hold much treasure and would do much to keep it a secret from the public. Jia Chen is one such people with hidden potential obscure from public view. Jia in
Chinese means Armor and hence Gamera the giant turtle while Chen is a dense forest so Gamera hiding in forest. (grew up watching too much Japanese
Anime)
Jia is the proud and noble wood. They stood tall and firm on their ground and budging is not their option. They usually stay humble and quiet just to observe
their surrounding. Giving is what they do best as tree has no ability to say no to other that seek its help. They provide shade, fruits, oxygen (if they give WiFi
then they wont be cut down) and even sacrifice to become firewood. Its an element that on its own quite easy to exploit.
Jia here is seated on Chen (Dragon) which carry the main Qi of Wu earth (Indirect Wealth) and sub Qi of Yi wood (Rob Wealth) and Gui water (Direct
Resource). IW provide them with the ability to spot future opportunity and being a tall tree they can virtually see your potential from miles away. Combine this
with the natural ability of RW to be able to lead (used) people, their main weapon of defense is spotting looming cloud of doom from afar and dispatch their
minions to deal with it. The resource star give them the ability to amass a large database of potential helper in their master plan.
Chen combine with You (Rooster) that has the Xin metal (Direct Officer) element. This is the element of husband star. The female Jia Chen is well suited for
marriage as they have the quality of the traditional strategic wife. They keep to themselves and only act via proxy and never launch a direct attack toward their
husband.
Chen clash with Xu (Dog) that carry the energy of Wu earth (Indirect Wealth), Ding fire (Hurting Officer) and Xin metal (Direct Officer). Here you can see the
husband star is push away along with the HO star. The female Jia Chen will seldom place much importance in their husband present, what they actually want
from them may not be companionship but other much useful trait.
Overall they are rather strategic player in society. Being humble and unthreatening is their main weapon by directing danger and trouble away from them. on
one hand they are advert helper but at the same time they will keep a record of your favor and draw on it when necessary. Love is not such a big theme for them
Gui Mao is like the little plant farm where it will grow whatever seed that has been sow into the plot. With tender loving care, one can see their slow progress of
growing and maturity. Some will be able to transfer the seedling into the actual environment where they will mature while other might just get destroy for a
Gui is the dewdrop of the morning dawn. Its an element that give live and further nurture it. They have this ability to stay on and linger like the mist even if the
situation is unwelcome. You can kick and hit the mist but it will just temporary move away but will surely come back again.
Gui is seated on a Mao (Rabbit) with a single energy of Yi Wood (Eating God). EG is the star of enjoyment and hence they are great at chilling out. The
combination of Wood Eating God gives them an edge when it come to people interaction. They know how to get into people physiological need and lash on to it
like a rope. Mao act as a peach blossom and further involve with the Zi-Mao uncivilized punishment which make them susceptible and rather popular with
Mao will attract the energy of Xu (Dog) that hold Wu earth (Direct Officer), Ding fire (Indirect Wealth) and Xin metal (Indirect Resource). For the woman the
husband star Direct Officer is a welcome element while the men only want temporary attachment with the present of Indirect Wealth Star.
Mao will be attack by You (Rooster) that carry the energy of Xin metal (Indirect Resource). Here its neutral to relationship but carry crucial role in controlling
The pillar is much more favorable for a female as its a nurturing role that it represent. With a strong connecting to DO and control over HO, female gain a better
chance to continue their relationship. They dont have much requirement apart from wanting to be taken care of. Although, they are easily exploited from their
weak outlook but they are capable of manipulating other to do their bidding.
