Birthday horoscopes, or eight characters, are actually another version of the four pillars in the Zhouyi terminology A statement. The four pillars refer to the time of birth, namely year, month, day and hour. Humans use one word each for heavenly stems and earthly branches to express year, month, day and time, such as Jiazi year, Bingshen month, Xinchou day, Renyin time, etc. Each column has two characters, and four columns have eight characters, so fortune telling is also called "testing eight characters". According to the relationship between the heavenly stems, earthly branches, yin and yang and the five elements' attributes, we can speculate on the faults, misfortunes and blessings of the human body. But what we are going to talk about here is not how to "test the horoscope", but how to calculate the horoscope.
The four pillars are arranged in eight characters.
The four pillars refer to the year, month, day and time of a person's birth. The arrangement of the four pillars refers to finding out a person's birth date and horoscope. It is mainly carried out in four steps.
Near Column
The Nian Column, that is, the year a person is born is represented by the stems and branches. Note that the dividing line between the previous year and the next year is based on the intersection moment of the Beginning of Spring. divided by the first day of the first lunar month. For example, someone was born at 22:17 on February 4, 2000 in the solar calendar. Since the beginning of spring in the lunar calendar in 2000 is 20:32 in the solar calendar, February 4, 2000, this person's The Year Pillar is the Gengchen of 2000, not the Mao of 1999.
The Moon Pillar
The Moon Pillar uses 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.

Arrange the Sun Column
In the third year of the reign of Duke Yin of Lu (722 B.C.) Since the 2nd day of February, our country has never stopped keeping track of the zodiac signs. This is the only longest diary recording method known to human society so far.
The sun pillar, that is, using the lunar calendar The stems and branches represent the day when a person is born. The stems and branches record the day cycle every sixty days. Due to the different sizes of months and leap years, the daily stems and branches need to be searched in the perpetual calendar.
In addition, the dividing line between the day and the day It is divided by the sub-hour, that is, before eleven o'clock is the Hai hour of the previous day, and after eleven o'clock it is the sub-hour of the next day. Do not think that midnight is the dividing point of the day.
Arrange the hour column
The hour column uses the 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.
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 a.m. Si: 9 o'clock - 11 a.m.
Noon: 11 o'clock - 13 a.m. Noon: 13 o'clock - 15 a.m.

Take a friend of mine as an example: My friend was born on August 27, 1984, and this year is the year of Jiazi (found in the book); according to the formula of the Liyuezhu song, it can be seen that the heavenly stem of his year is Jia, Therefore, the month is headed by B, so his moon pillar is Guiyou; correspondingly, his sun pillar is Guisi (found in the book); and his hour pillar is known from the poem of hour pillar: Guisi is the day stem hour, When Ren is paired with a child, the hour pillar should be Wuchen. In this way, his birth date is determined: "Jiazi, Guiyou, Guisi, Wuchen".
Children are the hope of every parent. As soon as a baby is born, there is an accurate time, year, month, day and hour, which is what the ancients often called the birth date. These eight characters include the birth date of a person. The basic state of the movement of celestial bodies at that time also contains a person's future destiny.
To get the correct time of birth, it is most accurate to measure it with a sundial during the day.
Clock time is artificial mean time and regional standard time. The "true solar time difference" must be calculated based on solar terms (solar longitude) and the "local longitude time difference" based on the place of birth to obtain the true astronomical time of birth.
How to predict Yezi hour (is it appropriate?):
Yezi hour is different from Zhengzi hour, and the method of inferring it is also slightly different. The time for checking the child starts from eleven o'clock at night and ends at one o'clock. Those who give birth between eleven and twelve o'clock at night are at midnight. When this time is the son of tonight, it belongs to today. After twelve o'clock, it's tomorrow. The so-called midnight hour refers to today's night, not tomorrow's morning. Zhengzi time is tomorrow's morning, not today's night. There are two o'clock in an hour, the first o'clock is Ye Zi, and the next o'clock is Zheng Zi. The method of escaping Qian is slightly different from that of when the sun rises. It is necessary to add another one after Dunde Haishi.
Example: If in the year Bingwu, in the month Gengyin, on the day Yichou, after eleven o'clock and before twelve o'clock, Yezi occurs. The song says: Yi, Geng, and B are the beginning. It is the time of Day Yi (Zhengzi) to escape from Bingzi, in order Dingchou, Wuyin, Jimao, Gengchen, Xinsi, Guiwei, Jiashen, Yiyou, Bingxu, Dinghai, at midnight it must be Wuzi.
"Ke Ze Lecture Notes": Every eleven fifty-nine minutes, fifty-nine seconds and fifty-nine microseconds in the afternoon is the night child, which belongs to Yin; it is the first four quarters, the original forehead of the sun. If it starts after twelve o'clock and ends within one o'clock, it will be early tomorrow and the next four quarters will be in Yang, which will not be easy for ten thousand years.
Since ancient times, when Jiazi starts from Jiazhi, Yezi’s original Jiazi is the same, so it’s okay to add Yezi
