern Water formation. As such, where this
Day Master encounters strong Water, it is transformed into wet mud -
therefore reducing its chances of being produced and strengthened. This
does not denote a life of achievements.

The presence of another Wu 戊 Earth and Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stems -

as well as Xu 戌 (Dog) and Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branches - would allow
strong Water to be countered and kept under control.

The Ren 壬 Water and Gui Water Heavenly Stems as well as Shen 申

while the Water Qi of its Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch provides moisture to

It would also be preferable to have additional Fire Qi present in the

Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, so as to further strengthen this
Day Master. Additional Water and Metal Qi - especially in strength -
should be avoided.

The wet Earth Qi of the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch cannot support this
Day Master. In addition, the Yin Wood Qi of its Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem
also counters and weakens the Earth. Fire should preferably be present
to weaken Wood and to warm the Earth.

It would be even better if the Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) and Xu 戌 (Dog)
Earthly Branches are also present, since they also contain Fire amongst
their Hidden Stems.

Where Wood Qi is present in abundance, though, this Day Master would

be further weakened. As such, additional Water should also be avoided,
since it produces Wood and weakens the Earth Qi Day Master. This
denotes a life full of obstacles and misfortune.

Both Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branches contain a Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem.
Bing Fire is also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. As it
is still the first month of spring where the Qi is cold, Bing is preferred as
Useful God in providing warmth to this Day Master.

It would be also favorable to have some Water present to provide

moisture to this Day Master - or at least, Jia 甲 Wood and Yi 乙 Wood
to loosen up the Earth Qi. If this condition is met, this chart belongs a
person who will enjoy a prosperous and joyous life.

However, an overabundance of Metal and Water Qi would cause this Day

Master to go off-balance.

Ding 丁 Fire lacks the strength of Bing 丙 Fire, as a Regulating Useful

Ding Fire; allowing it to serve and protect this weak Day Master as a

There would be no harm for this Day Master encountering Fire Qi in

abundance. This Day Master however, would only be an average one,
where abundant Water Qi is present to counter Fire in the BaZi Chart.

It would be highly unfavorable for this Day Master to further meet with
strong Metal and Water Qi.

needed to bring vitality back to a cold chart.

Where Water and Fire are both present, can be treated as Useful Gods to
this Day Master, in allowing it to remain vibrant, healthy and strong.

Where additional Water and Wood Qi are also present in the Heavenly

However, where abundant Fire Qi is found, the Earth Day Master would

The Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches also contain Fire
and Earth Qi amongst their Hidden Stems. These serve to strengthen the
otherwise weak Day Master.

It would be ideal to have Xin 辛 Metal to stimulate this Day Master to

a certain extent. Metal is the output element and serves to plow the
Earth and makes it useful. The chart would be even better if both Metal
and Water Qi are present. This denotes the Earth is rich and the land is
fertile.

Where Jia 甲 Wood and Yi 乙 Wood are revealed in the Heavenly Stems,
this Day Master would enjoy a great life.

But where Fire and Earth happen to be present in abundance and

strength, this Day Master may find it difficult to become wealthy in life.

The Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar dampens the quality
of Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem within the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch.

Since the Geng 庚 Metal Hidden Stem within the Shen 申 (Monkey)
Earthly Branch also clashes with the Wood Qi of the Yin (Tiger) Earthly
Branch, both Ren 壬 Water and Geng Metal are not regarded as favorable
for this chart.

Additional Wu 戊 Earth is needed to keep Ren Water under control; or the

Fire Qi of the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch is needed to combine with the
Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch, in forming a partial Fire Structure.

With this Fire Qi, this Day Master will be able to revitalize and rejuvenate.
Where this conditions is met, the chart will belong to a person who is
determined and focused. He/she will attain success in life despite the
odds.

Where Water Qi overflows, this Day Master may be at risk of having to

lead a lonely and miserable life as Water disperses the Earth.

Where much Water is present, it is favorable to have Fire and Earth

present in abundance as Useful Gods.

This Ji 己 Earth Day Master is naturally weakened by the Metal Qi of

the You 酉 (Rooster) in the Hour Branch and the Wood Qi of the Tiger
month.

Gui 癸 Water is favorable for this Day Master as it provides moisture

to the otherwise dry Earth. Fire is needed to provide the chart with
warmth.

Metal and Water Qi must not be present in overabundance in the chart.

It would be good if Fire is available to keep the Wood Qi under control.
Otherwise, this Day Master would be weak due to the presence of strong
Wood Qi as it is still the spring month where Wood is the strongest.

The Xu 戌 (Dog) and Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branches both contain Fire
amongst their Hidden Stems. But since the Jia 甲 Wood Heavenly Stem
of the Hour Pillar also produces Fire Qi, Water is needed to provide
moisture and keep Fire under control. It would be unfavorable where Fire
and Earth are present in overabundance - since this would result in this
Day Master being too strong, dense and thick, while Water - an important
Useful God - remains missing.

It is preferred to have both Metal and Water Qi in this chart.

The Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches contain Wood
amongst their Hidden Stems. Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar is also strong this month. This is why Fire is needed to weaken and
keep Wood under control - as well as produce and strengthen this cold
Ji 己 Earth Day Master.

Xin 辛 Metal during this time lacks the strength to counter and keep such
strong Wood Qi under control. It would be better if Geng 庚 Metal is also
revealed in the Heavenly Stems, and combines with the Yi Wood to form
Metal Qi. This will improve the quality of the Day Master.

Regardless of whether Geng Metal or Xin Metal is used as a Useful God,

it would desirable if they are rooted. Where they are not rooted, the metal
Qi is futile against wood this month.

In addition, Water and Wood should not be present in overabundance as

this will only weaken and destroy the otherwise weak Day Master.

Since the Yang Qi is strong this month, Jia 甲 Wood is the preferred Useful
God to produce Fire. The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch will
provide moisture to Ji 己 Earth Day Master, preventing it from becoming
hard and dry. It would be even better if the Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem is
also present to provide warmth and vitality to the chart.

