Ten-God Combinations in Bazi

Learn how Ten-God roles interact through generation, control, structure, strength, position, timing, and explicit formation or failure conditions.

Editorially reviewed:

Overview

Ten-God combinations describe how two or more roles derived from the Day Master can operate together. A named relation is valid only after the symbols, season, roots, exposure, access, structure, timing, and counterevidence have been checked.

Reading role
This category covers a repeatable reading framework and named relations among Officer, Seven Killings, Resource, Output, Wealth, and Companion roles.
Evidence standard
A defensible claim identifies each participating stem or hidden stem, its Ten-God mapping, operational strength, connection path, formation criteria, counterevidence, and relevant chart layer.
Interpretive boundary
Combination names are traditional structural descriptions. They do not guarantee personality, rank, wealth, marriage, health, conflict, or any other real-world event.

What the Ten-God Combinations catalog covers

This category covers a repeatable reading framework and named relations among Officer, Seven Killings, Resource, Output, Wealth, and Companion roles.

This hub organizes 51 indexed topics under one editorial model so definitions, derivations, interpretation order, and limits remain consistent across the catalog.

  • Begin with the definition before using an interpretive keyword.
  • Keep the named concept connected to stems, branches, season, placement, and the complete chart.

How to use the topic index

Every Ten-God Combinations entry preserves its workbook name and Chinese term, then places it inside a smaller conceptual group for easier comparison.

Use neighboring entries to compare similar rules, but verify each page independently because a shared family name does not make two concepts interchangeable.

  • Search by English title, simplified term, traditional term, or a common alias.
  • Follow related concepts when a rule depends on another part of the Bazi system.

A disciplined reading sequence

Map every role from the Day Master, establish Month Command and strength, trace the generation or control path, then test structure, position, timing, failure conditions, and competing evidence.

Record the observed chart facts first, then state the rule being applied, and only afterward form a bounded interpretation. This separates calculation from judgment.

  • Confirm the input, lookup anchor, and chart position before interpreting.
  • Check whether season, strength, combinations, and timing support or weaken the proposed reading.

Evidence, school differences, and limits

A defensible claim identifies each participating stem or hidden stem, its Ten-God mapping, operational strength, connection path, formation criteria, counterevidence, and relevant chart layer.

Combination names are traditional structural descriptions. They do not guarantee personality, rank, wealth, marriage, health, conflict, or any other real-world event.

  • Treat named rules as evidence with a stated scope, not as automatic life-event predictions.
  • When traditions differ, identify the convention instead of blending incompatible thresholds.
