The Four Pillars of Destiny, also known as "Ba-Zi", which means "eight characters" or "eight words" in Chinese, is a Chinese astrological concept that a person's destiny or fate can be divined by the two sexagenary cycle characters assigned to their birth year, month, day, and hour.
This type of cosmological astrology is also widely used in South Korea, Japan and Vietnam.
Four Pillars of Destiny can be dated back to the Han Dynasty, but it was not systematic as it is known today.
Days, hours, months, and years are all assigned one of the ten Celestial Stems (Chinese: 十天干) and one of the twelve Terrestrial Branches (Chinese: 十二地支) in the sexagenary cycle.
A person's fortune is determined by looking up the branch and stem characters for each of these four parts of their birth time, with relation to the 10-year luck cycle (Chinese: 十年大运).
The Scholarly School began with Xú Zi Píng (徐子平) at the beginning of the Song Dynasty.
Xú founded the pure theoretical basis of the system.
Representatives of this school and their publications include: Shō-Kan is also the relative pronoun among the Heavenly Stems.
A birthday in the Chinese calendar will be written甲子, 甲戌, 甲申, 甲午, 甲辰, 甲寅, whereas the Tei (丁) will belong to the Shō-Kan.
When the Heavenly Stems will be 甲 in a birthday for the Chinese calendar, the 丁 acts as a Shō-Kan factor, as follows: The chart is as follows: The main structure of his chart is 傷官 (Shō-Kan), 格.
The most important element and worker in his chart is the 甲 or 乙.
The Heavenly Stem 乙 is in Ku Bo (空亡, the workings are on hold).
From the age of 8 to the age of 18 : 辛卯 Advocates of the Shō-Kan system believe that Hirohito's chart somehow explains the defeat of Japan in World War II after the catastrophic atomic bomb explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Hee[2] for example, proposed that it takes 240 years for a given four-pillar quadruplet to repeat itself.
Therefore, if you have a certain day and time, the set of four pillars will repeat itself in 60 years.
For example, the four-pillar quadruplets for 1984-3-18 and 2044-3-3 are exactly the same (i.e. 甲子-丁卯-辛亥-xx) and they are spaced only by 60 years.