Although the Jia Wood and Ji Earth Heavenly Stems combine with one
another, the strong Wood Qi of the month prevents the combination from
transforming into Earth Qi.

Therefore, for this Day Master to remain well-balanced, some Metal is

needed. This is to ensure that Earth is loose and healthy. A little bit of
Water should also be sufficiently present, acting as a favor God.

The Ji 己 Earth Day Master’s Qi is stored within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly
Branch and the Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is strong.
With Fire present anywhere in the chart, it would be regarded as the
needed element to bring warmth and life to the Ji Earth Day Master. If
this condition is met, success and happiness in life awaits.

Fire is therefore the preferred Useful God in keeping Yi Wood under

control. Metal, in small amounts, should at least be present to keep the
Earth loose and lively.

It would be even better if a little Water is also present to provide moisture

to Ji Earth Day Master but not too much as to dampen the quality of this
Day Master since Fire is the primary Useful God.

It would also be preferable to have Metal and Water present as Favorable

Where Jia 甲 Wood and Yi Wood are also revealed in the Heavenly

Ding 丁 Fire is an indispensable Useful God to this Day Master - while

Gui 癸 Water and Ren 壬 Water should be avoided. This is because Ren
Water combines important Ding Fire away. Strong Water should also not
be present amongst the Earthly Branches.

Metal is the preferred Useful God, since it counters Wood and keeps Yi
乙 Wood under control. However, if Water already happens to be present
in abundance, Metal would prove to be unworthy.

no harm in having Metal and Water both present in the BaZi Chart.

Where only Metal is present but Water missing - or Fire is seen weakening
Yi 乙 Wood - there is a risk that Yi Wood shall be unduly weakened, while
Wu 戊 Earth becomes overly strong.

If more Earth is seen, this Day Master may be compelled to lead a life full

The You 酉 (Rooster) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches clash with
one another. The Gui 癸 Water Heavenly Stem is therefore needed to
help arbitrate this clash - to, at the same time, produce and strengthens
the Wood Qi of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch - as well as serve as the

The quality of the BaZi Chart is greatly determined by the presence

or absence of Fire, as a Useful God. Where Fire is present but does
not clash with Gui Water, this Day Master would be able to enjoy a
successful life despite the odds.

Should Fire happen to be missing - the quality of life for this Day Master
diminishes. This person may only be able to lead an average or mediocre

The Hai 亥 (Pig) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches combine to form a

Where Yi Wood is overly strong, Fire or Metal should be employed as

Useful Gods, in keeping Yi Wood under control.

Where Fire and Metal are both present, Fire should be taken as a primary
Useful God in transforming Yi Wood’s Qi from negative to positive for

Given that Fire and Earth are both present through the Ji 己 Earth - Si
巳 (Snake) Hour Pillar- Metal, Water and Wood are needed as Regulating
Useful Gods.

Where Water and Wood are both present in strength, this Day Master
shall belong to a person who will be noble and prosperous.

If Fire is present in strength, Earth will burn easily. Where additional Earth
is present in abundance, this Day Master may be afflicted by poverty in
life.

This Day Master is strong and prosperous, in the presence of the Wu

午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. As such, Geng 庚 Metal remains a preferred
Useful God in weakening, revitalizing and keeping this Day Master well-
balanced.

However, if Water also happens to be present in the Heavenly Stems and

Earthly Branches, the overall structure of the BaZi Chart would be clear
and pleasant. This is most ideal.

Although Wood is also preferred to loosen the thick and dense Earth, it
should not be in a position that clash with Metal.

Where additional Earth Qi is present in abundance, this Day Master may

possess a stubborn and gloomy personality. As such, the presence of
Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is the preferred choice for
Useful God as it helps weakens the thick Earth Qi. There is a need to
avoid encountering more Fire and Earth Qi in the chart.

Metal and Water make good Favorable Gods for the chart. Although
Wood, ideally, is supposed to control Earth, it lacks the strength to do
so alone.

Xin 辛 Metal remains a preferred Useful God in keeping Earth under

control. Unless Water and Wood are both present in strength, Wood
cannot really serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

The Shen 申 (Monkey) and Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branches contain

Water amongst their Hidden Stems. With Ren 壬 Water also revealed as
the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, Water Qi features prominently -
while this Day Master becomes wet.

Fire and Earth are needed to overcome the wetness brought about by
strong Water. Where only Fire is available, it cannot counter and keep
Water under control. This is because Water, being very strong, will
extinguish and weaken Fire Qi.

Hour. Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch serves as storage for Water Qi
and Gui 癸 Water also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar
- this means Metal and Water Qi are very strong in this chart - and it
weakens this Day Master.

Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth remain as the preferred Useful Gods to this
Day Master.

Si 巳 (Snake), Wu 午 (Horse) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches should

preferably be present as well. But since Wood counters the weak Earth
Qi, it is undesirable to have in the chart.

The Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch serves as storage for Fire Qi. Since the

Earth Qi will feature dominantly. As such, Water and Fire remain preferred
Useful Gods in providing moisture and warmth to this Day Master.

Metal should not be present in abundance; since it weakens this Day

Master. Should Jia Wood and Ji 己 Earth fail to combine and transform
into Earth, Metal and Wood remain indispensable Useful Gods to this
Day Master.

The Qi of the Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is stored

within the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch. It is also produced and
strengthened by the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch.

Fire is the preferred choice needed to keep the strong Wood under
control. This is because although Metal does counter Wood, it also
weakens this Day Master. As such, Metal has both its advantages and
disadvantages, if employed as a Useful God.

Since Fire is strong this month, Gui 癸 Water is naturally the preferred
Useful God, in providing moisture to this Day Master. However, the Water
Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch is insufficient to do so. This is why the
Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch should also be present
- or any other Earthly Branch that stores Metal or Water Qi.

