On the Combination of Eight Characters and Ten Heavenly Stems

"The Great Meaning of the Five Elements" says that the heavenly stems and earthly branches were created by Da Nao. Da Nao "collected the feelings of the five elements and built the Dou Ji. He first created Jia and Yi to name the sun, which was called Gan, and created Zi and Chou to name the moon, which was called Zhi. If there is something happening in the sky, the sun is used; if there is something happening on the earth, the moon is used. Because of the difference between yin and yang, there are names of branches and stems." It is said that the name of the Heavenly Stems came from the fact that there were ten suns in the sky in ancient times. "The Heavenly Stems" in "Guangya. Shi Tian" says, "Jia and Yi are Gan. Gan is the god of the sun." To be honest, the combination of the ten heavenly stems is the way of harmony of yin and yang, and the principle of intercourse between men and women. When combined, yin and yang come into harmony and all things come into being. If we examine it in detail, we will find that there are three reasons for this combination.

Take Wugui as an example:

1. For example, if the day master is Guishui, and both fire and earth are prosperous in the situation, and the person is born in summer, the day master is weak and has no roots, and there is no god to help. The heavenly stem Wu earth takes advantage of the situation, and Guishui is a yin stem, which is the nature of a woman. When she sees her husband is prosperous, she will follow him and will not have any other thoughts. If things come together, they will inevitably transform. This transformation means following, which means using softness to overcome hardness.

For example, if the day master is Wu Earth, and both Metal and Water are prosperous in the situation, and the person is born in winter, the day stem is weak and rootless, and there is no helping god in the situation. The Heavenly Stem Gui Water takes advantage of the situation, and Wu Earth is a Yang stem, which is the nature of a man. He follows his wife when he sees that she is powerful. If they are combined, they will not turn into Earth but into Water. This combination is following, which means being firm and submissive to the soft.

2. For example, if the day master is Guishui, and both fire and earth are prosperous in the situation, the day master has roots and energy, and both the body and wealth and official positions are in balance. Although Wutu appears in the stem to combine with the day master, the combination does not transform, and each holds its own strength, which is the so-called "combination without transformation, which means forced." Compare the importance of the matter. If you cannot defeat the opponent yourself, then use metal and water. If you cannot defeat the opponent with your official position, then use fire and earth.

For example, if the day master is Wu Earth, and both Metal and Water are prosperous in the situation, the day master has roots and energy, and both the body and the wealth and official positions are in balance. Although Gui Water appears in the stem to combine with the day master, the combination does not transform, and each holds its own dominant position. As the saying goes, "If a wife does not obey me, she will not be a good match." Compare the importance of things. If you cannot defeat them physically, then use fire and earth. If you cannot defeat them financially, then use metal, water and wood.

3. For example, if the day master is Guishui, and both fire and earth are prosperous in the situation, the day master is out of order but has remaining root energy, and cannot be responsible for wealth and official positions. When Wutu appears in the stem and shows off his power, he tries to combine with me, but I cannot defeat him and am afraid of the power of the official position. I have to combine with him, but the combination cannot be transformed. This combination is actually a false following. The remaining energy of "比劫" will harm the brothers, and the remaining energy of "印守" will harm the parents. Moreover, it is inevitable that the six relatives will be harmed, and the person will be born in poverty. He is a person who is sycophantic, snobbish, arrogant, heartless and shameless.

For example, if the day master is Wu Earth, and both Metal and Water are prosperous in the situation, the day master is out of order but has remaining root energy, and cannot be responsible for wealth and official positions. When Gui Water appears in the stem and shows off its power, it tries to combine with me, but I cannot defeat it and am afraid of the wealth and power, so I have to combine with it. However, the combination cannot be transformed, which means that the combination is actually false. The remaining energy of "比劫" will harm the brothers, and the remaining energy of "印守" will harm the parents. Moreover, it is inevitable that the six relatives will be harmed, and the person will be born in poverty. He is a person who flatters the powerful, is arrogant, heartless and shameless.

To sum up, the transformation of the ten stems includes those who are weak and follow wealth and official positions; those who are weak and seek to follow wealth and official positions; those who are neutral and have both wealth and body in balance; those who are strong and use wealth and official positions; and those who are strong and have wealth and official positions following me. In actual application, the regular and modified forms can be used to accurately judge fate.
