Start with the familiar Horse year, then read inward through month, day and hour. Every coordinate below opens into the guide that explains it.
Start with your Day Master and chart relationships
Your shown Day Master is 辛 Xin, Yin Metal. It is the day stem against which the chart names other stems.
- Year stem 庚 Geng: Rob Wealth because Metal matches the Day Master's Metal, with different polarity.
- Month stem 壬 Ren: Hurting Officer because Water is generated by the Day Master's Metal, with different polarity.
