About The Chinese Metaphysics Reference Series
iv
Preface
The study and practice of BaZi is one that constantly yields its own rewards. Learning
about a person’s character, temperament, life outlook and personal destiny is akin
to a fun adventure - with the journey being an essential part of the entire discovery.
The bare information - your birth date and time - can yield a rich treasure trove of
knowledge, most of which can help shed new light on old perceptions.
The idea for this BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods Reference Book series came about as
follow up to the BaZi Structures and Structural Useful Gods Reference Series that
I wrote last year. While the previous series focused on the BaZi “Structures” overall,
this series focuses on the “Hour Pillar” in particular and how it defines the quality of a
Bazi Structure. This series is designed to show how each Hour Pillar helps define the
selection of the chart’s Useful Gods and other favorable elements.
This BaZi Hour Pillar series came out of a further request among my BaZi students
for additional study materials. Many of them were keen to learn more about how the
various structures in BaZi are derived and how the Hour Pillar influences the chart.
I created this series in order to help students learn and absorb the methods and
techniques used to understand how each Hour Pillar of the Day shapes the quality of a
BaZi Structure. The descriptions of each Hour Pillar’s effect on a particular chart have
been largely transliterated from classical texts and therefore tend to present or come
out of a somewhat traditional (or conventional) standpoint.
My initial idea was to develop one BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods book to accommodate
all 10 Heavenly Stems (Day Masters). But yet again, I discovered that it would not be a
book that could reasonably be used by anyone - because if the book were to include
illustrations of each BaZi Hour Pillar as well, then the book’s total sum pages would
likely have reached 1750! This, no doubt, would have perplexed my aforementioned
students and readers more than it would have soothed them! So I decided to break
it apart into five different books, with each one corresponding to each Element. The
book you’re looking at right now is on Metal Day Masters, for both Geng 庚 and Xin
辛 Metal Day Masters.
There are many traditional sources available on the BaZi Structures and Hour Pillars.
One of the more well-known texts is the Qiong Tong Bao Jian 窮通寶鑑, written by a
famous master, Xu Le Wu 徐樂吾. Another popular BaZi scholar of recent past who
contributed a lot to mainstream BaZi theories, especially those relating to structures,
is Wei Qian Li 韋千里.
No doubt, it’s difficult for most students to have access to this information and make
sense of it because it’s scattered about in various old texts and ancient documents,
and also because all of it is available only in Chinese! It was my intention, therefore, to
compile this information into one convenient source, and to present the transliterated
version of these traditional texts for the modern, English-speaking practitioner and
student without losing the essence of the original.
To derive a Useful Gods and the Favorable Elements in BaZi and to ascertain the
quality of a chart, one must know and understand the Day Master and the month
of birth, and the 12 Hour Pillar variations in a BaZi Chart. There are both traditional
methods and newer (modern) methods on how this is interpreted.
v
Because of this, different practitioners and teachers tend to have different methods
and formats to analyze the BaZi Structures and Hour Pillars. In using the techniques
outlined in this book, it is suggested that you proceed with due diligence and thought.
As always, there is much merit in using traditional practices, but students who are
learning BaZi should use this under the supervision of a qualified and experienced
teacher in order to better understand the subject. A good teacher will help you
understand the different ways of interpreting these traditional texts.
Always keep in mind that these methods are merely transliterated text from old
classics. You need to use your wisdom and judgment to use the information in this
book when reading BaZi Charts, and your wisdom and judgment will be better honed
under experienced guidance and tutoring.
Therefore, it will be important to bear in mind as well that these texts should not be
taken literally. Different masters may agree or disagree with the classical commentaries
included here, and as a student, it’s important for you to know the reasons why. It
becomes absolutely crucial for you, as a student and/or learner of BaZi, to know and
understand those reasons and then go on to form your own conclusions, based on
your understanding of the various interpretations.
I wish you all the best in your exploration on this subject and may you enjoy many
pleasurable hours of study ahead of you!
Warm regards,
Joey Yap

The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Hour is strong and this Day Master would
be extremely weak without the help of Bing 丙 Fire as a Useful God to
warm up the chart. Earth should be present in the Heavenly Stems and
Earthly Branches to produce and strengthen this Day Master - or Metal
to support it.
Where Ding 丁 Fire is seen, it would distort the brightness of Bing Fire.
If Water is also present, Wood shall be further strengthened. As a result,
this Day Master would become even weaker.

Although the Chou (Ox) Earthly Branch represents Earth Qi, it also acts
as storage for Water and Metal Qi. It would be preferable to have this
Earthly Branch clashed with the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch or have the
Ji 己 Earth revealed in the Heavenly Stems to produce Metal.