Where Geng 庚 Metal is present but Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water
missing, it would be unfavorable to this Day Master. This is because
Geng Metal clashes with and weakens Jia Wood.

Where You 酉 (Rooster) - if present - and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches

will combine to form a partial Metal Structure. This would result in
Wood being controlled and weakened. This would cause it to lose its
effectiveness in weakening the dense Earth Qi.

As such, Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water should also be revealed in the
Heavenly Stems - or at least have the Hai 亥 (Pig) and Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly
Branches present - to weaken Metal.

Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire are not preferred as Useful Gods since will

The presence of the Wu 戊 Earth - Chen 辰 (Dragon) Hour Pillar means

that Wu Earth is very heavy and dense - and may burden this Day
Master.

The Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch
is weak and unable to serve independently as a Useful God. As such,
Metal is needed to produce and strengthen Water. Shen 申 (Monkey) and
Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branches should at least be present to energize
Water, the Useful God.

Another alternative would be to have the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch

present, since it stores Water Qi - or the Shen (Monkey) and Chen
(Dragon) Earthly Branches combining to form a partial Water Structure.

both would find it difficult to serve as Useful Gods for this Day Master.

Gui 癸 Water is preferred to Ren 壬 Water as a Useful God - although

Gui Water should not further encounter Fire and Earth stars, since both
will dry it up.

Yi 乙 Wood, if present, also lacks the strength to loosen Earth - although

this will not affect the overall quality of the BaZi Chart.

Where the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch is also present and combines
with Si (Snake), it would be unfavorable to this Day Master.

As such, both Wood and Fire must be present, in order for this Day

Water is needed to provide moisture to this Day Master.

Ren 壬 Water, Gui 癸 Water and the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) and Zi 子

Even with Water present, Metal must also be available to produce and
ensure the continuity of Water Qi - so that this Day Master will not

Wood Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch, and Fire Qi of the Wu 午
(Horse) Earthly Branch.

Yin (Tiger) and Wu (Horse) Earthly Branches combine to form a partial

Fire Structure; resulting in this Day Master being scorched by hot fire.
With either only Metal or Water present, this Day Master will not remain
well-balanced.

It is only when both Metal and Water are present - or wet Earth Qi is
present in the Earthly Branches -this Day Master would be able to remain
well-balanced.

Where Wood is available and produces Fire, it would be highly

unfavorable to this Day Master.

The Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is prosperous, due to
the presence of the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch. The Wood Qi of the
Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch produces even more Fire, and hence
make this element very strong.

As such, where Water is present but Metal missing, this Day Master
would not be able to remain well-balanced.

Both Metal and Water should never be parted from one another in this
chart. Where Wood and Fire are also present in strength, wet Earth - in
abundance - remains an indispensable Useful God.

Should the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chen 辰 (Dragon)
Earthly Branch reveals in the Heavenly Stem, Water may serve as a
Useful God to this Day Master.

Where Metal is also seen, Water Qi will be strong and lasting. It would
not be favorable to this Day Master, to have Earth present in abundance
as Earth counters and weakens Water.

Wood remains a preferred Useful God in loosening Earth. Where Wood

Qi remains clear and strong, this Day Master would be a prosperous and
enjoys a good life.

The combined Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) and Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly

Branches dry up and scorches this Day Master. As such, Gui 癸 Water is
preferred to Ren 壬 Water, as a Useful God in providing moisture.

However, Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch lacks the

strength of its Shen 申 (Monkey) counterpart.

It would be favorable to have Geng 庚 Metal and Xin 辛 Metal also

revealed in the Heavenly Stems. But since Wood produces and
strengthens Fire, it should only be minimally present.

The combined Fire Qi of the two Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branches would

result in Geng 庚 Metal being melted away. As such, Water remains the
Useful God in providing moisture to both Metal and this Day Master.

The Water Qi of Ren 壬 and Gui 癸 in the Heavenly Stems alone cannot
equal the strength of the Water Qi brought about by the Hai 亥 (Pig) and
Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branches.

The wet Earth Qi of the Chou 丑 (Ox) and Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly
Branches can help cool down the Fire, and as such, they should
preferably be present as well.

This Day Master is prosperous in the presence of the Wu 午 (Horse)

Earthly Branch. But since the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch also contains
Ji 己 Earth and Ding 丁 Fire as its Hidden Stems, this Day Master is
invariably parched and dry.

Even the Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is unable to serve
as Useful God; which is why both Metal and Water Qi should be present
in abundance as this Day Master Useful Gods.

Additional Fire and Earth should only be minimally present - if at all.

The Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar provides moisture to
this Day Master. Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) weakens Earth; and
serves as a Medicating Useful God to this otherwise dry Day Master.
Where Wood is also seen loosening Earth, this Day Master would
become wealthy and prosperous in life.

Where Metal and Water co-exist in harmony, in ensuring this Day Master
remains well-balanced, this also denotes a happy and fulfilled life.

However, this Day Master may only be able to lead an average, mediocre
life - should Fire and Earth happen to be present in abundance.

The Gui 癸 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar serves as a Useful
God to this Day Master. Although the Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster)
Earthly Branch produces Water, it also weakens this Day Master but still
can serve as a Useful God since it produces Gui Water.

Where Wood and Fire are also revealed in the Heavenly Stems, this Day
Master will achieve enormous status and power in life.

However, this Day Master should avoid encountering the dry Earth Qi of
the Xu 戌 (Dog) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches.

The Jia 甲 Wood tends to combine with the Ji 己 Earth Day master and
forces a transformation into Earth. The Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch
facilitates this transformation.

The dry Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch combines with the Fire
Qi of its Wu 午 (Horse) counterpart in forming a partial Fire Structure.

As such, Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water - as well as the Hai 亥 (Pig) and
Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branches - should be present to keep such strong Fire
Qi under control.

Where Water is present but Metal missing, this Day Master may still
enjoy fame and reputation in life -although may never really prosper
financially.

the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch.

