How to read the Five Elements and Eight Characters

How to tell what the five elements belong to in a person’s birth date. When looking at the attributes of the five elements in a person’s birth date, you can mainly see the day stem of your birthday. The day stem represents yourself. 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.

How to determine a person’s five-element attributes based on his or her birth date is very simple. All you need to know is the day and day of your birth date.

For example: you were born at 17.30 on April 3, 2012 AD

Changed to horoscopes, it would be: Guimao month, Jiawu day, Guiyou hour, Renchen year

Self The attributes of the five elements depend on the sun and sky stem (Jiawu), and Jia is the sun and sky stem.

Armor is wood, so your five elements belong to wood.

If the heavenly stems are

A and B are wood

Bing and Ding are fire

Geng and Xin are gold

Ren and Gui For water

Jiwu is for earth

How to find out what the five elements of a person's birth date belong to. First, you need to know the person's birth date, birth time, birth area and other information. This is the prerequisite. condition.

Next, according to the birth information of this person, the accurate birth date and birth date are determined, and the Rizhu and Tiangan in the horoscope (that is, the fifth character in the horoscope) are, corresponding to the five-element attributes of the heavenly stem (the ten heavenly stems) Specifically: A and B represent wood, Bing and Ding represent fire, Wu and Ji represent earth, Geng and Xin represent gold, Ren and Gui represent water).

Here is an example to illustrate:

Assume that a woman was born at 4:20 a.m. on May 21, 1987 (Rabbit) year of the lunar calendar. The horoscope of birth date is: Dingmao, Bingwu, Bingshen, Gengyin. The Rizhu Tiangan in the birth date represents the owner of the life. The Rizhu Tiangan is C, and the five elements belong to Yang and Fire.

If you know your birth date, how do you know what the five elements belong to? Eight Chu: Gui Si Ji Wei Ding You Jia Chen = Ding Fire Ming;

Gui = Water

Si = Fire, Metal, and Earth

Ji = Earth

Wei = Earth, Fire, and Wood

Ding = Fire

You = Metal

Jia=Wood

Chen=Earth, Wood, Water

Eight characters and five elements: Fire=3; Earth=4; Metal=2; Water=2; Wood=3

How to look at yourself The theory of the Five Elements was also summarized by the ancients from life practice. They believe that everything in the world is composed of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and they have different manifestations in different things. For example, the five colors: green, red, yellow, white, and black; the five sounds: Jiao, Zheng, Gong, Shang, and Yu; the five flavors: sour, bitter, sweet, pungent, and salty; the five internal organs: liver, heart, spleen, lung, and kidney. Five emotions: joy, joy, desire, anger, sadness, five constants: benevolence, propriety, trust, righteousness, wisdom, etc. The five contents of each thing respectively show the order of the five elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. . The five elements have the order of generation, mutual generation and mutual restraint. The order of generation is wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. The order of mutual generation is wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. The order of mutual restraint is: water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water.

The combination of yin and yang and the five elements theory has become a theory used by the ancients to explain various natural and life phenomena. Divination and horoscopes are the activities of predicting the future. In ancient times, when productivity was low, it was more difficult to grasp personal destiny, and people wanted to know it even more. Astrology uses the theory of yin and yang and the five elements to explain a person's destiny. One of the main methods is to use birth date and horoscope to predict destiny. The so-called birth date refers to the year, month, day and time of birth represented by the heavenly stems and earthly branches. In the pre-Qin period, people only used the heavenly stems and earthly branches to record the day, but later, the year, month, day, and hour can be recorded using the heavenly stems and earthly branches. There are ten heavenly branches: A, B, B, 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 sequence of the two can produce sixty units, called sixty Jiazi. The year, month, day, and hour of the birth are represented by the combination of heavenly stems and earthly domination respectively. There are exactly eight characters, so they are called the birth date. The fortune teller also calls it the four pillars of human beings. There are also five elements in the birthday 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. In this way, based on your birth date and horoscope, you can figure out what is missing in your life. The ancients believed that only when all five elements are present can one's destiny be prosperous.

For modern people, it is no longer easy to determine their birth date, because most people remember their birthdays according to the solar calendar, which is the Gregorian calendar. So here I will introduce how to calculate the birth date from the Gregorian calendar birthday.

The celestial stems and earthly branches of the birth year represent the best ones to find. Its year is the lunar year, from the first day of the lunar month to the New Year's Eve. Just check the almanac. If there is no almanac for the current year, you can work backwards based on this year's almanac. After knowing this year's Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, you can refer to the Sixty Years Table in Section 2 of Chapter 2 of this book and work backwards. For example, from New Year's Eve in 1998 to New Year's Eve in 1999 is the year of Wuyin, then by inference we can see that 1997 is the year of Dingchou, 1996 is the year of Bingzi, 1995 is the year of Yihai, 1994 is the year of Jiashu, etc.