This Day Master is extremely weak given presence of two Yin 寅 (Tiger)
Earthly Branches. Since the Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stem within each Yin
(Tiger) Earthly Branch is also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar, it will produce and strengthen this Day Master; albeit to only a
certain extent.
The presence of the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch strengthens this Day
Master even if Wood also happens to be present in abundance.

The Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar supports this Day
Master. The Earth Qi of its Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch produces
and strengthens this Day Master. This allows the extremely weak Day
Master to be revitalized.
If Jia 甲 Wood and Bing 丙 Fire are also revealed as the Heavenly Stems
of the Year and Month Pillars, this Day Master will lead an above-average
quality of life.

This Day Master is very weak and needs Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem
of the Hour Pillar for support. Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch indirectly
produces and strengthens this Day Master as it contains the roots of
Geng 庚 Metal.
It would be better if Wood and Fire are also present as Useful Gods since
it would allow this Day Master to become a prosperous one by producing
Earth Qi.
Under such circumstances, there would be no need for this Day Master
to fear the presence of strong Water.

Wood and Fire are strong this Month. Given the Fire Qi of the Wu 午
(Horse) Hour and the Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Wu (Horse) Earthly Branches
combine to form a partial Fire Structure, Fire Qi is featured prominently,
resulting in this Day Master being further weakened.
The Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is strong enough to
counter and neutralize the effects of such strong Fire without flooding or
being overbearing in presence.
As it is still cold in early spring, the warmth provided by Fire is still very
much welcome. In any case, Earth and Metal must be present as Useful
Gods in supporting and strengthening this weak Day Master.

As Gui Water is seated atop the Wei (Goat) Earthly Branch in the Hour
Pillar, the Earth Qi will keep Gui Water under control.
It would be better if Fire is also present in the Year and Month Pillars
to provide warmth, and accompanied by Earth and Metal to produce,

Both Wood and Fire are featured prominently this Month. The Yin 寅
(Tiger) and Hai 亥 (pig) Earthly Branches also combine to form Wood,
which in turn, produces and strengthens Ding 丁 Fire. This will result
in Wood and Ding Fire becoming too strong and in the process, further
weakens this Day Master.

being further strengthened - would counter this Day Master.
Yi Wood remains strong throughout the spring, which is why Water and
Earth should preferably be present since Water moistens Earth and
therefore, allowing it to produce and strengthen Metal.

Earth Qi of its Xu 戌 (Dog) counterpart supports this Day Master.
The Mao (Rabbit) and Xu (Dog) Earthly Branches also combine to produce
Fire, resulting in Fire Qi becoming even stronger. This also causes this
Day Master to become even weaker. If Earth is missing from the Year and

The Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stem within the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch
- also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - is strong enough
to produce and strengthen this Day Master. Being seated atop the Yin 寅
(Tiger) Earthly Branch in the Hour Pillar, Wu Earth remains strong.
Earth and Metal would be even stronger in the case of a Day Master born
12 days after the advent of Qing Ming 清明 (Clear and Bright) from April
5th to 20th. Although there would be no harm in having Wood present,
it should not be in overabundance. Since Fire produces and further
strengthens Earth, it should not be present in abundance.
This Day Master should not further encounter Metal and Water Qi.

Ji Earth counters the Wood Qi of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch. This
is the reason why Fire is needed to weaken Wood. But where more
Water and Wood happen to be present, the BaZi Chart would be of a
substandard structure.

The presence of two Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stems and two Chen 辰
(Dragon) Earthly Branches means that this Day Master is comfortably
supported, produced and strengthened. But Wood and Fire are also
needed as Useful Gods in ensuring that it remains well-balanced.
Otherwise, Water should at least be revealed in the Heavenly Stems and
be duly supported by Metal.
The Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch also serves as storage for Water Qi.
If Wood, Fire and Water are missing - while Earth and Metal are present
in abundance in the Year and Month Pillars - this Day Master would be
a strong but isolated.

The Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem within the Si (Snake) Earthly Branch can
also be employed as a Useful God to this Day Master. If Bing Fire also
happens to be revealed in the Heavenly Stems, it would be prosperous
due to the support of the Si (Snake) Earthly Branch.
This would allow Bing Fire to be rooted, while Bing Fire combines with
Xin Metal to produce Water. When this condition is met, this Day Master
would enjoy a wealthy and prosperous life.

Metal, Water, Fire and Earth are all featured prominently due to the

(Dragon) Earthly Branch.
Where Earth is strong, Fire is a preferred Useful God. With Ren Water
being seated atop the weak Fire Qi of the Wu (Horse) Earthly Branch
in the Hour Pillar, additional Wood should also be present since Wood
produces Fire and weakens Ren Water.