Where Geng 庚 Metal and Xin 辛 Metal - as well as Shen 申 (Monkey)

Wealth element.

This Day Master’s fortunes in life will not be affected as long as the Metal
do not directly clash with Yi Wood.

Otherwise, the wet Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Chou 丑 (Ox)

to 22nd. As such, Wood is needed to loosen Earth, with Water to provide

Jia 甲 Wood - Zi 子 (Rat) Hour Pillar comes in handy; as it brings wet

Wood into the picture.

Metal still remains the preferred Useful God, in producing Water.

Additional Earth Qi is undesirable.

Earth is already strong - which is why additional Fire is not needed to

produce and further strengthen this Day Master.

In order to avoid a situation akin to the mother being strong at the

expense of the son, Metal, Water and Wood Qi remain preferred Useful
Gods to this Day Master.

Where Fire and Earth are encountered, a Super Vibrant Structure may be
formed. For this to happen, then there is a need to avoid having Water
and Wood to be minimally present - or this Day Master may be afflicted
by poverty in life and even susceptible to poor health; particularly kidney-

The Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches combine to form

loosened and ventilated by Wood.

Wood should preferably only be present in the Year and Month Pillars.
There is also the need to avoid meeting Metal and Fire Qi, since they
counter and weaken Wood.

If Yi 乙 Wood and Gui 癸 Water are also revealed in the Heavenly Stems
this person will be blessed with fame and authority in life, but may not
necessarily be wealthy.

Where Water and Wood are both missing - especially from the Year and

Earth Qi shall become very strong. This is undesirable and it denotes a

this Day Master is even more prosperous if Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch

formed.

However, if Water and Wood also happen to be present in the Heavenly

Stems and Earthly Branches of the Year and Month Pillars, Wood then

Master would only be an average achiever in life.

This Day Master should avoid encountering Jia 甲 Wood and additional
Fire Qi in the chart. Yi 乙 Wood on the other hand is harmless as it serves
to loosen the Earth rather than effectively produce Fire.

Additional Earth Qi should not be present at all.

Where Water is available in the Month and Year Pillars to keep Fire under
control, this Day Master will enjoy a happy and meaningful life.

If Fire is also revealed in the Heavenly Stems, there would be no use for
Xin Metal. Under such circumstances, Water should be employed over
Metal, as a Useful God.

Although this Day Master is strong, its condition is also dry and parched.
As such Water remains the preferred Useful God in providing it with
moisture.

Ren 壬 Water - being seated atop the Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey)
Earthly Branch in the Hour Pillar - is continuously produced and
strengthened. Water Qi is strong and prosperous, due to Metal being
present. This is favorable.

Ji 己 Earth and Wu 戊 Earth - if present - may counter and weaken Water.

This is why Metal remains a preferred Useful God, in producing and

Fire blazes and is very strong, in the summer. As such, Water is a

preferred Useful God in providing this Day Master with moisture; while
Metal is also needed to produce and ensure the continuity of Water.

Where the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is also present, the Gui 癸
Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar will produce and strengthen the
Wood Qi.

Where the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) and You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branches clash
with one another, Metal and Water remain preferred Useful Gods to this
Day Master, in keeping it well-balanced.

The Qi of the Jia 甲 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is rooted

Although the Jia Wood and Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems supposedly

combine, their dry condition does not allow them to do so to produce
more Earth.

Unless the Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly
Branches is also present, Earth would be shaken or weakened, where
a Clash or Punishment takes place between the Earthly Branches. This
would result in the quality of Earth being reduced and damaged. To avert
such a situation, Metal and Water should be present in the Year and

The Yi 乙 Wood Hidden Stem within the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch is
revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar.

The Hai 亥 (Pig) and Wei (Goat) Earthly Branches also combine to form
a partial Wood Structure - supporting and strengthening Yi Wood. This
allows Wood to loosen strong Earth; therefore making Earth productive.

It would be even better if Water and Wood are present as Useful Gods.
Where Fire is seen in the chart, Yi Wood shall produce and strengthen it
- although Fire should not be made overly strong. Hence Water is needed
to keep the balance.

It is desirable to have a minimal presence of Metal, if possible. This is to

ensure the continuity of Water.

This Day Master is weakened this month. Where Metal is strong, Water
Qi is also strong. The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch is also
rooted.

The Zi (Rat) and Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branches combine to form a

partial Water Structure - resulting in Metal being transformed into Water,
which in turn, produces Jia 甲 Wood.

This means Fire must be present - otherwise, an abundance of Water

would result in this Day Master being further weakened.

Additional Earth should also be available, as a secondary Useful God

keeping Water under control and to avoid encountering Metal and
Water.

Yi 乙 Wood is revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. If there

is no Fire to produce and strengthen this Day Master, the Earth may
crumple.

Even if Fire is available, it must be accompanied with Gui 癸 Water as a

Useful God.

If Water, Yi 乙 Wood and Fire all feature prominently, this Day Master
would be ably kept well-balanced. Where such conditions are met, this
person will enjoy a prosperous, long and joyous life.

The Bing 丙 Fire in the Hour Pillar - being seated atop the Wood Qi of
its Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch - is strengthened. Where Gui 癸 Water is
also revealed in the Heavenly Stems, it would be able to also serve as
a Useful God to this Day Master. These two stems help bring warmth,
vitality and moist to the otherwise weakening Earth.

Although the Yin (Tiger) and Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branches clash
with each other, Gui 癸 Water is able to arbitrate the clash and at the
same time produce Wood while weakening Metal. This prevents Metal
from hurting Wood.

The Yin Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch of the Hour Pillar
is weakened by its Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly Stem,. This means the wood
cannot help loosen the Earth. Ding Fire is on the other hand, very strong
and strengthens the Earth.

Where Water is also present in the Heavenly Stems, it will weaken strong
Metal Qi while producing Yi 乙 Wood. This is the desirable element.