Sunshine, vast sea and some sturdy coconut tree, this is how life should be. The open coastal front as most people would associate a fun and freedom time of
their life. Have anyone mention that Typhoon and Tsunami tend to land on those place too? Ren Yin is exactly this type of people, cover with joy and possibility
Ren water is the element of vast greatness. It cover the entire surface of earth and connect end to end with every other body of water. Since they make natural
connector that have the ability to blend with people rather instantly. They are a super chameleon with the ability to instant blend in and be part of your life. They
give you this eerie feeling of a long lost friend that you never know. The caveat is that they are hard to get rid off you cannot really run away from the sea,
Ren is resided on Yin (Tiger) which has the main Qi of Jia Wood (Eating God) flank by the sub Qi of Bing fire (Indirect Wealth) and Wu earth (7 Killing). On
its own the Yin branch is rather good with Wood giving progressive growth, Fire bringing the sunshine of happiness and Earth providing the stability of trust. It
is when it is pair with Ren that thing get a little sinister. Jia wood being the enjoyment and artistic star of Eating god will project a scene of sophisticated
serenity. This generally will disarm most people around them. Indirect wealth the opportunistic star will carry the agenda in plain sight scanning for the open
window. 7 Killing is the ultimate goal of getting thing done and it fall on earth which is another abundant element we stand on. This pillar cover the land and the
Yin combine with Hai (Pig) that hold the energy of Ren water (Friend) and Jia wood (Eating God). Both this star is not involve with relationship star of
husband/wife. Since the natural state only carry IW and 7K which is the girlfriend/boyfriend star, they are not into the long hull game. Much like the sunshine
with their relationship as they are willing to go without it. The male counterpart would be a little more strategic with their love.
Overall, approach with care as there is no free lunch from them. Please do not think that they are naturally evil but they are just much better at playing card
when compare to most other people. Everyone need a summer vacation near the water front overstaying the hospitality is your own fault.
long winter tomb. Xin Chou people are like an uncut gem stone that has just been found. In the hand of a master craftsman they can become wondrous jewelry
fetching great fortune. Yet, one wrong move it may just shatter into dust.
Xin metal carry the nature of precision. They are usually people that rely heavily on detail of the matter. We do generally hate their nit-picking attitude but are
amazed by their ability to find small item that we often miss. They have no problem in generation attention for them-self and are hence very adapted to handle
limelight and hot seat situation. Often a loner, as they find it hard to find a peer of equal status.
Xin is seated on Chou (Ox) which carry the main Qi of Ji Earth (Indirect Resource) and sub Qi of Gui water (Eating God) and Xin metal (Friend). This give a
combination of a loyalist. Indirect Resource is the star that govern ones intuition which encompass the ability to know the big picture. Their thinking usually
involve structure aspect and this couple with Xin already sensitive nature, give them a unique ability to think big and in detail. Both Eating God and Friend star
are the more peace loving energy and hence their ideal are often straddle along the line of cooperative gain. Xin Chou people often choose the long game by
Chou combine with Zi (Rat) to attract in the energy of Eating God (Gui water). Here for both male and female, since the missing of both Husband (DO) and
Wife (DW) star, we can conclude that relationship is often not their priority. Since EG is the star of creativity and imagination, this do suggest that they do crave
for it but only in their realm of imagination and their standard may be a little disconnected from reality (watching too much korean drama?).
Chou clash with Wei (Goat) repelling the energy of Indirect Resource (Ji earth), 7K (Ding fire) and Indirect Wealth (Yi wood). Both 7K and IW carry the
representation of lover and hence they often reject love before it even grow into a longer term relationship. This also means that they lack the energy to take
action (7K) and may have a shorter vision of the future (IW). They wait and see and will continue to wait.
These are diamond that has yet to discover them-self (or rather waiting to be discover). They are born at the end of winter and moving into Spring which is their
wealth element sit. Their progression does depend on their luck cycle. Lady born in a Yin stem year and Man born in the Yang stem year will get launch
You achieve sonic boom when a large object travel in air faster than the speed of sound. at approximately 1,225km/hr all the sound cannot escape each other
(get in each other way) and create one large explosive sound for everyone to hear. Geng Zi is like the sonic boom, they do not seems to be able to get out of their
own way and make a scene for everyone to see eventually. Truly a very noisy pillar.
Geng is a rather poor element. On its own its rather useless as a clump of ore. Often they need to go over a long and excruciating process of forging before they
can become something really useful. Hence, their story are always pack with hardship, trail and tribulation. Fire is often needed in the forging process to make
them soft and manageable and then come another peace of equally hard steel to hit and hit them into shape. After the entire process they become something that
is totally not them-self. Talk about being in hardship all your life and finally realizing that your original essence is all remove and change into something that
Geng is stated on top of Zi (Rat) that carry a singular energy of Gui water (Hurting Officer). Water is a corrosion agent to Metal which make this setup not as
hopeful as other. Hurting Officer is term as the trouble maker of 10 gods as they have this tendency to challenge the establishment. They have real problem
following rule and submitting to society will. They have this idea that they can make thing work better without ever asking if anyone really want to change thing
around.
