Heavenly StemsThere are ten Heavenly Stems (represented by the acronyms "H" or "HS") used in the construction of the Four Pillarsof Ba Zi (四柱八字), a method of Chinese Divination based on a person's date and time of birth. For example,both the acronyms "HS1" and "H1" represent the first Heavenly Stem, namely "Jia" (Yang Wood), as shown in thetables below.

Notes:1.1. In the above table, "5Com" means the 5 Combinations of two adjacent Heavenly Stems. These combinations

result in a good structure of a person's Ba Zi2.2. "Clash" means that the Heavenly Stems clash with each other in the Ba Zi, when they are next to each other.

Clashes will result in a poor structure of a person's Ba Zi.3.3. If there is a Clash of two adjacent Stems, as well as a Combination with another Stem, the Clash will not occur,

as Combinations take precedence over Clashes.

Earthly BranchesThere are twelve Earthly Branches (represented by the acronyms "E" or "EB") used in the construction of the FourPillars of Ba Zi (四柱八字). For example, both the acronyms "EB1" and "E1" represent the first Earthly Branch,namely "Rat" (Yang Water), as shown in the tables below.

Notes:

1. The Chinese terms used for the animal mnemonics are not words used for the animals themselves. For example, the Chinese word for "Rat" is "鼠" and not "子". Similarly, the word for "Horse" is "马" and never "午", as














http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthly_Branches

Earthly Branches 4

shown in the table above. The animal signs are therefore used purely as a memory aid, and carry no inherentmeaning. In other words, the physical or mental characteristics of a person cannot be inferred from the animalsign under which he/she is born. For example, it cannot be inferred that a person born under the "Ox" sign isstrong, or that a person born under the "Tiger" sign is ferocious. Such facile inferences are invalid.

2. In translating the Earthly Branch from Chinese to English, only one word is used, although the Chinese termscould be translated into English in more than one way. For example, the Chinese term for "Goat" could equallymean "ram" or "sheep" in English, the term for "Rat" could also be translated as "mouse", and the word for"Metal" is sometimes translated as "Gold", as the same Chinese character is used for both. In addition, the term"Five Elements" could be translated literally, and perhaps more accurately, as "Five Movements".

Earthly Branch Interactions (Combinations and Clashes)In the table below, combinations and clashes refer to the type of interactions between two or more of the four EarthlyBranches (the hour, day, month and year earthly branches) found in a person's Ba Zi chart.Combinations refer to auspicious interactions, and clashes are inauspicious interactions. For example, in Row 1,combination(E3,E4,E5) means that if the branches E3, E4 and E5 are found in a person's Ba Zi chart, it is anauspicious sign. On the other hand, clash(E1,E7) in Row 7 means that if the branches E1 and E7 are found in a BaZi chart, it is an indication of an inauspicious chart.Combinations may result in a new element being formed in a chart. For example, combination(E12,E4,E8) in Row2will result in the formation of the new element "Wood", as indicated in the table below.

Hierarchy of Earthly Branch InteractionsThe following is the hierarchy of Earthly Branch interactions, ranked in descending order of importance. Forexample, "Seasonal Combination" is more important, and will override "Three Combinations", which in turn willoverride "Three Persecuting Clashes".1.1. Seasonal Combination2.2. Three Combinations3.3. Three Persecuting Clashes4.4. Six Clashes5.5. Half Combination6.6. Self Persecuting Clash7.7. Six Combinations8.8. Conflicted Clashes9.9. Related Clashes

Prerequisites For Interactions To Be SuccessfulThe prerequisites for interactions to be successful are:1.1. Three Combinations: For a front-half or rear-half combination to be successful, the resultant element (Water,

Earth, Fire, Wood, or Metal) must be present in any one or more of the Heavenly Stems of the Ba Zi chart. Forexample, a half-combination of E1 (Yang Water) and E9 (Yang Metal) will result in the Water element. If theWater element is found in any of the four Heavenly Stems, then this half-combination will be effective (thebranches E1 and E9 need not be next (adjacent) to each other in the Ba Zi chart for the combination to besuccessful). Conversely, a combination of E1 and E9 will not be successful if the element Water is not found inany of the four Heavenly Stems of a person's Ba Zi chart.