Where Water is also present, Geng Metal will be kept under control. It
would be even better if Water and Fire are both present as Useful Gods;
so that this Day Master may remain strong, independent and stable -
without any negative Useful Gods to avoid.

being duly supported by the Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly
Branch. It would be better to have Xin Metal strong - as a Useful God -
than Water and Wood.

Where Water and Earth are also present, serving as Regulating Useful
Gods, this Day Master will certainly enjoy a prosperous and healthy life.

Bing 丙 Fire is also needed as Useful God since it also keeps excessive

Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, in order to keep Metal under
control.

The Metal Qi of both Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branches is still needed, to

produce Ren 壬 Water.

But if Water is too strong, Fire alone may not be able to counter it. As
such, even if Fire is present, Earth is still needed to keep Ren Water
under control.

Where Metal and Water are present - but Fire and Earth missing - a

Although the Jia 甲 Wood and Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems combine with
one another to produce Earth, this Day Master still remains weak.

Where Earth is weak, it will be easily countered and hurt by other stronger
elements. In order for Jia Wood to combine with Ji Earth and transform
into Earth, it cannot be directly taken as a Useful God.

The Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch lacks the strength to

capably support this Day Master. As such, it would be favorable to this
Day Master to have Bing 丙 Fire as its Useful God.

Where Fire is available to produce Earth - with Water to provide moisture

and counter Earth’s dry condition - this person will enjoy fame and
fortune.

Yi 乙 Wood is not a preferred Useful God for this weak Day Master. And
because Metal is used to produce the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly
Branch, it will not counter and affect Yi Wood. Metal is too pre-occupied
producing Water - that it actually forgoes clashing with Wood.

Fire is therefore the preferred choice. Fire is needed to produce and

strengthen Earth in order to produce Metal and Water. As such, Fire is a
multi-purpose Useful God.

This Day Master is weakened by the Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster)

Month. As such, the Jia 甲 Wood Heavenly Stem and Water Qi of the
Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch in the Hour Pillar should not be employed as
Useful Gods to this Day Master, since it cannot handle such strong Wood
and Water Qi.

It would be ideal to have the Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire present in
the Heavenly Stems. Fire would help produce and strengthen this Day
Master. It would then be able to employ Water and Jia Wood as its Useful
Gods.

There is also the need to avoid encountering Geng 庚 Metal, since it

further weakens this Day Master. Things would be worse, if Fire is also
missing as a Useful God.

Both Water and Fire should be present so that the simultaneous

presence of Earth and Water would allow this Day Master to remain

remains a preferred Useful God, in producing and strengthening this Day
Master.

Ding Fire is seated atop the Wood Qi of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch
in the Hour Pillar, would be strong enough to produce and ensure the
continuity of Ji 己 Earth.

However, Yin Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is rapidly

weakening in Qi and is unable to help loosen the Earth. If additional Earth
is available - in the Year and Month Pillars - to produce Xin 辛 Metal, then
there would be no harm in having Metal and Fire present.

With Geng 庚 Metal as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, both Earth

Where Jia 甲 Wood is not present in the BaZi Chart but Fire is, this Day
Master would possess an artistic flair in life. Earth and Metal should

A strong Day Master may take Water as a Useful God - although a weak
Day Master should avoid encountering additional Water. This is because
Water hurts Fire; thereby reducing this Day Master’s chances of being
produced and strengthened.

However, additional Wood and Fire must not be present. This is because
for Xin Metal to remain strong, it must not encounter and be weakened
by these two element.

Where Wood is present and rooted, both Jia 甲 Wood and Yi 乙

Wood may be taken as Useful Gods to this Day Master. Under such
circumstances, it should not be countered and weakened by Fire as it
weakens its effectiveness as a Useful God.

Strong Metal producing strong Water would result in this Day Master

This weak Day Master cannot withstand the onslaught of strong Metal

accordingly. In addition, Earth should also be present to support this Day
Master.

Where Metal and Water are present in abundance, a Follow the Wealth
Structure may possibly be formed. Under such circumstances, Fire and
Earth should not be present at all. Otherwise, this would result in Water
Qi being scattered.

produces and strengthens Gui 癸 Water - resulting in Metal and Water
being vibrant in this chart.

In order to strengthen this Day Master, Fire should also be present in the
Year and Month Pillars, so that Ji 己 Earth may be duly supported. As
such, Water can then be employed as a Useful God, provided Fire is not
present in overabundance.

In addition, the presence of Ji Earth and Wu 戊 Earth would counter

and weaken Water as a Useful God. But if Metal is strong, then this Day
Master need not worry about the presence of additional Earth; since
Metal weakens and keeps Earth under control.

Jia 甲 Wood cannot serve as a Useful God to this Day Master as the
Earth is weak. Fire is still needed to produce and strengthen Earth; so
that this Day Master would not be totally devoid of strength.

It would also be preferable to have Geng 庚 Metal - accompanied by

The Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch weakens this

Day Master. As such, Fire is needed to produce and strengthen this
Day Master. If Fire is also available in the Year and Month Pillars, this
Day Master would be duly supported and revitalised. This would also
enhance Yi 乙 Wood’s chances of being produced and grown.

The Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch also produces and
strengthens its Yi Wood Heavenly Stem, in the Hour Pillar - thereby
allowing Yi Wood to serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

This Day Master is strong because the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch stores
both Fire and Earth Qi.

As such, even though Fire may be missing in the Stems, the Jia 甲 Wood
Heavenly Stem and Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch of the Hour
Pillar may still be employed as Useful Gods.

Although Metal can also be used, it is not a preferred Useful God.

This Day Master’s Qi is stored within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch.

Both Yi 乙 Wood and Ji 己 Earth are weak in this chart. Given that it is
almost winter, Wood cannot grow or be produced. Earth is thick - while
Wood remains brittle and weak.