It is not difficult to calculate the celestial stems and earthly branches of the birth month. In 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 of February, the Chen month of March, the Si month of April, the noon month of May, the Wei month of June, and the seventh month. Yueshen month, You month in August, Shu month in September, Hai month in October. But what the fortune teller calls December is different, it is marked by the twenty-four solar terms. Every year, the day from the beginning of spring to the day of Jingsheng is January, that is, the Yin month, the day from Qingming to Qingming is the month of February, the month of March, the day from Qingming to the beginning of summer is the month of March, the day from the beginning of summer to the day of Mangzhong is the month of April, and the time from the day of Mangzhong to Xiaoshu is the month of May. The midday month from mild summer to the beginning of autumn is the last month of June, the beginning of autumn to the white dew is the shen month of July, the white dew to the cold dew is the unitary month of August, the cold dew to the beginning of winter is the ninth month, the beginning of winter solstice and the heavy snow are the tenth month, and the heavy snow solstice is the ninth month. Xiaohan is the twelfth lunar month, and Xiaohan to the beginning of spring is the twelfth lunar month. In this way, as long as you know the lunar month of your birthday, you will know the earthly branch of the birth month. What to do with the Heavenly Stem of the birth month? There is a table here. The first row is the heavenly stems of each year, and the vertical columns are the earthly branches of each month. The table lists the heavenly stems of each month:

How can you determine the five elements of your birth date? First of all, you need to know your birth date and exact hour. Then find a perpetual calendar and find out the stems and branches of the year, month and day of your birth based on the perpetual calendar.

Attached: The electronic perpetual calendar compares the stems and branches one by one according to the following table: Five Elements/Heavenly Stems/Earthly Branches Comparison Table Heavenly stems: A-wood, B-wood, B-fire, Ding-fire, Wu-earth, Ji-earth, Geng-gold, Xin - Metal, Ren - Water, Gui - Water Earthly Branches: Zi - Water, Chou - Earth, Yin - Wood, Mao - Wood, Chen - Earth, Si - Fire, Wu - Fire, Wei - Earth, Shen - Metal, You - Metal, Xu - Earth, Hai - Water Then use the following table to calculate your hour stems and branches based on the first stem and branch of your birth day: Hour Stem and Branch Calculation Table Time Hour Five Elements Date Stem and Branch Jia Ji Yi Geng C Xin Ding Ren Wu Gui 23-01 Zi/Shui Jiazi Bingzi Wuzi Gengzi Renzi 01-03 Chou/Tu Yi Chou Ding Chou Ji Chou Xin Chou Guichou 03-05 Yin/Wood Bing Yin Wu Yin Geng Yin Ren Yin Yin Jiayin 05-07 Mao / Wood Ding Mao Ji Mao Noon 13-15 Wei/Tu Xin Wei Gui Wei Yi Wei Ding Wei Ji Wei 15-17 Shen/Jin Ren Shen Jia Shen Bing Shen Wu Shen Geng Shen 17-19 You/Jin Gui Youyi Yi You Ding You Ji You Xin You 19-21 Wu/Tu Jia Xu Bing Xu Wuxu, Geng, Xu, Renxu, 21-23 Hai/Water, Yihai, Dinghai, Jihai, Xinhai and Guihai. The first stem and branch of your birth date is which life you belong to. If there is no one of the five elements listed, the one is missing. Let’s take an example: For example, you were born after 7 a.m. on April 3, 1980 (Gregorian calendar). According to the perpetual calendar, it was found that: April 3, 1980, February 18 of the lunar calendar, the year of Gengshen, the month of Jimao, and the day of Bingwu. On Bing Wu day, if the five elements corresponding to B are fire, then this person is a fire person. Find the column corresponding to C under the date stem and branch of the hour stem and branch table. According to the time on the left after 7 a.m., it is: Chen/Tu, and the intersecting column is: Ren Chen. Let's compare this person's birth date with the five elements: after 7 a.m. on April 3, 1980, Geng - Jin Ji - Tu Bing - Huo Ren - Shui Shen - Jin Mao - Mu Wu - Huo Chen - Earth. This person is a fire Fate, the five elements are not lacking. (Wood, fire, earth, metal, and water are all included) The law of the five elements is: wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood. The law of mutual restraint among the five elements is: wood overcomes earth, earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, and metal overcomes wood. Jiazi, Yi, Chou, gold in the sea, Bingyin, Dingmao, fire in the furnace, Wuchen is already there, big forest, Gengwu, Xinwei, roadside, earth, Wuyin is already Mao, city head, soil, Gengchen, Xinsi, termites, gold, Renwu, Guiwei, willow, Renshen, Guiyou, sword edge, gold, Jiaxu, Yihai, soil on the house, Bingzi, Dingchou, water in the stream. The water in the Jia Shen Yi You spring is Bing Xu Ding Hai. The earth on the house is already ugly. Thunderbolt fire Geng Yin Mao pines and cypresses wood Ren Chen Gui has long flowing water. The water in Jia Wu Yi Wei sand is gold Bing Shen Ding You. The fire at the bottom of the mountain is Wuxu already flat earth wood Geng Zi Xin Chou. The soil on the wall is Ren Chen Gui. Gold foil, gold, armor, and Chen have been covered with lights, Bingwu, Ding, Wei, Tianhe, water, Wushen, already unitary, Dayan, earth, Gengxu, Xinhai, hairpin, gold, Renzi, Guichou, mulberry, wood, Jiayin, Yimao, big stream, water, Bingchen, Dingsi, sand, earth, Wuwu, have not yet, fire in the sky, Gengshen, Xinyou. The pomegranate, wood, Renxu, Guihai, and the sea have the final say each year on what belongs to the five elements. It does not mean that one zodiac sign belongs to one of the five elements. life/ *** .asp

