Ten Gods — the Core Analysis Layer of Bazi
The Ten Gods (十神) are the core analysis layer of Chinese bazi metaphysics. Basic bazi gives you 4 pillars of 8 characters; but the Ten Gods explicate each character\'s relationship to the Day Master (you), turning the chart from raw symbols into a relational network.
5 pairs — yin/yang grouped
The 10 deities split into 5 pairs: Peer/Rival (siblings, competitors), Creative Output (creativity, rebellion), Wealth (opportunity vs steady income), Authority (power vs office), Resource (intuition vs learning). Each pair shares an element + role, differing only in yin/yang.
Practical use
Bazi consultants use the Ten Gods as the interpretation language. E.g.: "Strong Qi Sha (七杀) suits military/management"; "Strong Output (食伤) suits creative/educational paths"; "Missing Wealth (财星) means proactive financial management is essential". This tool implements the common-knowledge interpretation layer.
Bazi consulting in SG/MY/HK/TW
Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Taiwan have multi-hundred-million-dollar annual bazi consulting markets. Professional consultations (Ten Gods + Major Luck + Annual Luck) cost SGD 200-800 / session, more from named masters. This tool offers baseline reference so users can self-orient before paid consultation.
10 Facts about Ten Gods
The Ten Gods system was formalized by Song dynasty metaphysician Xu Ziping in Yuanhai Ziping. Before this, bazi used only yin-yang + 5-elements; Xu introduced the relational deity layer for finer-grained reading.
The Day Master = the Heavenly Stem of your birth day. It is the single most important character in your 8-char chart; the other 7 are interpreted relative to it.
"Qi Sha (七杀)" has the most fearsome name but actually represents military/executive talent. Strong types thrive; weak types struggle under pressure. Many military/political figures have heavy 七杀 (e.g. Emperor Hongwu, founder of Ming dynasty).
"Peer / Rival" deities represent siblings, friends, competitors. Those with many in their chart have broad social circles but tend toward competition. Self-employment fits best.
"Output deities" represent creativity. Shi Shen (食神) = gentle creative output (designer); Shang Guan (伤官) = rebellious creative output (critic, journalist).
"Zheng Guan (正官)" = "civilian official" — civil servant, teacher, traditional careers. "Qi Sha (七杀)" = "military official" — military/police, entrepreneurs, decision-making roles.
"Resource deities" = wisdom/learning. Zheng Yin (正印) = mother, mainstream education, traditional learning. Pian Yin (偏印) = niche knowledge, occultism, intuition.
"Wealth deities": Pian Cai (偏财) = opportunity wealth, investment. Zheng Cai (正财) = salary, steady income. Heavy 偏财 favors entrepreneurship; heavy 正财 favors stable employment.
Balanced distribution = versatile potential across domains. Extreme distribution (e.g. one category dominates) = genius in that domain, with potential gaps elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bazi = 4 pillars × 8 characters (each pillar = Heavenly Stem + Earthly Branch). Ten Gods = the relationship of those 8 characters to your "Day Master" (the Heavenly Stem of your birth day). Ten Gods is the interpretive layer on top of basic bazi.
Each pair shares element + role but differs in yin/yang. E.g. Pian Cai (偏财, yang) + Zheng Cai (正财, yin) are both "wealth deities" — Pian is aggressive/opportunistic, Zheng is steady/salaried.
No, this is baseline only. Professional consultants integrate: Major Luck cycles (10-year) + Annual Luck + Useful God + chart strength (strong/weak DM) + climate balance + more. This tool offers a static Ten Gods distribution reading only.
The bazi + Ten Gods calculations are accurate (powered by lunar-javascript, MIT). The Ten Gods classification follows the millennium-old traditional system unambiguously. The interpretation layer is a simplification of common-knowledge readings; professional consultants offer finer detail.
The tool shows it. Birth day Heavenly Stem maps to: Jia/Yi (甲乙) = Wood, Bing/Ding (丙丁) = Fire, Wu/Ji (戊己) = Earth, Geng/Xin (庚辛) = Metal, Ren/Gui (壬癸) = Water. E.g. June 15, 1990 = Geng-Wu day → Day Master = Metal.
Neither, exactly. Bazi describes "energy tendencies": which activities or modes of thinking you naturally lean toward. Actual personality + outcomes are the cumulative result of innate tendencies + your choices + environmental factors.
Structurally different. Western: planets (Saturn/Mars/etc.) + signs = psychological archetypes. Chinese: stems + branches + 5-elements + yin/yang = relational network. Both attempt to map the inner structure of "person" but use different philosophical premises.
The static part (natal bazi) is fixed. But the dynamic part changes — as Major Luck cycles and annual luck shift, new Ten Gods enter and reinforce/weaken your original tendencies. That's why year-by-year consultations differ.