Water and Wood must be present in abundance in order for Yi Wood to

serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

Where Wood is present but Water missing, Yi Wood may not be taken
as a Useful God. It would also be preferable to have Metal present in the
chart as well.

The Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - being seated atop

strengthened accordingly.

Yin (Tiger) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches also combine to form a

partial Fire Structure, helping Fire to burn even more; resulting in Fire
being strong while Earth becoming dry.

As such, only Water - revealed in the Heavenly Stems - may be used to

neutralize and keep such strong Fire Qi under control. It would be even
better if Metal accompanies Water, as Useful Gods. Excessive Wood,
Fire and Earth should be avoided, however.

revealed as the Heavenly stem of the Hour Pillar. Although the Mao 卯
(Rabbit) Earthly Branch represents Wood Qi, it combines with its Xu 戌
(Dog) counterpart, in forming Fire. As such, Fire - being overly strong - is
a sickness to this Day Master, while Water then become its Medicating
Useful God.

Where additional Wood is also present, it would produce and strengthen

Fire. Where additional Earth is seen, this Day Master would be duly
supported and remain strong and independent.

For this Day Master to remain well-balanced, Metal and Water must also
be present as Useful Gods.

The clash between the Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly

supporting it, this Day Master would be a too strong and hard. This is
not ideal.

As such, Wood Qi is needed to loosen the strong Earth - with Water to

produce and ensure the continuity of Wood.

It would be preferable to have Earth - being very strong - loosened and

weakened. It would be even better if Metal and Water are also present
to assist this condition. Where conditions are met, this Day Master may
prosper and enjoy a great life.

The presence of two Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems means that this Day
Master is not lonely or isolated. It is also produced and strengthened by
the Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch, as well as supported by
the Yang Earth Qi of the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch. Earth Qi is strong,
which, by extension means the Metal Qi is also strong.

The Si (Snake) Earthly Branch also contains Geng 庚 Metal amongst its
Hidden Stems, while the Xu (Dog) Earthly Branch contains Xin 辛 Metal
amongst its Hidden Stems.

Only Geng Metal or Xin Metal need to be revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- with Water to provide moisture for this Day Master to become noble
and wealthy in life.

Although Earth and Geng 庚 Metal are both strong, the combination

is forming a partial Fire Structure. This actually melts Metal.

As such, Fire is a sickness to this Day Master. Unless Water is also

present in abundance, it would be impossible to keep Fire Qi under
control and protect Geng Metal.

It would also be preferable to have water to keep the excessive Fire

under control and to moisten the Earth.

The Xin 辛 Metal Hidden Stem within the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch
is revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. This Day Master is
supported by the combined Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) and Xu (Dog)
Earthly Branches.

Since Xin Metal is strong, Wu 戊 Earth , if present, can be taken as Useful

God.

The Wei (Goat) and Xu (Dog) Earthly Branches also contain Ding 丁 Fire
within their Hidden Stems.

As such, Water must also be present to keep Ding excessive Fire under
control - and prevent it from becoming too strong and troubling this Day

Where this Day Master is strong, it would have no problem handling

Water. The Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - being seated
atop the Metal Qi of its Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch - is produced
and strengthened. This means Water Qi is strong and smooth-flowing.
This is ideal.

Wood should be avoided, since it weakens Ren Water. Only Metal

remains the preferred Useful God in producing and ensuring the
continuity of Water Qi - so that this Day Master may achieve success

It is already winter and cold -that this Day Master simply cannot be

Master may be compelled to lead a life of poverty and misery.

Even the Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch - if present - coupled

stand up to the strong Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month.

Although Jia 甲 Wood is revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar,
the absence of Bing Fire and Ding 丁 Fire would not allow Jia Wood to
serve as a Useful God to this Day Master.

Fire and Earth must also be present in abundance; otherwise, it would

Branches to be kept under control, and warmth provided to this Day
Master.

Earth is weak while Water is strong and without Bing 丙 Fire as a Useful

and strengthened by Wood Qi.

Where Fire is missing or absent, this Day Master’s chances of being

The Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch produces and

Structure. Wood helps the much needed Fire to be made stronger.

Metal and Water should be avoided - although there would be no harm

This Day Master is supported by the combined Earth Qi of the Wu 戊

Earth - Chen 辰 (Dragon) Hour Pillar.

But since the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Month is strong, both this
Day Master and Water Qi are strong. This is because the Chen (Dragon)
Earthly Branch represents Yang Earth Qi, which also serves as storage
for Xin 辛 Metal and Ren 壬 Water Qi.

Due to the time of the year, Fire remains an indispensable Useful God
in countering the cold of the winter season. Fire also produces and
thickens Earth.

If this Day Master is weak, Wu Earth may also be employed as a Useful

God in strengthening it. Wood, Metal and Water should be avoided.

Water is strong while this Day Master is weak. The Geng 庚 Metal
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar produces Water - while the Fire Qi of
its Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch produces and strengthens this Day
Master. Although this results in a zero-gain situation, Earth simply cannot
compare to Water, in strength.

As such, it would be favorable to have additional Fire present in the

Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. Likewise, Earth should preferably
be present as well to support this Day Master.

There is really no difference in having Wood either present or absent, as a

Useful God. But since Water Qi is already strong, this Day Master should
avoid encountering more Water.

Water is strong and cold, more so where the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch
encounters the Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Although
the Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Hour supposedly supports this Day
Master, the combination between the Hai (Pig) and Wei (Goat) Earthly
Branches in forming a partial Wood Structure would result in Wood
clashing with and further weakening this Day Master.

As such, Fire must also be revealed as the Heavenly Stems of the Year
and Month Pillars; so that Wood can be channeled towards producing
Fire, instead of clashing with Earth.

Fire needs to be rooted as this would enhance this Day Master’s chances
of being produced and strengthened.

Ji 己 Earth is wet, given the prosperous Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig)

Month. The Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch of the Hour
Pillar also produces and strengthens its Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem.

