Numerology, also known as the Four Pillars or the Eight Characters, refers to the time when a person is born, that is, the year, month, day, and hour. Humans use one word each for heavenly stems and earthly branches to express the year, month, day, and time respectively, such as Jiazi year, Bingwu month, Xinchou day, Renyin time, etc. Each column has two characters, and four columns have eight characters, so Four-pillar prediction is also called "Bazi Bazi", "Testing Bazi", and also called Four-pillar prediction. According to the relationship between the heavenly stems, earthly branches, yin and yang, and the five elements' attributes, we can predict the good, bad, and bad luck of people. If you understand the secret, it is entirely possible to make your own horoscopes.
There are ten Heavenly Stems: A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, and Gui.
There are twelve earthly branches: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai.
The combination of the two in sequence can produce sixty units, called sixty Jiazi. The year, month, day, and hour of the birth are represented by the heavenly stems and the earth's dominance and combination respectively. There are exactly eight characters, so it is called the birth date, and it is also called the four pillars of human beings.
The specific introduction is as follows:
1. The year column
The year column, that is, the year of a person’s birth is represented by the stems and branches. Note: The dividing line between the previous year and the next year is divided by the intersection of the Beginning of Spring, not the first day of the first lunar month. For example, someone was born at 22:17 on February 4, 2000 in the Gregorian calendar. Since the beginning of spring in the year 2000 in the lunar calendar is 20:32 in the Gregorian calendar, February 4, 2000, the person's year column is Gengchen in 2000, not The year 1999 is over.
2. Arrange the Moon Pillars
The Moon Pillars use the stems and branches to represent the season of the year and month in which a person was born. Note that the dividing line between the lunar stems and branches is not based on the first day of each month in the lunar calendar, but based on the festival. Before the festival, it is the festival of the previous month, and after the festival, it is the festival of the next month.
According to the lunar calendar, November is the Zi month, December is the Chou month, and January is the Yin month. The following are the Mao month in February, the Chen month in March, the Si month in April, and the Wu month in May. , the last month of June, the Shen month of July, the You month of August, the Shu month of September, and the Hai month of October. But what the fortune teller calls December is different, it is marked by the twenty-four solar terms.
In this way, as long as you know the lunar month of your birthday, you will know the earthly branch of the birth month.
3. Arrange the Sun Pillar
The Sun Pillar uses the stems and branches of the lunar calendar to represent the day a person was born. The stems and branches record a day cycle every sixty days. Due to the large and small months and leap years, For different reasons, the daily stems and branches need to be found in the perpetual calendar. In addition, the dividing line between days is divided by sub-hour, that is, before eleven o'clock is the Hai hour of the previous day, and after eleven o'clock is the sub-hour of the next day. Do not think that midnight is the sub-hour of the day. dividing point.
The calculation of the celestial stems and earthly branches of the birthday is very complicated. It was determined by ancient fortune-tellers who determined the stems and branches of a certain day and then pushed them down one by one. To know the stems and branches of your birthday, you can only look up the perpetual calendar, and it is a perpetual calendar that compares the lunar and solar calendars. If you don’t know the lunar calendar date of your birthday, you can check the perpetual calendar.
4. Arrange the Hour Column
The hour column uses stems and branches to represent the hour of birth. An hour spans two hours in the lunar calendar, so there are twelve hours in a day hour.
Zi hour: 23 o'clock - 1 am
Chou hour: 1 o'clock - 3 am
Yin hour: 3 o'clock - 5 am
Mao hour: 5 o'clock--7 am
Chen hour: 7 o'clock--9 am
Si hour: 9 o'clock--11 am
Noon hour: 11 o'clock - 13 am
Late hour: 13 o'clock - 15 pm
Shen hour: 15 o'clock - 17 am
You hour: 17 o'clock - 19pm
Xushi: 19:00 - 21pm
Haishi: 21:00 - 23pm
The stems and branches of the birth can be derived from the stems and branches of the birthday . In ancient times, a day was divided into twelve hours, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches. It happens that now two hours are one hour. Late at night from 23 o'clock to 1 o'clock in the morning is Zi time, from 1 o'clock to 3 o'clock is Chou time, from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock is Yin time, from 11 o'clock to 13 o'clock is noon time, from 13 o'clock to 15 o'clock is Wei time, and from 15 o'clock to 17 o'clock is Shen Shi, 17:00 to 19:00 is Unity Time, 19:00 to 21:00 is Guard Time, and 21:00 to 23:00 is Hai Shi. These are the earthly branches during birth. The Heavenly Stem at birth is calculated from the Heavenly Stem at birth.
5. Determine whether the five elements are missing based on the birth date and horoscope
Knowing the birth date and horoscope, you can infer the situation of the five elements. Generally speaking, as long as the five elements in the horoscope are even, it is a good fortune. If the heavenly stem of the sun lord is too small or there are too many things that restrain it, it is not good. But if there are too many sun lords and there are many things that produce it, and it flourishes but then declines, it is not good either. So to determine what the five elements in the horoscope are lacking, what is added, or what restraint is needed, you need to carefully analyze the five elements in the birth horoscope.
Among the ten heavenly stems, A and B belong to wood, Bing and Ding belong to fire, Wu and Ji belong to earth, Geng and Xin belong to metal, and Ren and Gui belong to water.
Among the twelve earthly branches, Yin and Mao belong to wood, Si and Wu belong to fire, Shen and You belong to metal, Hai and Zi belong to water, Chen, Shu, Chou and Wei belong to earth.

For example, if someone is born in the year of Ding Chou, the month of Guichou, the day of Bingwu, and the hour of Dingyou, then the person’s birth date is: Ding Chou, Guichou, Bingwu, Dingyou. According to the corresponding relationship between the heavenly stems and earthly branches and the five elements mentioned earlier, Ding belongs to fire, Chou belongs to earth, Gui belongs to water, Chou belongs to earth, Bing belongs to fire, Wu belongs to fire, Ding belongs to fire, and You belongs to metal. The eight characters are four fire and two Earth, water, and metal, the sun dominates the sky stem and is Bing fire. If you were born in Chou month, which is December in winter, then according to the above table, the most lacking thing is wood, but this horoscope is four fires, the sun dominates the sky stem is very strong, and the lack of wood will not help. many.