2.2. Six Clashes: For a "Six Clash" to be effective, the pair of contributing branches must be next (adjacent) to eachother in a Ba Zi chart. For example, the clash of E7 and E1 will be effective if E7 is on the Hour Earth Branch andE1 is on the Day Earth Branch. On the other hand, the clash of E7 and E1 will not be effective if E7 is on theHour Earth Branch and E1 is on the Month or Year Earth Branch.

3.3. Six Combinations: For a "Six Combination" to be effective, the pair of contributing branches must be next(adjacent) to each other in a Ba Zi chart. For example, the combination of E2 and E1 will be effective if E2 is onthe Hour Earth Branch and E1 is on the Day Earth Branch. On the other hand, the combination of E2 and E1 willnot be effective if E2 is on the Hour Earth Branch and E1 is on the Month or Year Earth Branch.

4.4. Seasonal Combinations: For a "Seasonal Combination" to be effective, the three contributing branches need notbe next (adjacent) to each other in a Ba Zi chart.

Hidden Heavenly Stems in Earthly BranchesFor every Earthly Branch, one or more Hidden Heavenly Stems may be found. In the evaluation of a Ba Zi chart,both the Earthly Branches and Hidden Heavenly Stems are taken into account.The "+" sign in the table below represents "Yang", and the "-" sign represents "Yin". For example, "+Wood" denotes"Yang Wood", and "-Water" denotes "Yin Water".

Hsia Calendar

IntroductionThe Hsia Calendar (夏历) is also known as the Ten Thousand Year Calendar (万年历). Unlike the ChineseLunar Calendar, the Hsia Calendar is a Chinese solar sexagenary calendar system, based on a cycle of 60-years.

PurposeFor a given date and time of birth, the Hsia Calendar is used to obtain the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches withwhich to construct the Four Pillars of Destiny (四柱) of a person. The Four Pillars of Destiny are also known as theBa Zi (八字), literally the Eight Characters of a person's birth. In ancient China, one use of this form of divinationwas to select a suitable marriage partner.The Four Pillars of Destiny are the Year Pillar, the Month Pillar, the Day Pillar and the Hour Pillar. Each Pillar ismade up of two components, namely the Heavenly Stem and the Earthly Branch, both of which are read from theHsia Calendar.The Hsia Calendar is also used in various types of Feng Shui, or Chinese Geomancy, such as the Flying Star FengShui.

SeasonsThere are twelve Seasons (SS) used in the Hsia Calendar. These are based on the relative position of the sun.

Hour Pillar 13



• The Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is obtained from the intersection of the column (Heavenly Stem of DayPillar) and the row (Time of Birth). For example, for a person born between 5pm-7pm, with a Heavenly Stem ofthe Day Pillar of H3, the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar will be H4.

• The Earthly Branch of the Hour Pillar is obtained from the last column (Earthly Branch of Hour Pillar) of theabove chart. For example, if the Heavenly Stem of Day Pillar is H3 and the time of birth is 6.23pm, then the HourPillar is H4, E10.

Using the Monthly Pillar of a Ba Zi chart, the first luck pillar will be the next Stem & Branch of the above charts, ineither the forward or reverse cycle.For example, a male born in a Yang year (or a female born in a Yin year) will follow the forward cycle, and if hisMonth Pillar is HS8 and EB6, then his first Luck Pillar will be HS9 and EB7.Similarly, if a female is born in a Yang year (or a male born in a Yin year), her luck will follow the reverse cycle,and her first Luck Pillar will be HS7 and EB5, if her Monthly Pillar is HS8 and EB6.

Starting Age of the First Luck PillarEach Luck Pillar lasts 10 years. The first five years are covered by a Heavenly Stem, and the next five years by anEarthly Branch, and this is repeated for each subsequent Luck Pillar. The starting age of the Luck Pillar is based onthe date of birth in the Hsia Calendar. The following variables are used to derive the Luck Pillar:1.1. The gender of the person2.2. The Yin or Yang of the Heavenly Stem of the year of birth3.3. The Monthly Pillar of the Ba Zi of the person4. The number of days to the preceding or following Hsia Season, from the date of birthThere are two possibilities, (A) and (B), as given below:(A)

