A conceptual map of the BaZi structural dynamics system
Celebrity Charts
Explore the BaZi structures of historical and contemporary figures — see how the Four Pillars map out distinct life patterns.
Clash · Combination · Harm · Punishment
A unified model of four structural forces. Six Clashes (phase reversal), Six Combinations (convergence), Six Harms (chronic rhythm drift), Three Punishments (internal loop).
Four Pillars
Year (World Background), Month (Default Mode), Day (Experience Lens), Hour (Inner Direction) — how four temporal dimensions together form a structural map.
Five Elements
The generative and controlling cycles of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water — the foundational language of energy flow.
Heavenly Stems
Jiǎ through Guǐ — the elemental qualities, structural nature, and behavioral patterns of each of the ten Heavenly Stems.
Core Self
The Day Stem — the structural anchor of the BaZi chart. All ten relational roles are defined relative to the Core Self: who you are determines what supports you and what challenges you.
Earthly Branches
Zǐ through Hài — the field qualities, hidden stems, and energy layers of each of the twelve Earthly Branches.
Relational Roles
BiJian, JieCai, ShiShen — structural definitions, behavioral patterns, and phase themes for each of the ten relational roles.
Chart Patterns
Reading structural pattern types from a BaZi chart — where the Day Master sits in the overall energy field and what supports it.
Luck Cycles & Annual Pillars
Major Luck Pillars shift every decade; Annual Pillars change each year. How two temporal layers interact with the natal chart structure.
Solar Terms
How the 24 solar terms define month pillar boundaries and why true solar time matters for accurate chart calculation.