How to read the birth date? As we all know, the ancients used the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to record years. A person's eight characters are actually the eight Chinese characters used to record the year: year, month, day, and hour. Each of the four characters is represented by one heavenly stem and one earthly branch. There are eight characters in each: four heavenly stems and four earthly branches. For example, this year 2010, we say it is the Year of the Tiger. Yin is the heavenly stem and tiger is the earthly branch. Each heavenly stem and each earthly branch has corresponding attributes of the five elements.

?So to see if there are any missing elements in a person’s horoscope, we need to analyze whether there is something missing in the five elements corresponding to the four heavenly stems and the four earthly branches that make up the horoscope. For example, these four heavenly stems and the four The five elements of fire are not included in the earthly branches, so there is a lack of fire in the horoscope or a lack of fire in the fortune.

? Let’s explain the five elements attributes of the heavenly stems and earthly branches: A and B are wood, representing the east

? C and D are fire, representing the south

? Wu, Ji is earth, representing the center

? Geng and Xin are gold, representing the west

? Ren and Gui are water, representing the north

? (List 1)

The five elements of the earthly branches are not so easy to see, because there are often one, two, or at most three heavenly stems hidden in the earthly branches. The heavenly stems hidden in such earthly branches are also called " "Zhi*** Yuan" takes the meaning of "Heavenly stems are the Yuan of Heaven, earthly branches are the Yuan of the Earth, and humans are between heaven and earth", so it is called Human Yuan.

?The above means that an earthly branch is often a mixture of several five elements. Let’s talk about the issue of the earthly branches and hidden stems, that is, to see which heavenly stems are hidden in each earthly branch. Which five elements are hidden? Yin Zhong Zang: A, B, Wu

? Mao Zhong Zang: Yi

? Chen Zhong Zang: Wu, Yi, Gui

? Si Zhongzang: Bing, Geng, Wu

? Wuzhong Zang: Ding, Ji

? Weizhong Zang: Ji, Ding, Yi

? Shen Zhongzang: Geng, Ren, Wu

? You Zhongzang: Xin

? Xu Zhongzang: Wu, Xin, Ding

? Haizhong Zang : Ren, Jia

? Hidden in Zi: Gui

? Hidden in Chou: Ji, Gui, Xin

? (List 2)

Note: In the list of earthly branches and hidden stems above, the first heavenly stem is also called the "original Qi" of the earthly branches. Simply put, it is the five elements that play a dominant role. It is said that the five elements of the original energy account for the proportion of the earthly branches The largest proportion. ? The truth is clearly explained. Let’s look at an example below to make it clear:

? Suppose a child was born at the moment when I write the article: 18:48 on March 3, 2010

?Check the perpetual calendar (or calculate the horoscope online) and you will know that the child’s horoscope is:

?Gengyin Wuyin Renzi Jiyou

?That is to say, this person Born on: Gengyin year, Wuyin month, Renzi day, Jiyou time (2010-3-3-18)

? Among them, the day stem, which is the day stem "Jia" of Jiaxu day, represents the heavenly stem The child himself, the five elements of this child belong to wood, because the armor belongs to wood.