Luck Pillar 15

For a male born in a Yang year (that is, the Heavenly Stem of the Year Pillar is Yang), the method is to look up hisdate of birth in the Hsia Calendar, count forward, and obtain the number of days from his date of birth to the nextHsia Season, where Early Spring is represented by 1, Mid Spring by 2, Late Spring by 3, ... etc. For example, if Joeis born on 28th August 2000 (where the Monthly Pillar is HS1 and EB9), then the first day of the following HsiaSeason is 7th Sep 2000, and the number of days is 10.The starting age will be 10 divided by 3, rounded to the nearest integer, which is 3. The Heavenly Stem of Joe's firstfive years will be from 3 to 7, and the Earthly Branch of his next five years will be from age 8 to age 12. The LuckCycle or Luck Pillar is plotted from right to left, as the age increases, beginning from the next (in increasing order)Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of his Monthly Pillar.The above calculation also applies for a female born in a Yin year.The Luck Cycle : H2-E10, Age 3, Forward

73-77 63-67 53-57 43-47 33-37 23-27 13-17 3-7 Age

EB5 EB4 EB3 EB2 EB1 EB12 EB11 EB10 Earthly Branch

(B)However, for a male born in a Yin year, or a female born in a Yang year, the counting is in a backward sequence.The counting starts from the date of birth backwards to the preceding Hsia Season. For example, if Joe is born in aYin year, the counting will start from 28th August 2000 backwards to 6th August 2000, giving a total of 22 days. Inthis case, the starting age will be 22 divided by 3, which is 7 (rounded to the nearest integer). The Heavenly Stem ofJoe's first five years will be from 7 to 11, and the Earthly Branch of his next five years will be from age 12 to age 16.The Luck Cycle or Luck Pillar is plotted from right to left, as the age increases, beginning from the next (indecreasing order, since Joe is a male born in a Yin year) Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of his Monthly Pillar.The Luck Cycle : H10-E8, Age 7, Reverse

12-Stage Life Cycle Of The Self ElementThe Self Element is the Heavenly Stem of the Day Pillar. The Self Element is combined with the Earthly Branch ofeach of the Pillars (Year, Month, Day, Hour), and the intersection of these gives the Life Stage as depicted in thechart below:

H10 H8 H6 H4 H2 H9 H7 H5 H3 H1 12 Life Stages Status/Strength

E4 E1 E10 E10 E7 E9 E6 E3 E3 E12 Birth Strong

E3 E12 E9 E9 E6 E10 E7 E4 E4 E1 Bath Weak

E2 E11 E8 E8 E5 E11 E8 E5 E5 E2 Attire Weak

E1 E10 E7 E7 E4 E12 E9 E6 E6 E3 Coming-of-Age Strong

E6 E3 E12 E12 E9 E7 E4 E1 E1 E10 Conception Weak

E5 E2 E11 E11 E8 E8 E5 E2 E2 E11 Nurture Weak

For example, if the Month Pillar is H3~E4, then the Self Element is H3. If the Year Pillar is H10~E1, then the LifeStage for the Year Pillar is H3~E1, and from the above table, it is depicted as "Conception" which is bestowed with a"Weak" status. This process of obtaining the Life Stage is then repeated for each of the four pillars.

All Seasons Earth Metal Water Wood Fire

The Season of Birth has the greatest impact on the Ba Zi. For example, if a person is born in Spring, then Woodprospers, Fire is born, Earth dies, Metal is imprisoned, and Water retreats. The term "All Seasons" refer to the lastmonth (the third month) of every Season, when Earth prospers, as Earth is the transition element between any twoSeasons. For example, when Metal (Autumn) changes to Water (Winter) the transition element is Earth.

Sixty-Year CycleThe Sixty-Year Cycle is an infinite cycle, and can be arranged by Earthly Branch (E1-E10) as shown in the tablebelow. An odd-numbered Earthly Branch is always matched with an odd-numbered Heavenly Stem, and aneven-numbered Earthly Branch is always matched with an even-numbered Heavenly Stem. For example, a year canhave a Stem and Branch combination of H1-E1 or H4-E4, but cannot have a Stem and Branch combination of H1-E2or H4-E1.

The presence of Heaven Void is like a catalyst, and it can moderate or reverse the effect of an auspicious orinauspicious Star. For example, if there is both an auspicious Star and a Heaven Void in a Ba Zi chart, the auspiciousStar will be less beneficial. Similarly, if there is both an inauspicious Star and a Heaven Void in a Ba Zi chart, theinauspicious Star will be less harmful.To determine the presence of the Heaven Void in a Ba Zi chart, look at both the Stem and Branch of the Year Pillarand both the Stem and Branch of the Day Pillar. After this, look at the Earthly Branch of the other pillars todetermine whether the Heaven Void is found.For example, if the Year Pillar is H1-E1 (in Group One), then Heaven Void falls on E11 and E12, so if the MonthBranch is E11 or E12, then Heaven Void is located in the Month Pillar. Similarly, if the Day Pillar is H2-E10 (inGroup Three), then Heaven Void falls on E7 and E8, so if the Day/Month/Year Branch is E7 or E8, then HeavenVoid is located in the Day/Month/Year Pillar respectively.

