Which is more important, fleeting time or earthly branch?

The Yellow Emperor combined ten branches and twelve branches to form sixty Jiazi, who recorded the year, month, day and time in turn. This year is the year of dead branches. Therefore, the heavenly stems are influenced by the earthly branches. Heavenly stems and earthly branches was formed by the ancients like heaven and earth, which refers to the movement of the sun, the moon and the stars and the changes of the four seasons. Therefore, when a person is born, there are information such as the position, season and orientation of the stars at birth, which have certain regularity and can be used to "infer" a person's wealth, so later generations have evolved it and become familiar with the four-pillar eight-character theory.

In the horoscope, the heavenly stems are above the sky, for heaven and for qi, so the heavenly stems in the horoscope are moving, not static. According to the Long Jing Qing Classic, when the sky moves, the sun, the moon and the stars change at four o'clock, and the high-altitude airflow interacts. Therefore, the heavenly stems in the eight characters are not affected by the "separation" of the four pillars, and can be mutually restricted, combined and generated at any time. As far as the relationship between heavenly stems and earthly branches is concerned, although we often think that there will be a relationship between branches of the same column, in the original eight-character theory, a heavenly stem can be related to any branch of the earth, which is caused by the constant movement of heavenly stems.