Relationship is particularly edgy for the female as HO repel the husband star of DO. While it does not really do much to the male counterpart but the Zi attract
the most unwanted relationship bane of Zi-Mao uncivilized punishment. People in this setup are often entangle in sexual scandal with relative ease. Thing of
sexual in nature seems to be open to them, either they become a victim or assume the role of the abuser. So, how do you expect to maintain a healthy normal
Zi invite Chou (Ox) into the house with a combination that carry the energy of Ji earth (DR), Xin metal (RW) and Gui water (HO). here you can already see that
both the husband (DO) and Wife (DW) repelling agent of RW and HO is invited into the pool. You just cannot imagine how are they going to control the
Zi clash with Wu (Horse) which will remove the energy of Ding fire (DO) ans Ji earth (DR). here you can see that the husband star DO is hurl out into the street.
So, you can see that this pillar is particularly anti relationship for a female bearer. Unfortunately that society is often more forgiving toward male species when it
Without sufficient discipline (Fire element) that is required for the forging process, this pillar will eventually rot itself. It is often advise that the Geng Zi pillar
people to be subject to some form of hardship early in life and only that can ensure that they are refine enough that the water become a polishing agent instead of
a rusting agent.
the star allow sailor in any part of the world to calculate their own relative position from the star and reach their intended destination. Ding You () has the
same ability to guide people and act as a natural magnet if you need guidance.
Ding fire is the element of enlightenment. It provide vision in the darkest condition and provide warm in the coldest environment. It is often describe as life
changing. You see, Ding fire is the only element that can change all other element, it scorcher earth, turn wood to ash, turn water to steam, melt metal and of
course devour itself. Its prime function is to get you the necessary drive to move ahead. Transformation process is often painful and can take a long time,
Ding is sitting on top of You (Rooster) which carry a singular energy of Xin metal. Xin often represent precision and clarity. We often used precious metal like
gold silver and even diamond to speak of Xin. It is indeed a rather rare element with the uncanny ability to attract attention. This setup make them naturally
Xin metal here represent Indirect Wealth when translated into 10 gods. IW is the star of the future. They have this penchant like to see far ahead and wait for the
right moment to leap. Their ability to assess the big picture is sometimes overwhelming. They make conscious decision to abandon unnecessary action and just
You (Rooster) will attract Chen (Dragon) which carry the energy of Hurting Officer (Wu) couple with 7 Killing (Gui) and Indirect Resource (IR). In term of
romance the appearance of HO and 7K does not favor the female side. You (rooster) is also a peach blossom star which make a lady rather attractive, risky and
unable to follow society doctrine. You just cant seems to ever reach her heart.
You (Rooster) will clash Mao (Rabbit) that carry the element of Yi wood (Indirect Resource). Its neutral for both gender when it come to relationship. IR is
often the yardstick of health as IR produce the DayMaster. Having repel the IR, it is indicate the willingness to put personal health at the backseat. self-
They have a mission in their life which is to make you move. They want to show you that your current spot is not good enough and you deserve a better result.
They are equip with the skill to attract and lure you with peach blossom (You), enlightenment (Ding) and future (IW). To achieve this, they are prepared to hurl
themselves into the fire pit and burn together toward the future glory.
settle of the dust to see what lies ahead. Yi Wei is like the moment after a volcanic eruption / forest fire, it look somewhat desolated but underneath all the ash,
Yi wood is named as the resilient element. They have the great ability to survive due to their non rigid nature. They ask for very little and will basically grow on
any surface if given the basic of sunshine and water. They have this great ability to leverage and take what is thrown away and make it their edge. The element
that subdue the aggressive Yang Metal (Geng), this weak and soft element do know how to get into your heart and make you move with their rhythm.