This results in both Water and Metal being cold, while this Day Master
does not stand a chance of being produced and strengthened. Where
Water is also present in the Year and Month Pillars, a Follow the Wealth

Bing 丙 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth must be present as Useful Gods; in order

for this Day Master to remain well-balanced.

In the presence of the Gui 癸 Water - You 酉 (Rooster) Hour Pillar,

Water Qi becomes even colder and stronger. Given Ji 己 Earth Day
Master extremely weak condition, Fire must be present to produce and
strengthen it. Fire also counters the cold of the winter season.

Additional Earth should preferably be present as well, to support this

Day Master. Fire produces Earth - but in the absence of the Fire, Earth
Qi would be dead.

The presence of Fire plays a pivotal role in determining this Day Master’s
strength and fortunes in life.

also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar; resulting in both
Water and Wood both being strong. The Ding 丁 Fire and Wu 戊 Earth
Hidden Stems within the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch helps (a little) in

Hence, additional Fire must also be present in the Heavenly Stems, in

Jia Wood produces and strengthens Fire, thereby allowing this Day
Master to also remain well-balanced. And since Jia Wood loosens Ji 己
Earth - while Fire produces it - this Day Master would then be able to

The Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch produces and ensures the
continuity of Wood Qi. Its Ren 壬 Water and Jia 甲 Wood Hidden Stems -
coupled with Yi 乙 Wood also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar - means that Water and Wood both clash with one another.

Given that this Day Master is very weak, it cannot be further clashed
and weakened by Water. As such, Water should be channeled towards
producing Wood. This Day Master remains threatened by the Yi Wood
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar.

Although Metal produces Water, it should still be present, in order to

keep Yi Wood under control. Fire and Earth remain indispensable Useful
Gods in ensuring that this Day Master remains well-balanced.

Ji 己 Earth Qi is completely weak. The advent of the Zi 子 (Rat) Month

and Hour means that Water Qi is very strong and cold. This results in
Ji Earth being soaked, and transformed into cold mud. Although Jia
甲 Wood is supposed to be strong Wood, it is also flooded by Water
-therefore the non-existent chances of survival.

As such, Bing 丙 Fire is an indispensable Useful God, since its presence

or absence determines this Day Master’s survivability. This is because
Bing Fire - being akin to the sun - counters the coldness of Water, as well
as dries Ji Earth. Then and only then will Jia Wood be able to grow.

In addition, there is also the need to avoid having Metal and Water
present in abundance.

Day Master remains isolated and weak. As such, Bing 丙 Fire is needed
as a Useful God.

The Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar also produces and

Where Bing Fire is present, there would be no need to avoid Wood - only
Water.

Since it is still very cold and dark at this time of the year, Metal should
be avoided.

Where Fire and Earth are also present throughout the BaZi Chart, this
Day Master would be further strengthened and enjoys a prosperous life.

There would be no harm in having Metal and Water present. Problems

would only arise should Metal and Water happen to be present in
abundance; since this Day Master would then lack the strength to
withstand the strong Metal and Water.

Heavenly Stems of the Year and Month Pillars; so that both can counter
and keep Geng Metal under control. This would then allow the BaZi

If there is no Fire to produce and strengthen Earth - while Metal and Water

Earth Qi of its Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch does support this Day Master
to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, both Ji 己 Earth and the Wei (Goat) Earthly Branch - being
already weak - cannot survive being further weakened by Xin Metal.
Since Water is further strengthened by Xin Metal, only Fire may serve as
this Day Master Useful God.

Where Fire and Earth are missing, this Day Master would not be able to

Water is strong, while this Day Master is extremely weak. The Metal Qi
of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch of the Hour Pillar produces and
further strengthens its Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem.

Ren Water is also duly supported by the Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat)

Month. In addition, the Shen (Monkey) and Zi (Rat) combine to form a
partial Water Structure; resulting in an overabundance of strong Water
Qi.

As such, the overall Qi of the BaZi Chart obviously belongs to strong and
cold Water; while Earth is flooded and therefore invisible.

Even the presence of Fire and Earth in the Year and Month Pillars would
not be sufficient to help this Day Master, as Useful Gods. Where Metal
and Water are further encountered, a Follow the Wealth Structure may
possibly be formed.

Although the Zi 子 (Rat) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches combine

analogous to snow-covered Earth; more so since the soft, gentle nature
of the Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar does not allow it to

It is only when Wood and Fire are seen in the Heavenly Stems and
Earthly Branches - as Useful Gods - that this Day Master may be kept
well-balanced.

Metal and Water should be avoided, at all costs.

This Day Master’s Qi is trapped and stored within the Chou 丑 (Ox)
Earthly Branch. The Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is
present to thaw this frozen Day Master.

The Wood Qi of its Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch loosens Earth; thereby
enhancing its chances of being produced and strengthened.

Metal and Water should be avoided; since both have the capacity to
counter and weaken Wood and Fire, as Useful Gods. Ren 壬 Water and
the Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch should be avoided
the most. Otherwise, any fortune or wealth this Day Master earns in life
would only be fleeting.

The Yang Earth Qi of the Wu 戊 Earth - Chen 辰 (Dragon) Hour Pillar lends
much energy to support the otherwise weak, Day Master.

In the case of a Day Master born 3 days before the advent of Greater
Cold (Da Han 大寒), from January 21st to February 3rd, Earth is still not
strong enough; which is why Wu Earth should be employed as the
preferred Useful God. The Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch, will then serves
as storage for Water Qi.

In any case, Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire must also be revealed in the
Heavenly Stems - so that Wu Earth and Ji 己 Earth would be strong
enough to serve as Useful Gods to this Day Master. Wood and Metal
must also be avoided, as much as possible.

This Day Master needs to be produced and supported. Although the Ji

己 Earth - Si 巳 (Snake) Hour Pillar is supposed to serve this purpose,
the Si (Snake) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches combine to form a
partial Metal Structure. This further weakens this Day Master, whose Qi
is already quite weak.