As Earth is already strong due to the presence of the Wei 未 (Goat) and

Jia 甲 Wood is one of its preferred Useful Gods.
Wood Qi is not fully exhausted, while the Shen (Dragon) and Chen
(Dragon) Earthly Branches also combine to form a partial Water Structure,
which would produce and support Jia Wood. There is only the need to

The Wood Qi of the Yin (Tiger) Earthly Branch also produces Fire. This

Metal, Wood, Fire and Earth are Useful Gods to this Day Master in their

Although Jia 甲 Wood is supposed to be countered and fully depleted by

The Si 巳 (Snake) and Hai 亥 (pig) Earthly Branches clash with one

With the presence of Bing 丙 Fire, Fire is strong while this Day Master
weak. The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch is needed to
neutralize the effects of such strong Fire. The Earth Qi of the Wei 未
(Goat) Earthly Branch also produces and strengthens this Day Master
and weakens Fire Qi. It would be favorable to this Day Master, where
Metal is also present, to be accompanied by Earth to produce it and
Water to control Fire.

The Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch serves as storage for Wood Qi. Its Chou
丑 (Ox) counterpart serves as storage for Geng 庚 Metal. Since both
Earthly Branches also clash with each other, the Wood Qi trapped within
the Wei (Goat) Earthly Branch is released. Despite Earth being strong this
Month, it should still be capable of producing Metal.
The Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, by itself, is strong
enough to serve as a Useful God to forge this Day Master. Only a little
Water is needed to moisten the Earth - and with Wood to produce Fire -
this Day Master will enjoy fame and fortune in life.

With Wu 戊 Earth also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar,
this Day Master is made even stronger. The presence of thick, heavy
Earth can lead to Metal being buried. Earth, being dry, is incapable of
producing Metal. Although Earth is strong, it is not really able to serve as

Where Ding 丁 Fire and Wood are also present, this Day Master’s Metal

Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Month also produces and strengthens this

the Hour Pillar. Geng Metal and Xin 辛 Metal is featured prominently,
while Earth also produces and further strengthens Metal.
Where Wood and Fire are missing, Metal Qi shall dictate the overall
structure of the BaZi Chart. This means a Follow The Prosperous chart
may possibly be formed. Under such circumstances, Fire should be
avoided since it clashes with and weakens Metal, preventing the special
formation from taking place.
In ordinary circumstances, where Wood and Fire are present, both Wood
and Ding 丁 Fire may be employed as Useful Gods to this Day Master.
Where the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Chen (Dragon) Earthly
Branch is also revealed in the Heavenly Stems - or its Ren 壬 Water
counterpart - this Day Master shall prosper in life. It would be equally
favorable to this Day Master if the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (pig) and Zi 子
(Rat) Earthly Branches also happen to be present.

This Day Master is a productive and thriving one due to the support of
the Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem within the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch.
Although Bing Fire clashes with this Day Master, it is also beneficial
because it forges Metal. The Si (Snake) and You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly
Branches combine to form a partial Metal Structure, which supports the

There would be no need for Water to keep Bing Fire under control. Where

The Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch makes this Day
Master even more prosperous. This Day Master also forms a Goat Blade
Structure with the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch. This results in Jia 甲
Wood being clashed away by strong Geng 庚 Metal and Xin 辛 Metal.
There is no use in even having Jia Wood revealed in the Heavenly Stems;
more so when its Qi is weaken by the Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch.
If sufficient Fire is present to control the Metal Qi, this Day Master would
only be blessed with authority - but not wealth - in life. But where Water
is available to produce Wood - or Wood is present in abundance - this
Day Master will be able to become wealthy in life after having undergone
a spell of poverty first.

prominently. The presence of the Geng 庚 Metal and Chen 辰 (Dragon)
of the Hour Pillar means that Earth is thick with Metal strong. If Jia 甲
Wood and Yi 乙 Wood were to be present, both would lack the strength
to counter and weaken Metal, which is very strong.
Bing 丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire, if present, will produce Earth and also allow

Given that Earth and Metal are strong in the autumn, Geng 庚 Metal is
supposed to be able to combine with Yi 乙 Wood to produce Metal. The
Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch is only enough to support
this Day Master. Geng 庚 Metal is firmly rooted in this Earthly Branch.
There is also the need to avoid Fire since it clashes with Metal, preventing
the Metal Transforming Qi structure to take place. Where this special
structure is formed, the person will enjoy a happy and prosperous life.
Additional Metal Qi is desirable. Wood is also not preferred since it is also
clashed away by Metal. Neither Fire nor Wood are preferred Useful Gods
if this Day Master is to remain prosperous and well-balanced.
If a little Wood and Fire also happen to be present, they would disrupt
or sabotage any favorable structure formed, resulting in this Day Master
leading a low-quality of life.

The Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branch also serves as storage for Fire Qi. In the
presence of two Xu (Dog) Earthly Branches - coupled with Bing 丙 Fire
revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar - even Earth, although
strong, is insufficient to weaken Fire. Earth would only bury Metal. This
leads to a lack luster life.
Under such circumstances, Wood is the primary Useful God to this Day

The Earth Qi of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch and Geng 庚 Metal
supposedly serve this purpose. The chill of the winter season tends to

The combined Water Qi of the two Hai 亥 (pig) Earthly Branches weakens
this Day Master considerably, and overflows and drowns out Metal. It is
just as well that the Hai (pig) Earthly Branch also contains Jia 甲 Wood
amongst its Hidden Stems since Jia 甲 Wood produces Ding 丁 Fire.
With Fire to provide warmth and counter Water, this Day Master may
remain well-balanced.
Fire is also needed to allow Geng 庚 Metal to shine. As this Day Master is
surrounded by Water - with only Ding Fire to counter Water - it would be
easily swarmed. Earth is still needed as a Useful God in order that Metal
may produce and strengthen this Day Master.

Water Qi is strong this Month. The Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the

The Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch is

a precious, indispensable Useful God to this Day Master.
Being seated atop the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch of the Hour Pillar,
Ji Earth is severely weakened under such circumstances. Although the
Wood Qi of the Mao (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is supposed to weaken
Water, Ji 己 Earth remains weak, which is why Fire should also be present
in the Year and Month Pillars for a Useful God to remain well-balanced
and healthy.

The presence of the Xin 辛 Metal - Si 巳 (Snake) Hour Pillar allows this
Day Master to be produced, supported and strengthened accordingly.
This weak Day Master should preferably be produced and supported,
where possible. Because the overall Qi of the Earthly Branches is impure,
it lacks the strength prevalent in the Heavenly Stems to serve as a Useful
God.
The Si (Snake) Earthly Branch also contains Bing 丙 Fire, Wu 戊 Earth and
Geng 庚 Metal as its Hidden Stems. Where Bing Fire and Wu Earth are
also revealed in - and penetrate across - the Heavenly Stems, Bing Fire
and Wu Earth would be rooted. This would allow both Bing Fire and Wu
Earth to effectively play their roles as Useful Gods to this Day Master.

is also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Metal and

Geng 庚 Metal is weak and needs the support of the Earth Qi of the Wei

The Yin and Yang Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (pig) and Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly
Branches combine, resulting in this Day Master being further weakened.
Such strong Water Qi would also weaken any Metal Qi present. Strong
Fire is needed to counter and neutralize the effects of such strong Water.
But Ding 丁 Fire - being seated atop the Hai 亥 (pig) Earthly Branch of
the Hour Pillar - is isolated and weak in Qi.
Although the Water Qi of the Hai (pig) Earthly Branch produces Wood,
it certainly does not support - let alone produce - Ding Fire. Wood must
also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems in order to produce Fire.
As this Day Master remains weak, Earth must also be present as a Useful
God to produce and strengthen it. The presence of Wood and Earth will
go a long way towards ensuring that this Day Master remains strong and
well-balanced.

It must be supported by Wood or at least, through the presence of the
Wood Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch, in order to thrive.
Earth should also be avoided since it weakens Fire. Metal is not really
preferred since it produces Water, which is already strong and cold.

The presence of two Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stems and two Earth Qi
of the Chen 辰 (Dragon) and Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches denote that
there is a possibility of a Super Vibrant structure being formed. This only
happens when there is sufficient wood, dry earth and fire present in the

However, without Fire and Wood, the Chen (Dragon) and Chou (Ox)
Earthly Branches representing wet Earth, makes it difficult to produce
and strengthen Metal. As Metal Qi is trapped, it would be impossible for
such a Super Vibrant Structure to be formed.
A decent amount of Wood and Fire must also be present in order to thaw
cold Earth and Metal, and allow Earth to produce and strengthen Metal.

Since Wood and Fire become even stronger - while this Day Master
remains weak - the Wu 戊 Earth Hidden Stem within the Yin 寅 (Tiger)
Earthly Branch must also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems . If Earth is
available to weaken Fire as well as produce Metal, this Day Master would
then be able to lead a prosperous life.
It would be favorable to this Day Master - where Geng 庚 Metal and the
Metal Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch are also available to
keep Wood under control.

The Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch produces and strengthens
this Day Master. Nevertheless, it is unfortunate that this Earthly Branch
also acts as storage for Wood Qi - while its Yi 乙 Wood Hidden Stem is
also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar.
It would best to avoid encountering even more Wood, given that Yi Wood
is already present in the Hour Pillar.

Master. This allows it to hold its own against the onslaught of the strong

Given the late spring timing of this Day Master’s birth, Earth is still strong.