Wei (Goat) carry 3 Qi with Ji Earth (Indirect Wealth) being the main and flank by Ding fire (Eating God) and Yi wood (Friend). These people under the pillar
are naturally forward looking. This is also one of the main reason why momentary disaster never fret them as they would have already look at the opportunity
presented to them. Being the soft earth (Ji) their tendency is always to nurture and not to confront. You can say that they have a caring heart when it come to the
The Eating God star give them the ability to imagine and create, they can largely ignored what is currently in front of them and instantly create a fantasy world
where they can work their magic. Ding fire is the element of hope and this is again reaffirming their ability to make other feel that there is still a future amidst
their misfortune. While the psychology is being build, Yi wood the friend star add confidence and comfort to them. They know how to move their way toward
your heart and with the help of a better future and enlightening mind, its is hard not to buy into their ideal.
Wei pull in Wu (Horse) in a combination that carry the energy of Eating God (Ding fire) and further supplement with Indirect Wealth (Ji earth). Since both the
Wife (DW) and Husband (DO) is missing, we can already conclude that they will not prioritize marriage. Their caring nature is actually an obstruction to a
fulfilling relationship, as you have a partner that keep running off to rescue other.
Wei clash with the energy of Chou (Ox) which carry the energy of Indirect Wealth (Ji earth) and Indirect Resource (Gui water) / 7 Killing (Xin metal). Here you
can see that the substitute wife star (IW) and substitute husband star (7K) is both being push away. They seems to be hellbent wanting to maintain their single
Yi Wei is truly something different with their focus of regenerating other after an unpleasant event. Their willingness to put their own need behind other is
commendable. They make very good candidate to run charitable organisation and are very adapted in making other believe that tomorrow can really become
better.
The true candle. In time of darkness, this is what everyone seek. They act as the guiding light to people that is lost. They sacrifice themselves, just so that other
can see the way. If you are ever in search of a teacher, this is very pillar you should look for.
Ding fire sitting on Mao (Rabbit) which carries Yi wood (candle wick), the Indirect Resource of Ding. They are often very knowledgeable and are unhindered
by the method of learning. Their mind work in a very unique way that its often said that they have a guiding intuition. They are often in seeking mode that they
will find out what ever that interest them. They are gentle in nature but its not shy. They are rather disruptive with their curiosity and the need to point thing out.
They make a great teacher since they show and show with no end in mind. Those that want to use Ding Mao need to handle with care, they only show where
ever you go, what old Chinese saying when the student is ready, the teacher will emerge. Light only shine where you bring the candle, candle dont float
around on its own. If you drop a candle, it may catch fire and cause considerable damage and ravage. They are know to trade their health for enlightenment but
fortunately their health (IR) is of growth type. If they do not go all the way and allowed sufficient recuperation, they can expect a long and prosperous life. Its
Mao (Rabbit) attract Xu (Dog) in a combination. This bring Wu (HO), Xin (IW) and Ding (F) into the picture. So, you can already detect that the HO make
them a natural talker, they are already familiar among Friends and most importantly, they are good with the concept of wealth (IW). For female, relation ship is
going to be of a challenge since HO traditionally repel DO (husband star). This is mainly due to the fact that their curiosity get the better of them, often
suspicious of their man activity, not a healthy hobby at all. For men, at least the wealth star is present, IW is often the unstable relationship, one moment full of
Mao (rabbit) push away You (Rooster) in a clash. This remove Xin (IW). The irony of a teacher, want money but do not want it as well. For the sake of
knowledge enlightenment, they can sacrifice a high amount of wealth to obtain them. Basically they are bad at spending money, trying to acquire knowledge at
every corner, exhausting their fortune. Xin also represent those that is small and shinny. You will often see them without any decorative accessory, very basic in
their style, nothing too eye catching. Although being brilliant, do not let them invest your money, you will not see it come back.
Ding Mao is rather nostalgic in nature. Slowly sacrificing themselves, so that other can see the way. What often happen when you are done using a candle ?
They get abandon ! (Now you can get self recycle candle)
Imagine, you standing on a cliff, staring into the dark forest underneath you. You need to cross the forest, and out of a sudden, the sun raise. You see the forest
clear like crystal, the path to your destination is all shown without reservation. This is the sight of a Bing Yin pillar.
