The Four Pillars

四柱八字

A forty-part introduction to the system: the ten heavenly stems and twelve earthly branches, how a chart is built from a birth date and hour, and what the ten gods mean when they appear. Written for readers who have never seen a chart before.

01What a chart actually is四柱
02The ten heavenly stems十天干
03The twelve earthly branches十二地支
04Why four pillars and not three四柱之由
05The five elements and their cycles五行生克
06Reading the day stem first日元
07The ten gods十神
08Strength, and what it is not旺衰
09The luck pillars大运
10What the system cannot tell you所不能

We publish the system as a subject of study. We do not sell readings, and we do not claim that a chart determines what a person will do.
