What is in the report
Chapter 1. Who am I?
Centred on your Day Master — the character that is you — we look at your outside and inside, the strengths and weak spots you were born with, and the big frame of your life.
- Who am I, in a word? The heavenly stem of your birth day (the Day Master) is you in saju. Comparing it to something in nature is the traditional way of reading it.
- How others see me, and who I am inside The month pillar is society and work; the day branch is your inner self and partner's seat. The Ten Gods on the month stem and day branch split outside from inside.
- Strengths and weak spots I was born with The stems and main branch characters of your eight characters (excluding the Day Master) are counted in five Ten God groups. The largest group is your strength, the shadow of a group with three or more is your weak spot, and a group with none is what to fill.
- The big frame of my life (structure) The structure is set by the energy of the month branch that shows in a stem.
Chapter 2. The balance of your chart
How evenly the five elements are spread, whether your Day Master is strong, and so which energy brings you to life (your useful element).
- The balance of my five elements The bars are element shares including hidden stems, weighted by season. Characters are counted over the eight (six without a birth time) stems and branches.
- Is my Day Master strong? Judged by a combined score of 43 (50 is the middle) from the strength of the birth month, the day branch and the rest of the chart. Near the boundary, both tendencies may show.
- The energy that brings me to life (useful element) Set by climate balance (調候) from the Qiong Tong Bao Jian (壬庚甲). Climate and strength balance point to different elements, so one was chosen first by birth season.
- Using my useful element in daily life Traditional colour, direction, season and work correspondences of your useful element, and the Heavenly Noble found from your Day Master.
Chapter 3. Where am I now?
In saju, the season changes every ten years (10-year luck). Which season you are standing in, and how to use it compared with the decades before and after.
- The big flow of my life A cycle's flow score depends on whether its stem (40%) and branch (60%) are useful, favourable or unfavourable for you, and the combinations and clashes it makes with your chart. 50 is average.
- Your current cycle The current cycle is found by age. By tradition, a cycle's stem weighs more in the first five years and its branch in the last five.
- The last decade and the next Flow scores and stem Ten Gods of the cycles before and after are compared. The years around a change of cycle are called the turning period (交運期).
- How to make the most of this cycle What gains strength in this decade, and its shadow, come from the Ten God of the cycle's stem (Indirect Resource, Resource).
Chapter 4. This year and beyond
Within the big season (10-year luck), each year and each month has its own grain. This year's place, the next five years and twelve months, and what to do now.
- This year for me Read from the Ten Gods of the year's stem and branch, clashes and combinations with the cycle, and the flow (year 65% · 10-year 35%).
- The next five years Each year's flow (year 65% · 10-year 35%) and change index (clashes, punishments and combinations with your chart). Good is a flow of 62+; careful is under 36, or a change of 75+ with a flow under 50.
- The next twelve months A month with a flow (month 50% · year 30% · 10-year 20%) of 66+, or with your useful element at 62+, is good; under 34, or with a day-branch clash under 40, is slow.
- What I need right now The Ten God of the cycle's stem (the decade's task), the Ten God of the year's stem (this year's task) and your useful element (the habit) are layered together.
How is this different from other readings?
This report is not text an AI made up to sound convincing. Our almanac engine calculates your birth chart, 10-year luck, annual and monthly luck from the exact solar terms and your birthplace's time zone, and traditional saju rules choose each answer. The same chart always gets the same answer, and "How we calculated this" under every answer shows the reason. If you want to go further, Master Han, our AI saju reader, can answer questions using the report's reasoning.

Who am I, in a word?
You are like the jewel
Your Day Master — the character that stands for you — is 辛 Xin Metal. Xin Metal is the jewel and refined gold: precise, elegant and valuable. A Xin Day Master has high standards, a fine aesthetic sense and quiet self-respect.
How we calculated this
The heavenly stem of your birth day (the Day Master) is you in saju. Comparing it to something in nature is the traditional way of reading it.
How others see me, and who I am inside
Outside, easy to talk to and full of talent; inside, someone who is strict with themselves
The face you show in society (month stem, Eating God) is easy to talk to and full of talent. People meeting you for the first time tend to remember you this way.
The inner self only close people know (day branch, Direct Officer) is someone who is strict with themselves. Inside, your sense of responsibility and your standards are high. You keep the rules even when nobody is watching, so you tend to carry tension alone.
Your outside and inside differ, so the longer people know you, the more new sides they see.
How we calculated this
The month pillar is society and work; the day branch is your inner self and partner's seat. The Ten Gods on the month stem and day branch split outside from inside.
2026 (丙午 Bing Wu) for me
A year when responsibility and position grow (flow 37)
This year's stem is Direct Officer to you, and its branch Seven Killings. Honour and rules is this year's theme.
The decade's theme is "a decade to learn and fill up", this year's is "a year when responsibility and position grow". The year's grain sits on top of the big current.
See the Year Ahead report for month-by-month and area-by-area detail.
How we calculated this
Read from the Ten Gods of the year's stem and branch, clashes and combinations with the cycle, and the flow (year 65% · 10-year 35%).