Bing Fire element is sitting on Yin (Tiger) which carried 3 elements, Jia wood, Bing fire and Wu earth. The pillar itself already consist of a self element Bing
which support the stem, further to that, it also carries the resource element of Jia wood that further support the stem, this make this pillar extremely strong by
itself.
Bing fire sitting on Jia wood which is his Indirect Resource (IR). The person is already attune to unconventional learning method, resourceful and
knowledgeable. Tiger in the forest, it can leap out from any direction, never underestimate them. Intuitive is their second nature, they may know thing that you
need / want even before you know them. This give them the ability to forward strategize much better than any other pillar. IR is the main star that govern a
person health, so they already have the health star with them. So, now imagine someone who cant die, see the future and willing to learn in any form or method.
There is an added bonus for being a Bing, you have a secret reverse production cycle. Wood is not producing Bing, Sun fire cannot be produce by putting Wood
in, only Ding candle fire is fuel by Wood. In actual sense, Sun fire produces wood by giving them the necessary energy to grow. This would means that Jia here
will double up as the Eating God (EG) of Bing. Bing here is also a very creative person (in secret), usually keep quiet and under the radar, waiting for that
The Wu element in Yin is the Eating God (EG) star. Imaginative and creative would be his second nature. Since it is govern by its IR (Jia), their thought come
under great control. They have the necessary knowledge and data to properly fuel their creative imagination. They may give you crazy idea but its at least
The Bing element in Yin represent the Friend star. Confidence and full of pride, walking among their peers. They are naturally buddy people, they place trust in
people easily. This is mainly because they are strong and of less incline to worry of betrayal. Since they know they can always take you out easily if you ever
Yin combine with Hai (Pig) that bring in the element Ren and Jia. Here the 7K and IR is pull into their life. 7K represent action, all his dream and idea now are
put into action. 7K produces IR and IR produces Self (Bing), this is a very powerful flow of production. The more they do the more they dare to do. We should
mention now that there is no Wealth star anywhere in sight, so as a consolation price, they may not be wealthy people. more accurately, they do not place wealth
in priority. Relation ship / wife / girlfriend is better to stand one side when he is pursuing his big dream and plan. For a female Bing Yin, at least there is a 7K
being attracted, occasional fling of tender loving care is totally welcome, but if you turn needy and demanding, out you will go as well.
Yin clash with Shen (Monkey) that repel Geng, Ren and Wu. IW, 7K and EG is the star in question. So, as mention above, not only did Yin not interested in
wealth, they actually distaste wealth. idea that is associated with wealth and action that is associated with wealth. Overall they want nothing to do with wealth
pursuance, at least the risky type of wealth (IW). In relationship, they would skip the entire courtship portion, dont be their girlfriend, go straight for marriage is
you want to be with this pillar. For the lady Bing Yin, you want men and you also push away men. About the same strategy, go straight for union.
Bing Yin is one of the more colorful packaged pillar. They are bold and full of dream to move forward. The do not get bogged down by the normal pursuance of
wealth and relationship take a secondary seat. Its all about progress, discover and creating that something new. You can find them aplenty as entrepreneur (that
is unfortunately not making money), forefront of research and development (again pouring money into nowhere), Then you get their big bang, they become so
Surviving the harsh winter, being the first plant to emerge, bearing its soul, risking the unknown. Yi Chou is the hope against a barren landscape, even in such a
situation, there are survivor and are all ready and willing to thrive.
Yi sitting on Ji Earth represented by Indirect Wealth. This directly support its opportunistic nature, where other do not see a value, Yi Chou will see it in them.
They are very attuned in searching for people strong point and make them their own advantage. If you have ever wonder what is your value go talk to a Yi
Further they are also supported by Xin metal representing the 7 Killing. They take no bullshit in their endeavor, they grew in a harsh winter environment,
nothing can throw them back further. No fear no remorse on their action.
Gui Water being the Indirect Resource give them the intuition of survival. The question very little and take prompt from life very seriously, vigorous in pursuing
their life dream. They will learn from all possible source, unconventional is not a barrier for them.
