What do the Eight Characters of Birth refer to?

Numerology, also known as the four pillars also known as eight characters, refers to the time of birth of a person, that is, the year, month, day, time. In the people with the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branches each out of a word to match respectively to indicate the year, month, day, time, such as the year of the son of a, c wu month, xin chou day, nonyin, etc., each column of two words, four columns **** eight, so four columns of prediction is also known as the "batch of eight," "eight", also known as the four columns of the push life. According to the heavenly stem, the earthly branches of the yin and yang five elements of the attributes of the phases of life, the relationship between the grams, speculate on the person's good fortune or bad luck. If you understand the mystery, then your own bazi is also completely possible.

There are ten heavenly stems: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, C, N, and K. The earthly stems are the "eight" stems.

There are twelve Earthly Branches: Zi, U, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Huxu, Hai.

The two order with can produce sixty units, called the sixty Azi. That the birth of the year, month, day, time respectively, with the heavenly stem, the earthly branches with to say, there are exactly eight words, so called the birth of eight characters, also called it is a person's four pillars.

Specifically described as follows:

One, the row of the year column

Year column, that is, the year of birth of the person with the dry branch to indicate. Note: The dividing line between the previous year and the next year is divided by the moment of the intersection of the day of spring, rather than the first day of the first month of the division. For example, if a person was born at 22:17 on February 4, 2000, due to the intersection of Lunar Year 2000 and the beginning of Spring is at 20:32 on February 4, 2000, the person's year will be Gengchen in 2000, not 1999, which is the first day of the month.

Second, row month column

Month column, that is, the use of the stem and branch of the year of birth of the person in the month of the festival. Note that the month of the dry branch is not the first day of the lunar month as the dividing line, but to the festival prevail, before the festival for the previous month's festival, after the festival for the next month's festival.

The lunar calendar in November for the month of son, December for the month of ugly, January for the month of Yin, the following in turn for the month of February, March, month of chen, April, month of Si, May, month of noon, June, month of un, July, month of Shen, month of August, month of You, month of September, month of Gushu, October, month of Ohio. However, the month of December is different in what the Sagittarians call December, which is marked by the twenty-fourth solar term.

In this way, as long as you know what month of the lunar calendar your birthday is in, you know the earth's branch of your birth month.

Three, row day column

Day column, that is, the lunar calendar of the dry branch on behalf of the day of birth. Stem and branch of the day every sixty days a cycle, due to the size of the month and leap year different reasons, the day stem and branch need to find the almanac. In addition, the day and the day of the demarcation line is divided into hours, that is, before eleven o'clock is the last day of the Ohio time, after eleven o'clock is the next day of the Zi time. And don't think that 12:00 midnight is the dividing point of the day.

The calculation of the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the birthday is very complicated. It is set by the ancient phrenologists of a certain day's stem and then pushed down in order. The only way to find out the stem and branch of the birthday is to check the almanac, and it is the almanac that compares the lunar and solar calendars. If you don't know how many birthdays are lunar, you can check the almanac.

Four, row time column

Time column, with the dry branch of the human birth hour. An hour in the lunar calendar across two hours, so a day **** twelve hours.

Zi Shi: 23:00 - 1:00 a.m.

U Shi: 1:00 - 3:00 a.m.

In Shi: 3:00 - 5:00 a.m.

Mao Shi: 5:00 - 7:00 a.m.

You Shi:17:00 - 19:00 pm

Hu Shi:19:00 - 21:00 pm

Hai Shi:21:00 - 23:00 pm

The stem of the birth hour can be introduced by the stem of the birthday. In ancient times, the day was divided into twelve hours, corresponding to the twelve earthly branches, exactly two hours now is an hour. Late at night from 23:00 to 1:00 a.m. is Zi Shi, from 1:00 to 3:00 is Ugly, from 3:00 to 5:00 is Yin Shi, from 11:00 to 13:00 is Noon, from 13:00 to 15:00 is Unsettled, from 15:00 to 17:00 is Shen Shi, from 17:00 to 19:00 is You Shi, from 19:00 to 21:00 is Gushu Shi, and from 21:00 to 23:00 is Oh Shi. These are the earth branches of the birth time. The Heavenly Stem of the birth hour is derived from the Heavenly Stem of the birthday.

Fifth, from the eight characters of the birthdate to see whether the five elements are deficient

Knowing the eight characters of the birthdate, you can deduce the five elements. In general, as long as the five elements in the eight characters are even, they are all good. If the Heavenly Stem of the Day Lord is too small or too many of it are too much, it is not good, but if the Day Lord is too much and there are too many of it are born, it is not good if it is in full bloom. Then to determine what the five elements in the eight characters are lacking, what they have too much of or what they use to restrain them, you need to carefully analyze the five elements in the birth chart.

In the ten heavenly stems, A, B is wood, C, D is fire, W, F is earth, G, C is gold, N, D is water. Twelve Earthly Branches, Yin, Mao is wood, Si, Wu is fire, Shen, You is gold, Oh, Zi is water, eons, garrisons, ugliness, unearthly. In this way, according to the eight characters of the birth, you can project what is missing in your life. Only when all five elements are present, will your destiny prosper.

Example:

For example, if someone is born in the year of Ding Chou, the month of Dec Chou, the day of Prop Wu, the time of Ding You. According to the correspondence between the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches and the Five Elements mentioned earlier, Ding is Fire, Chou is Earth, Chou is Water, Chou is Earth, C is Fire, Noon is Fire, D is Fire, You is Gold, the Eight Characters are four fire, two earth, one water and one gold, the Heavenly Stem of the Day Master is C Fire, born in the month of Chou, i.e., the month of winter and December, then according to the table above, the most deficient thing is wood, but these Eight Characters are four fire, and the Heavenly Stem of the Day Master is very strong, and the deficiency of wood is not much. If the year, month, day the same, and was born in wu zi time, then the eight characters are three fire, three earth and two water, lack of wood and lack of gold.