Fire is strong, this Month - which then poses a threat to Xin 辛 Metal,
being soft Metal. As such, Water is needed as a Useful God; which then
allows this Day Master to be moistened and warmed, simultaneously.
The Water Qi of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch is important, in order for
this Day Master to remain well-balanced. Nevertheless, Wu 戊 Earth
seats atop this Earthly Branch, in the Hour Pillar. It counters and weakens
Water Qi.
As such, Xin Metal and Geng 庚 Metal remain preferred Useful Gods, in
weakening Earth. In addition, Metal also produces and supports Water.
But Wood is not really relevant as a Useful God - although Wood loosens
Earth, it does produce and strengthen Fire.
Metal and Water remain this Day Master’s most preferred Useful Gods,
in allowing it to remain well-balanced.

Fire is strong this Month, and therefore weakens Metal. This is why Earth
is needed to produce and strengthen Metal. Nevertheless, the combined
Earth Qi of the Ji 己 Earth - Chou 丑 (Ox) Hour Pillar could result in
Metal being buried underneath it. It is just as well that Geng 庚 Metal
is strengthened by the presence of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch -
although its Chou (Ox) counterpart acts as storage for Geng Metal Qi.

Since the Wood Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch is also controlled
by Geng Metal, it would be impossible for Wood and Fire to become
overly strong. Where Earth is also available to produce Metal - with Water
to keep Fire under control - however, this Day Master would be a unique,

There are at least two Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stems present. Nevertheless,
Xin Metal Qi is trapped and weakened by the presence of the Si 巳
(Snake) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches. As such, this Day Master
remains weak.
Earth and Metal are needed as Useful Gods, in order to support, produce
and strengthen this Day Master accordingly. In addition, Wood and Fire
should be avoided; since both further weaken this Day Master.
In the absence of Earth and Metal, Ren 壬 Water and Bing 丙 Fire may
also be revealed in the Heavenly Stems, since this Day Master would
then be a unique, special one.

Qi under control. Meanwhile, the Earth Qi of its Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly

Xin 辛 Metal, being soft Metal, cannot withstand being clashed with.
Although the Bing 丙 Fire Hidden Stem within the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly
Branch discreetly combines with Xin 辛 Metal to produce Water, this Day
Master still needs to address the presence of this Earthly Branch’s Fire
Qi.
Gui 癸 Water is also strong, since it keeps Fire Qi under control. But
because Water evaporates and dries up easily in the summer, the Geng
庚 Metal Hidden Stem within the Si (Snake) Earthly Branch should also
be revealed in the Heavenly Stems, to produce and ensure the continuity
of Water Qi.
Where more Wood and Fire are encountered, this Day Master would still

The Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch clashes with and weakens
this Day Master. The Earth Qi of its Wei 未 (Goat) counterpart produces
and strengthens this Day Master.
Yi 乙 Wood counters the Wei (Goat) Earthly Branch’s Earth Qi, as well as
produces the Si (Snake) Earthly Branch’s Fire Qi; thereby diminishing this
Day Master’s chances of being produced and strengthened.
This further weakens this Day Master; thereby not allowing it to withstand
the onslaught of such strong Fire Qi. This is why Wu 戊 Earth and Geng
庚 Metal should also be present in the Heavenly Stems, if this Day Master
is to be supported, produced and strengthened accordingly. It would
be even better if Water is also present as a supporting Useful God,
accompanied by the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch.

As such, even if Bing Fire and Xin 辛 Metal do not combine to form
Water, both are however rooted. If the Si (Snake) and Shen (Monkey)
Earthly Branches combine to form Water, Bing Fire would then be able
to combine with Xin Metal to form Water.
Under such circumstances, there would be no need for this Day Master

Fire and Earth are strong, this month. As such, both will tend to clash
with - more than produce or support - this Day Master. The combined
Earth Qi of the Wu 戊 Earth - Xu 戌 (Dog) Hour Pillar further strengthens
and thickens Earth. As such, Metal is in danger of being buried by such
thick Earth. This is why Jia 甲 Wood is needed as a Useful God to keep
Wu 戊 Earth under control.
Water should also be present to produce and ensure the continuity of Jia
Wood, in order for it to effectively play its role as a Useful God, to loosen

supposedly supports this Day Master, there is a need to prevent the
Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch from producing Ding

Earth is extremely strong, in the presence of the two Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly
Branches. As such, there is a possibility that Earth may bury Metal. This
is why Yi 乙 Wood - revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar -
remains a preferred Useful God in loosening and keeping Earth under
control.