As a package, Yi Chou is powerful survival kit. You will notice their uncanny ability to detect the smallest sign of opportunity to move forward in their life.
You may at time call them opportunist or even selfish but then again you need to consider their winter prison, they have no time to play nice and hence may
seems aggressive.
Zi and Chou form a combination. This further attract more Indirect Resource, their intellect to learn under unconventional become even more stronger. This
Chou and Wei form a clash repelling Ji (IW), Yi (Fr) and Ding (EG) from Wei. Wealth is not diminish in this encounter but Friendship will be challenge. Their
For both male and female the absence of spouse element, DO (husband) and DW (wife) does signal that relationship take a back sit in their life. They are busy
playing catch up for what they have miss. The present of 7K (boyfriend) and strong present of IW (girlfriend), does tell that they want to have the most in their
Success is of no issue for Yi Chou being in a special situation where they are sitting on Wealth, Influence and Resource. Wealth (IW) grow Influence (7K) grow
Resource (IR) grow self (Yi). This give them a very strong flow of support.
Bing (HO) is the key to their chart, they need happiness in their life. They need to share their happiness and tell people about their achievement.
Being the first in line does have its perk, you got to be independents and attemp everything first hand. Its among the more easier character to assess.
Jia wood sitting on Gui water the Direct Resource. Jia being a progressive element, the person has a natural tendency to peruse growth. They will find way to
survive as long as resource is available. Water being the representation of wisdom and direct resource are knowledge. This person is wonderfully brilliant. They
have this not to give up attitude, ever waiting for opportunity to progress and grow.
They are loner because their environment are lonely. In their intellectual world, they may not be able to see other eye to eye. This isolation make them cold.
They have a strong tendency to be reliant to their mother the proverbial momie boy. They love and cherish friend and family visiting their home, this is their
Zi form a combination with Chou that consist of Xin (DO), Ji (DW) & Gui (DR). For both male and female, relationship with partner is good, but need to
accommodate the mother coming along with the ride. Wealth and power come to them as well, they make good manager and earn stable income.
Zi form a clash with Wu and repel Ding (HO) & Ji (DW). For male the relationship turn a little distance. Female will be very loyal to the partner. Career is a
little unstable because they put intellectual value above monetary value. Sometimes they dont want to give up their knowledge as they see the receiver as
unworthy.
Overall the male counterpart is more confuse, on one hand whan wealth on the other think its unworthy of the fortune. They can make ends meet but dont
progress to far, its a low ambition person and bosses usually love them, since they are low threat to a corporate politic game.
To be effective, their chart need to have a Bing (EG) present to move their knowledge into something more concrete. Generous sharing and a little warm in their
heart.

sun, so it take 60 earth years for Saturn to make a full spin over the sun. Ancient people called Jupiter as Grand Duke and hence has attache actual generals
persona to each 60 of them. BaZi do not per-say used the grand duke in their reading but your pillar does made out of one of these 60 pillars. People has found
way to summarized the different characteristic of the 60 pillars and actually make reading a little convenience. You can now actually look at a pillar and give out
some fairly valid reading, but provided your brain can remember the 60 different persona and how they react when fall into different pillar (Year, Month, Day,
Hour)
Following are the 60 pairs it begin with Jia Zi and end with Gui Chou. We would usually split them into the 6 army of Jia. Each row downward is the
representation of the King (Jia) and his subject. So anyone with a pillar that is in the same group will naturally work better together. This is actually a method
used to find compatibility. If you are looking for a working partner and let say your month pillar (Work/Business) is Ji Hai and your partner happen to be Ren
Yin, then both of you are in the same group and hence can work together.
Recently (2015), this 60 pillars method is gaining popularity over the conventional 10 gods method of reading since it give instant gratification. One look and
you get the reading almost amazingly done. They have also made this 60 pillars into pictorial form to even strengthen the speed as a picture show a thousand
word. Personally i used this as party trick, since its quick and dirty and provided enough information to deliver a WOW ! factor. Then again, you really need to
have a good memory to commit all the 60 pillars reading into your brain.
Over time ill write on each of the pillars. Since, you should notice that i only write during public holiday, this may take me over 1 year to finish. Have patience,
