From the last article, we have learned about how to transform a
Gregorian date to a 4 pillar 8 character chart which could contain all 5
elements or a few of the elements. There
are twelve baizi charts in a day due to the 12 animal signs pairing with
heavenly stems which will change every 2 hours.
For example for the date 10 Apr
2018 starting from 12 am rat hour and will end on 10 Apr 2018 11:59 pm rat(zi) hour.
 |
| 10 Apr 2018 2 hourly element energy chart, 12 charts per day, Edmund energy chart is with red edge |
If there is baby boy name Edmund born on 10 Apr 2018 at
9:45 am, this means his birth chart is the one with red edge.
The moment he is born he has already absorbed the
elemental energy from his first cry and the energy of that hour will be programed
into his whole existence of body and mind.
The time energy from year, month, and day and hour pillar will impact
his life’s journey which cannot be change.
This is also known as the heaven luck (refer to my article The 4 planes which governs human destiny)

10 self-elements
We already know that there are 5 universal energies wood,
fire, earth, metal and water and each of the element energy has a ying and yang
polarity. The day stem of the birth
denotes our self-element and 10 types of self elements.
Zooming into Edmund’s chart, the day heavenly stem Ren water is his self-element, which mean he will show the base* traits of Ren
water equivalent to sea or vast river which is free flowing and temperamental
like the sea. Self-element is also known
as the day master.

* - as birth chart is govern by a few or all 5 element energies, sometimes self element of water person might not show obvious traits of self element due to interaction among elements. Example is water self element person has too much earth energy in the chart, earth control water, chances this person will not be so flexible or free flowing as water.

Strength
of self-element
Most master would start to understand an individual by
classifying the strength of the self
element in the day stem.
Generally self-element is strengthened by :-
- supported by same element in the branch rooting,
- Supported by same element in the next pillar
- born in the month of same element
- there is resource element which can easily create him
- Chart interaction which transform to element which can support self-element
A moderate strength self-element which is in balance with
all the 5 elements’ strength in the birth chart is preferred. Each element governs a life’s aspects such as
wealth, resource learning, self-discipline, output creation and friends in our
life in relation to the day master element.
If self has too much resource learning in his destiny, chances are the
person would be spoon fed all his life and tend to be lazy. We shall learn more about all the element
role in relation to day master in the consecutive article.
Another example is, if the day master is earth and has too much
earth in the chart and there are no other element to control the earth, then
the person could be very slow as earth is almost non moving!
The five elements must exist in harmony and balanced relationship
in the chart for a person to have a healthy life. One of the way to exist in harmony with each
element would be for the element to produce the other element in the pillar
next to each other. With smooth
transition of energy, the owner of the chart would have a good qi and healthy.