Let’s take a look at the five elements of the four heavenly stems: Geng, Wu, Ren, and Ji. Looking at Table 1, we know that they belong to gold, earth, water, and earth respectively.

? Let’s look at the four earthly branches: Yin, Yin, Zi, and You. Check List 2: Yin has Jia, B, and E. Take the original Qi and check List 1. Jia is wood, so Yin belongs to wood. . Zi only contains: Gui, Gui is water, so Zi belongs to water. You only have: Xin, Xin is gold, so You belongs to gold.

Taking a comprehensive look at the four heavenly stems and earthly branches above, we get: 2 earth 2 water 2 metal 2 wood At this time, we will find that the five elements only lack the top! Therefore, we say that a child born at this time lacks fire. If you calculate that they are missing one of them, that means they are missing X in the Five Elements

? Through this example, I believe most people will know how to judge whether the Five Elements are missing. Just look for a perpetual calendar (or in Just enter the birthday time in the online ranking program) and find the corresponding horoscope (four heavenly stems and four earthly branches). This is a simple table lookup task. I believe everyone can do it.

?Speaking of this, I have to mention a problem. When many numerology masters look at people’s horoscopes to judge whether the five elements are deficient, they often only look at the nature of the earthly branches when judging the earthly branches. , which will cause misjudgment.

For example, when these numerologists see Yin, they think that Yin belongs to wood (because Yin’s natural energy is A, and A belongs to wood) and ignore the fire and earth hidden in Yin.

So if according to this view, a person originally lacks everything in his horoscope, but these fortune tellers think that this person lacks certain five elements, this point must attract everyone's attention, and everyone will be able to tell the difference after reading this article. There is another issue that needs attention, that is: it does not mean that if a person's horoscope lacks any of the five elements, he must make up for these five elements. This view is wrong. Accurate...gt;gt;

How do you know what the five elements belong to? The same person has different attributes of the five elements. What is going on? In fact, both statements are correct, because in terms of horoscope numerology, there have been two views of the five elements (original author: Jiangnan Yilin) ??in history.

Let us first assume that there is such a horoscope (regardless of gender):

Year, month, day and hour

Wuzi Wuwu Renwu Dingwei

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. In fact, the so-called eight characters are very simple. They just use the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches such as A, B, C, D, Zi, Chou, Yin and Mao to record time. For example, today, June 11, 2008, corresponds to the Wuwu month of the Wuzi year. Renwu day. For example, we are familiar with the Reform Movement of 1898 and the Revolution of 1911. These 1891 Reform and 1911 Revolution are all examples of using the stems and branches to record the year.

The first method is to listen to the five elements. This was in the early development of the Bazi theory, mainly during the Tang Dynasty (the representative master of this period was Li Zhongxu, whose masterpiece was "Li Zhongxu's Ming Shu", and the great writer Han Yu once wrote an epitaph for Li Zhongxu). During this period, it can be seen that What a person's horoscope and five elements belong to are generally judged based on the year of birth. The year is used as the reference point or reference coordinate in fortune-telling, and there are formulas to judge the five elements. For example, in the year of Wuzi (original author: Jiangnan Yilin), Wuzi belongs to Thunderbolt Fire, which means that the five elements belong to fire. If you are looking for an older fortune teller or a blind fortune teller on the roadside to tell your fortune, they generally tend to use this method to tell your five elements.

The following is the formula for the Five Elements of Nayin (just look up the table according to the stems and branches of your birth year):

Sixty Years of Nayin and the Five Elements Table

There is gold in the sea of ??Jiazi, Yichou, and fire in the furnace of Bingyin and Dingmao.

In Wuchen and Jisi, there are big trees, and in Gengwu and Xinwei, there is dirt on the roadside.

Renshen, Guiyou, sword-edge gold, Jiaxu and Yihai Fire at the top of the mountain.

Bingzi Dingchou Stream is under water, Wuyinjimao city head is soil.

Gengchen Xinsi white wax gold, Renwu Guiwei willow wood.

The water in Jiashen and Yiyou springs, the earth on the houses of Bingxu and Dinghai.

Wuzijichou thunderbolt fire, Gengyinxinmao pines and cypresses.

Renchen and Guisi have long flowing water, Jiawu There is gold in the sand of Yiwei.

In Bingshen and Dingyou mountains there was fire, and in Wuxu and Jihai there was wood on the ground. Lights, Bing Wu and Ding Wei Tian river water.

Wu Shen Ji You Da Post soil, Geng Xu Xin Hai hairpin hairpin gold.