Earth is strong - just like Fire - this Month. Xin 辛 Metal - being soft Metal
- is unable to withstand the onslaught of such fierce Fire. Since Bing 丙
Fire combines with Xin Metal to form Water, this allows Fire to be kept
under control. Meanwhile, this Day Master is also strengthened by the
presence of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch.
In addition, the Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stem within this Earthly Branch also
keeps Bing 丙 Fire under control. This results in both Water and Fire Qi
matching each other in strength; thereby allowing Bing Fire to also serve
as a Useful God to this Day Master.
There is also the need to avoid Wood; since it counters Earth. Bing Fire
and Ding 丁 Fire should also be avoided, since both counter and weaken
Geng 庚 Metal. Metal and Water remain preferred Useful Gods, although
there would also be no harm in having Wood present.

Earth is strong and this Day Master remains prosperous and rooted in the

Fire Hidden Stem within the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch is also revealed
as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Where Ding Fire features
prominently, this Day Master would be invariably weakened.
Unfortunately, the dry Earth Qi of the Wei (Goat) Earthly Branch cannot
produce Xin 辛 Metal. This is why Water - revealed in the Heavenly Stems
- remains a preferred Useful God in keeping Ding Fire under control.
Meanwhile, the Jia 甲 Wood and Yi 乙 Wood Hidden Stems within the

avoided.

Even if not for the strong Earth Qi of the Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branch, this
Day Master should still avoid being buried by thick Earth. As such, Jia 甲
Wood is needed to keep Wu 戊 Earth under control - so that Metal will
not end up being buried by Earth. Ren 壬 Water is also needed to keep
Fire under control, as well as provide moisture to this Day Master.
Where Jia Wood is present but Ren Water missing, though, this would
only result in Fire Qi being further strengthened. Where Ren Water is
present but Jia Wood missing, it would not be possible for Earth to be

Metal Qi is strong this Month, resulting in this Day Master being further
strengthened. Meanwhile, the Ren 壬 Water Hidden Stem within the
Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch is also revealed as the Heavenly Stem
of the Hour Pillar. This allows Ren Water to effectively serve as a Useful
God to this Day Master.
This Day Master would shine and become outstanding in life - even
though Ren Water is weakened by and its Qi stored within the Chen 辰
(Dragon) Earthly Branch. This is because the Shen (Monkey) and Chen
(Dragon) Earthly Branches combine to form a partial Water Structure,
thereby allowing Water Qi to remain strong and flow smoothly.
Where Wood and Water are also present as Useful Gods, this Day Master
would also be blessed with physical beauty in life. There would be no
harm in having Fire and Metal present as well - although Wu 戊 Earth
must be avoided.

Since the Metal Qi of the Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch produces Water,
it is very likely and possible that the combination between Bing Fire and
Xin Metal will produce Water. Under such circumstances, there would
then be no harm in having more Metal and Water present in the BaZi
Chart.
However, the presence of Wood, Fire and Earth would only disrupt and
prevent Bing Fire from combining with Xin Metal, to produce Water.
Where Wood and Fire are present, both may then be employed as Useful
Gods to this Day Master. But even if Earth and Metal are present in
abundance or strength, it would not be wise to employ them as Useful
Gods.

The Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar supports and further
strengthens this Day Master. Nevertheless, the Wood Qi of the Yin 寅
(Tiger) Earthly Branch supposedly loosens Earth - which is also strong.
But because the Yin (Tiger) and Xu 戌 (Dog) Earthly Branches combine
to form a partial Fire Structure - resulting in more Earth being produced
-Wood Qi is ineffective.
In addition, where the Water Qi of the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch is also
present, this Day Master would be able to prosper in life.

With Xin 辛 Metal also present as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar,
this Day Master is definitely not without support or company. Meanwhile,
Earth remains strong this Month - resulting in this Day Master being
produced and further strengthened.
As such, Water and Wood must also be revealed; so that Wood Qi may
then be rooted. There is also the need to avoid Earth and Metal; while
Fire should preferably not be present.

Meanwhile, the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is strong
enough to keep Earth under control - as well as cleanse Xin 辛 Metal.
It would be even better, if Jia 甲 Wood is also present as a Useful God.
Where the Shen 申 (Monkey) and Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branches are
also present, this Day Master would then become a thriving and more
energetic one.

