Part 1: Major Factors in Bazi Reading

  1. Daily Master

    • Represents the true self
    • Central aspect in chart readings
    • Described as "Daily Stem"
    • Governs the whole chart
    • Influences personality and behavior
    • Structure of the Bazi chart:
      • Yearly Pillar: Root (ancestors and foundation)
      • Monthly Pillar: Sprout (parents and growth environment)
      • Daily Pillar: Flower (self and partner)
      • Hourly Pillar: Fruit (children and offspring)
    • Daily Master sits between the past (Year and Month) and future (Hour).
    • Approximately 50% of personality based on Daily Master
    • Example: Jia Wood (Yang Wood)
      • Represents spring energy, initiating force, motivation, natural leadership
      • Related organs: Liver and Gallbladder
      • Possible tendencies: "Wood Yang Excess" or "Wood Yin Deficiency"

  2. Dominant Energy

    • Second major factor in reading Bazi
    • Represents the strongest 5 elements in the chart
    • Influences the Daily Master
    • Determines the relationship between Daily Master and other characters in the chart
    • Visual representation:
      • Daily Master at the center
      • Other elements positioned in a 5 Element cycle
    • Ideal state: All 5 Elements equally powered (balance and harmony)
    • Imbalance creates unique individuality but can lead to personality and health issues

      • Broken Wood: Weak chart with strong Earth