Ren Zi Guichou mulberry mulberry tree, Jiayin Yimao big stream water.

Bingchen, Dingsi, earth in the sand, Wuwu, Jiwei, there is fire in the sky.

Gengshen, Xinyou, pomegranate wood, Renxu, Guihai, the sea.

For example, a certain person If a person is born in 1985, he will find out that 85 is the year of Yichou by arranging his horoscope or looking at the perpetual calendar, and find the verse where Yichou is: Jiazi, Yichou, gold in the sea. It is said that the person's five elements belong to gold, and (original author: Jiangnan Yilin) ??is gold in the sea. People born in the same year of Jiazi also have gold in the sea.

The second method is to use the day stem (the heavenly stem on the day of birth) to discuss a person's five elements. This appeared after Xu Ziping, a master of the Song Dynasty (because of him, eight-character fortune telling is also called Ziping) developed the eight-character theory. From then until now, in fortune-telling, the day stem represents the life owner himself, and the day stem is used to represent the owner of the life. As a reference point or coordinate system for fortune-telling. This is a major breakthrough and development. Since Xu Ziping, we have all discussed the Five Elements in this way.

For example, in the above example, the day stem is Ren, Ren and Gui both belong to water, Ren is Yang water, and Gui is Yin water (additional knowledge: A and B belong to wood, Bing and Ding belong to fire, Wu and Ji belong to earth, Gengxin belongs to gold, Rengui belongs to water. You can easily find out what your five elements belong to by arranging the calendar online or directly checking the perpetual calendar, and then finding the day stem based on the arranged or found horoscopes.)

At this point, everyone should be very clear about the difference between the two types of Five Elements. In fact, no matter which five-element theory you use, it will not affect the result of your fortune-telling judgment, unless the fortune-teller completely adopts the Nayin fortune-telling method of the Li Zhongxu period of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, the two methods are just called differently (original author: Jiangnan Yilin). I recommend using the second method, because now few people use Nayin to judge fate.

So next time you encounter someone saying that your five elements are different from the five elements mentioned by the previous fortune teller, you'd better not be surprised or question it, because this kind of judgment is the most basic common sense of numerology. (Just like a doctor judging a patient's gender), even the most arrogant fortune teller is unlikely to get this wrong (unless the birthday provided is incorrect or the fortune teller is dim-sighted or drunk). You have to judge for yourself based on the methods described in this article! ! ...gt；gt;

How to see what is missing from the five elements in the birth horoscope. First, you need to understand the attributes of the five elements of the heavenly stems and earthly branches

The attributes of the ten heavenly stems: A and B are wood, Represents the East

Bing and Ding are fire and represent the south

Wu and Ji are earth and represent the center

Geng and Xin are gold and represent the west

Ren and Gui are water and represent the north

The attributes of the twelve earthly branches:

Yin Zhongzang: A, B, and E

Maozhong Tibetan: Yi

Tibetan in Chen: Wu, Yi, Gui

Tibetan in Si: Bing, Geng, Wu

Tibetan in Wu: Ding, Ji

Weizhongzang: Ji, Ding, Yi

Shenzhongzang: Geng, Ren, Wu

Youzhongzang: Xin

Xuzhong Zang: Wu, Xin, Ding

Haizhong Zang: Ren, Jia

Zizhong Zang: Gui

Chou Zhongzang: Ji, Gui, Xin

A person's horoscope is composed of the year stem branch, the month stem branch, the day stem branch, and the hour stem branch. In other words, it is composed of four heavenly stems and four earthly branches. Each heavenly stem and earthly branch has a corresponding five-element attribute (referring to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth).

So to see what five elements are missing in a person's horoscope, you just need to analyze these eight characters.

3

At one point, there is the issue of the earthly branches and hidden stems. You must first find out the heavenly stems hidden in the eight-character earthly branches, and then the corresponding attributes of the heavenly stems.

4

Examples:

Eight characters: Wuzi year, Jiazi month, Xin Chou day, Ji Chou hour

Heavenly stem: Wu belongs to the earth and armor belongs to the genus Mu Xin belongs to metal and Ji belongs to earth

Earthly branch: Zi belongs to water and Chou belongs to earth. Chou contains Ji earth, Xin metal and Guishui

Therefore, the eight characters lack fire.

How to tell what is missing from the five elements in the birth horoscope? 100 points. Among the five elements, if there are 3 water, 1 fire, 1 wood, and 3 earth, then there is a lack of gold, which means that the five elements are short of gold. It is best to choose a name with gold in it to balance it out.