As such, Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire are desperately needed, in order
to produce and strengthen this Day Master.

Although Metal, Water and Wood do weaken this Day Master, there
is no harm in having them present in moderation; although not in
overabundance.

This Day Master’s Qi is trapped and stored within the Chou 丑 (Ox)
Earthly Branch. Although the Fire Qi of the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly Branch
is supposed to produce and strengthen this Day Master, it is also trapped
within its Chou (Ox) counterpart.

Fire and Wood are needed as Useful Gods, if this Day Master is to remain
well-balanced. Otherwise, any happiness and good fortune this Day
Master enjoys in life would only be confined to Fire Luck Periods - and
fleeting.

The Chou 丑 (Ox) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches clash with each
other. This clash is favorable to the Ji 己 Earth Day Master, whose Qi
would then otherwise have been trapped within the Chou (Ox) Earthly
Branch. This clash releases this Day Master’s Qi, and allows it to flourish
accordingly.

Under such circumstances, Wu 戊 Earth - if present - may be suitably

employed as a Useful God to this Day Master. There is also no need to
worry about Xin 辛 Metal weakening or hurting this Day Master further.

Where Gui 癸 Water and Fire are also present, this Day Master would be
able to be kept perfectly well-balanced.

Ji 己 Earth is trapped in the winter. As such, Metal and Wood remain

preferred Useful Gods to this Day Master. Even though the Ren 壬 Water
Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - being seated atop and produced by
the Metal Qi of its Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch - may not clash with
this Day Master of its strength, it would still freeze Ji Earth.

If Fire and Earth are not revealed in the Heavenly Stems, Water would
become overly strong, while this Day Mater would become overly weak.

The Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch
is also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. The You 酉
(Rooster) and Chou (Ox) Earthly Branches also combine to form a
partial Metal Structure; resulting in Water being produced and further
strengthened.

Although Ji 己 Earth is limited in strength, Water remains a preferred

Useful God to a strong Day Master. On the contrary, Fire is a preferred
Useful God to a weak Day Master.

As such, where Bing 丙 Fire is also revealed in the Heavenly Stems, this
Day Master would be a prosperous. But if only Ding 丁 Fire is revealed,
Wood is still needed to produce and ensure that it is strong enough to
serve as a Useful God.

Since the Jia 甲 Wood and Ji 己 Earth Heavenly Stems combine to form
Earth, this would result in Jia Wood being countered and weakened.
But since the Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch serves as storage for Fire Qi, it
would be able to provide some warmth to this Day Master.

Where Fire is ably produced and supported by Jia Wood, it would then
be able to serve as a Useful God in ensuring that this Day Master is
blessed with power and great reputation in life. However, where Geng 庚
Metal is encountered, it would counter Jia Wood and this would result in
negative outcomes in this Day Master’s life.

It would be favorable to this Day Master, if the Wu 午 (Horse) Earthly

Branch is also present and combines with its Yin 寅 (Tiger) counterpart
in forming a partial Fire Structure - or the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch
forms a Punishment Relationship with its Chou 丑 (Ox) counterpart.

The Yi 乙 Wood Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar can serve as a Useful
God to this otherwise trapped Day Master. It is preferred to have Fire and
Earth revealed and penetrating to the Heavenly Stems as this channels
Yi Wood’s Qi to strengthening the Day. In addition, Metal should not be
encountered as well, since it also weakens Yi Wood.

A unique case would be where only Fire is present in the Year and Month
Pillars - while Yi Wood produces and strengthens Fire Qi. Under such
circumstances, this Day Master would then be able to overcome against
all odds to enjoy a fairly good life.

The Hour Pillar in a BaZi Chart can make or break the quality of a BaZi Structure. There are 12 different Hour
Pillars per Day Master each month of the year. Each Hour Pillar has the power to determine the Useful Gods
of an entire BaZi Chart. Each Hour Pillar can also define the quality of a person’s life. Wealth or poverty,
success or failure, happiness or misery – the Hour Pillar holds the key as it plays a crucial role in defining the
Useful Gods of a BaZi Chart.

Every BaZi Chart has an underlying structure that can further clarify and bring to light a person’s destiny and
potential, and clearly maps out what awaits him or her in life.

This BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods Reference Book is designed to supplement the studies and practice of BaZi
students and practitioners in helping them understand how EACH Hour Pillar defines a BaZi Structure, how to
select the Useful Gods and Favorable Elements of a chart and of course, how to analyse and interpret these
structures.

The information in this book is based on classical methods and techniques that are derived from traditional
Chinese BaZi texts and material. These structure methods and techniques in the classical texts were
commonly-used as reference by the Qing Dynasty masters. This book presents the transliterated version of
these traditional texts for the modern, English-speaking practitioner and advanced student without sacrificing
the essence of the original.

This book in the BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods series focuses on Earth Day Masters. This book describes the
12 Hour Pillars of 2 types of Earth Day Masters, Wu 戊 and Ji 己 Earth. The chapters are divided into how both
Wu 戊 and Ji 己 Earth Day Master’s HOUR PILLAR function respectively in all 12 months in a year.

This book on Hour Pillar of Earth Day Masters serves as a functional and helpful reference guide and includes:

• The HOUR PILLAR attributes of Wu 戊 and Ji 己 Earth respectively in each of the 12 months
• Useful Gods selection reference guide based on the Hour of Birth for each of the 12 months
• Learn how to select the Useful Gods and Favorable Elements of a BaZi chart for the Earth Day Masters in all
12 months of the year – based on it’s Hour of Birth
• Detailed classical commentary on the factors affecting the overall strength of the Day Master and the Hour
Pillar in 12 different months
• Additional Hour Attributes that may affect the Day Master depending on different Structures and Useful Gods

study and reference for masters, teachers, practitioners, and students of higher level BaZi.