Master is able to regain some of its strength, due to the support of the
Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar.
But since this Day Master remains weak, Wood and Fire - especially
if hidden within the Earthly Branches - would not bring about the best

suitably be employed as the best Useful God possible to this Day Master,
under such circumstances. Where Geng Metal is present, it would not

even though Bing Fire may combine with Xin Metal, such a combination

This Day Master is weakened by Water and controlled by Fire. Despite the
support of the Shen (Monkey) Earthly Branch, this Day Master remains
weak. It would be preferable to have Geng 庚 Metal also revealed as the

In addition, neither Xin 辛 Metal nor Geng Metal should also be present,

Ren 壬 Water, revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, is also
strong this Month. Although Ren Water has its Qi weaken by and stored
within the Chen 辰 (Dragon) Earthly Branch, the Zi 子 (Rat) and Chen

As such, Water overflows and is present in overabundance, under such
circumstances.
Meanwhile, Xin 辛 Metal also has its Qi weaken by and stored within the
Chen (Dragon) Earthly Branch. Metal is submerged by Water; which is
why Jia 甲 Wood is needed to drain and weaken Water, as well as Wu 戊
Earth to dam up and keep Water under control.
Where neither Earth nor Wood is present - while Bing 丙 Fire is revealed
in the Heavenly Stems - Bing Fire shall combine with Xin Metal to

Bing 丙 Fire and Xin 辛 Metal combine with one another; while Water Qi
is strong due to the presence of the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch. The Metal
Qi of the Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly Branch also produces and further
strengthens Water Qi.

Water Qi is strong this Month, while Metal Qi is weak. And since this Day
Master also lacks warmth, it is weak and unstable. Ding 丁 Fire Heavenly
Stem of the Hour Pillar counters the chill of the winter season - thereby
allowing the Metal Qi of the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly Branch to flow
smoothly. This would then augur well for this Day Master.

should be avoided, while Water is not really preferred as a Useful God,

The Ji 己 Earth Hidden Stem within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch is
strong, this Month. Likewise, the Wu 戊 Earth Heavenly Stem of the Hour
Pillar is equally capable of producing Metal. There is no harm in having
the Gui 癸 Water Hidden Stem within the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch
weakening this strong Day Master to a certain extent.
Given the winter timing of this Day Master’s birth, though, without Bing
丙 Fire and Ding 丁 Fire penetrating to the Heavenly Stems, this Day
Master’s chances of being produced would be almost non-existent. Even
if Ding Fire is present, Wood is also needed to produce and ensure its
continuity.

Earth and Metal are strong, and with Earth further thickened by the
presence of the Ji 己 Earth - Chou 丑 (Ox) Hour Pillar, it has the capacity
to bury Metal. As such, Earth is a sickness to this Day Master, while
Wood is its Medicating Useful Gods. Nevertheless, even if Jia 甲 Wood is
present, it may combine with Ji Earth to produce even more Earth. Yi 乙
Wood is preferred to Jia Wood, as a Useful God to this Day Master.
Where the Yin 寅 (Tiger) Earthly Branch is present in the Year Pillar but
Bing 丙 Fire is also encountered - or Ding 丁 Fire is revealed as the
Heavenly Stem of the Month Pillar, with this Day Master seated atop the
Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch - it would still be favorable
to this Day Master.

Where the Ji 己 Earth Hidden Stem within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly
Branch is employed as a Useful God, this Day Master would be rooted.
With the support of the Geng 庚 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar
as well, this Day Master is anything but weak.
Since Fire warms both Earth and Metal, where this Day Master is also
seated atop the Fire Qi of the Si 巳 (Snake) Earthly Branch - or Bing 丙
Fire is also revealed in the Heavenly Stems - this Day Master would then
be able to prosper and become extremely wealthy in life.

Earth is strong this Month. As such, this Day Master need not worry
about not being supported or strengthened. With the additional support
of the Xin 辛 Metal Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar, this Day Master
would be strong enough to hold its own against the onslaught of Wood
Qi. Nevertheless, the Wood Qi of the Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branch is
not rooted. In addition, it is also countered and weakened by Xin Metal.
It would be preferable to have Fire to keep Metal under control. If the Hai
(Pig) and Wei 未 (Goat) Earthly Branches are also present, Wood Qi would
be strong. This would then allow it to produce Fire, which in turn, would
counter and dispel the chill of the winter season. This also allows Earth
to thaw and produce Metal accordingly.

Although the Ren 壬 Water Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar appears
capable of cleansing this Day Master, it is however frozen in the winter.
Both Water and Earth are frozen this Month.
As such, Fire is needed to thaw both Water and Earth. In addition, the
Wood Qi of the Yin 寅 (Tiger) and Mao 卯 (Rabbit) Earthly Branches are
also needed to loosen Earth, as well as produce Fire. Only then will this
Day Master be able to remain well-balanced.

The Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch contains Ji 己 Earth, Xin 辛 Metal and

remains strong although not revealed as well - Earth, Metal and Water
Qi all flow smoothly.
Should Bing Fire happen to be missing, though, while this Day Master
is seated atop the Zi 子 (Rat) Earthly Branch, its Gui Water Hidden Stem
would then be able to serve this Day Master better as a Useful God -
compared to Wood or Bing Fire. Nevertheless, in the absence of Gui
Water and Bing Fire, Wood remains a preferred Useful God.

