Annual Influences and the Day Master
Derive annual Ten Gods from the fixed natal Day Master, then assess roots, relations, and context without changing identity or personality.
Overview
The natal Day Master is the Day Stem at birth and remains fixed. The annual stem and hidden stems can be mapped to Ten Gods relative to it, while the annual branch can add roots and branch relations. These are timed contacts, not a new Day Master and not a temporary personality replacement. Preserve the natal baseline, calculate each annual relation deterministically, and interpret only after structure, strength method, Luck Pillar, and counterevidence.

Keep the birth Day Master unchanged
Use the verified birth Day Stem as the reference for every natal and timed Ten-God mapping.
Neither an annual stem nor a strong annual element replaces the Day Master or creates a second identity.
- Use one natal reference.
- Never substitute the annual stem.
Derive the annual relationships precisely
Map the annual stem and each annual hidden stem to Ten Gods by element and polarity relative to the Day Master.
Separately record generation, control, combinations, roots, and branch relations so unlike mechanisms are not merged.
- Use deterministic mappings.
- Preserve stem and branch provenance.
Interpret through the natal and luck-cycle context
Assess whether annual functions have roots, access, and relevance under the selected strength, structure, or useful-function method.
Compare the active Luck Pillar and contrary evidence before describing temporary themes.
- Name the selected method.
- Keep mixed evidence visible.
A year does not change who someone is
Annual contacts cannot diagnose personality, morality, mental health, competence, or another permanent trait.
Do not use them to justify discrimination, medical claims, or irreversible decisions.
- Avoid identity labels.
- Keep conclusions temporary and conditional.