Date SelectionBa Zi | Heavenly Stems | Earthly Branches | Hsia Calendar (Xia Calendar) | Hour Pillar | Luck Pillar | Life Cycle |Hidden Stems | Seasonal Cycle | Symbolic Stars | Aspects Of Life | Date Selection | List Of Ba Zi

Date Selection

IntroductionIn Chinese divination, the selection of an auspicious date is based on the Hsia Calendar. Auspicious dates areselected for marriages, job applications, business transactions, signing of agreements and other important events. Thegeneral strategy to select a good or auspicious day is to follow these steps:1.1. For a particular period (week/month/year), first strike off the days that are generally inauspicious, such as

[Danger] or Three Killings days.2.2. By comparing with a person's Ba Zi, strike off those days that are personally inauspicious, such as Extinction Star

(pX-) days.3.3. After narrowing down the search, the remaining days are probably usable if not auspicious. Select the remaining

days that auspicious, such as [Success] or Good Asset days, and/or those that are personally advantageous, suchas Combination (pGC-) and/or Heavenly Doctor (pGH-) days.

Column HeadingsThe signs/symbols (Three Killings, Good Asset, Success, etc) that indicate whether a day is auspicious or inauspicious may appear under any Column Heading (Year, Month, Day, Season, etc) in a table for convenience of representation only. As a calendar with listings by date, all signs/symbols refer to the day itself, and may not indicate any relationship whatsoever with the column under which it appears. For example, the personal Extinction Stars are put into the Season column for convenience only, as it makes the table more compact; the Extinction Stars do not have any relationship with the Season. If an Extinction Star is to be put into a column that represents a person's Ba Zi, namely one of the 10 Heavenly Stems, an additional 10 columns will have to be














Date Selection 45

included, making the table unwieldy. This problem will be compounded if the same logic is applied to the EarthlyBranches, and 12 additional columns will need to be included. Column proliferation is avoided by simply enclosingthe signs/symbols within round or square brackets, then putting them into existing columns in the tables, with theunderstanding that all signs/symbols have meaning only within the context of the date (row) itself. In other words,these signs/symbols within brackets can be put under any other column without altering their meanings.

YearsThe following is a list of Gregorian calendar years that may be used for the selection of auspicious dates in the HsiaCalendar system:

Abbreviations, Signs And Symbols UsedThe use of abbreviations, signs and symbols is to minimise the size of the date selection calendar, whilst facilitatingunderstanding without bloat.

Brackets1.1. [] - Square Brackets are used to indicate effects that are solely dependent on the date itself, and are independent

of a person's Ba Zi. Within square brackets, capital letters are acronyms for the Pillar and Stem / Branch of theDate. For example, "MH" refers to the Month Heavenly Stem of the Date, and "YE" refers to the Year EarthlyBranch of the Date.

2.2. () - Round Brackets are used to indicate effects that are dependent on BOTH the date and a person's Ba Zi.Within round brackets, the small letter "p" implies that the effect is "personal" to a person's Ba Zi. The other smallletters are acronyms for the Pillar and Stem / Branch of a person's Ba Zi chart. For example, "mh" refers to theMonth Heavenly Stem, and "de" refers to the Day Earthly Branch of a person's Ba Zi.

The use of square and round brackets, together with the use of capital and small letters, are designed to help a readerto rapidly decipher and understand the usefulness of a day in date selection.

Date Selection 46

Prosperity Stars"GPS-" represents a Good Prosperity Star, and is an auspicious day for investments. For any particular Date, theProperity Star is computed using the Heavenly Stem of the Year and the Earthly Branch of the Day. For example,"GPS-DE5" means there is a Prosperity Star on that day, where the Day Earthly Branch has a value of 5(representing Dragon).

Year Asset or Storage Star"GA-" represents Good Asset (Year Asset or Storage Star) days. For example, [GA-DE2] represents a Year AssetDay, with a Day Earthly Branch of 2 (representing Ox).