Earth is invariably frozen this Month, given the chill of the winter season.
Nevertheless, Earth and Metal remain strong; although Earth, being cold,
is unable to produce Metal. As such, Wood and Fire remain preferred
Regulating Useful Gods to this Day Master.
The Jia 甲 Wood - Wu 午 (Horse) Hour Pillar - with its Wood and Fire Qi
respectively - is able to play the role of Useful God. It would be even
better where the Hai 亥 (Pig) Earthly Branch is also present in the Year
and Month Pillars - or Ren 壬 Water and Gui 癸 Water are also revealed
in the Heavenly Stems - since this Day Master shall prosper and become
wealthy in life.

The Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch serves as storage for Metal Qi, and
also contains Xin 辛 Metal amongst its Hidden Stems. Its Wei 未 (Goat)
counterpart serves as storage for Wood Qi, and also contains Yi 乙 Wood
amongst its Hidden Stems. Although both Earthly Branches clash with
one another, the presence of the Yi Wood Heavenly Stem in the Hour
Pillar allows both this Day Master and Wood to remain strong.
This is because the Wood Qi trapped within the Wei (Goat) Earthly
Branch is released as a result of the clash, thereby allowing it to serve
as a Useful God to this Day Master. There is, however, the need to avoid
Metal - since it counters and weakens Wood.

The Bing 丙 Fire Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar is a preferred Useful
God, since it provides warmth - and counters and dispels the chill of the
winter season. In addition, the Metal Qi of its Shen 申 (Monkey) Earthly
Branch also supports and strengthens this Day Master. Given that the
Ji 己 Earth Hidden Stem within the Chou 丑 (Ox) Earthly Branch is also
strong, Fire could possibly lack the strength to effectively serve as a
Useful God.
As such, Wood and Fire should be present throughout the BaZi Chart, in
order for this Day Master to really remain well-balanced.

This Day Master is prosperous and rooted in the You 酉 (Rooster) Earthly
Branch. Earth is also strong this Month; while the You (Rooster) and Chou
丑 (Ox) Earthly Branches combine to form a partial Metal Structure.
Where Wood is also available, it will produce and ensure the continuity of
Ding Fire. There is, however, the need to avoid Gui 癸 Water. Meanwhile,
neither Earth nor Metal is necessary as a Useful God.

also revealed as the Heavenly Stem of the Hour Pillar. Since it produces
Xin 辛 Metal, this Day Master is a strong one. Although the Water Qi of

The Hour Pillar in a BaZi Chart can make or break the quality of a BaZi Structure. There are 12 different Hour
Pillars per Day Master each month of the year. Each Hour Pillar has the power to determine the Useful Gods
of an entire BaZi Chart. Each Hour Pillar can also define the quality of a person’s life. Wealth or poverty,
success or failure, happiness or misery – the Hour Pillar holds the key as it plays a crucial role in defining the
Useful Gods of a BaZi Chart.
Every BaZi Chart has an underlying structure that can further clarify and bring to light a person’s destiny and
potential, and clearly maps out what awaits him or her in life.
This BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods Reference Book is designed to supplement the studies and practice of BaZi
students and practitioners in helping them understand how EACH Hour Pillar defines a BaZi Structure, how to
select the Useful Gods and Favorable Elements of a chart and of course, how to analyse and interpret these
structures.
The information in this book is based on classical methods and techniques that are derived from traditional
Chinese BaZi texts and material. These structure methods and techniques in the classical texts were
commonly-used as reference by the Qing Dynasty masters. This book presents the transliterated version of
these traditional texts for the modern, English-speaking practitioner and advanced student without sacrificing
the essence of the original.
This book in the BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods series focuses on Metal Day Masters. This book describes the
12 Hour Pillars of 2 types of Metal Day Masters, Geng 庚 and Xin 辛 Metal. The chapters are divided into how
both Geng 庚 and Xin 辛 Metal Day Master’s HOUR PILLAR function respectively in all 12 months in a year.
This book on Hour Pillar of Metal Day Masters serves as a functional and helpful reference guide and includes:
• The HOUR PILLAR attributes of Geng 庚 and Xin 辛 Metal respectively in each of the 12 months
• Useful Gods selection reference guide based on the Hour of Birth for each of the 12 months
• Learn how to select the Useful Gods and Favorable Elements of a BaZi chart for the Metal Day Masters in all
12 months of the year – based on it’s Hour of Birth
• Detailed classical commentary on the factors affecting the overall strength of the Day Master and the Hour
Pillar in 12 different months
• Additional Hour Attributes that may affect the Day Master depending on different Structures and Useful Gods
This BaZi Hour Pillar Useful Gods – Metal Day Masters reference book will yield many hours of pleasurable
study and reference for masters, teachers, practitioners, and students of higher level BaZi.
