Ten Gods: First See Whether They Support, Drain, Consume, or Restrain
A ten god is a label for how another stem relates to the day master. It is not good or bad luck. First see whether the day master is strong or weak, then see whether this god supports, drains, consumes, or restrains. The label does not override that reading.
- Bi Jian (Friend) Same as the Day Master, Counted as Support
- Jie Cai (Rob Wealth) Also Support. The Question Is What It Competes For
- Shi Shen (Eating God) Output Is Not Good Fortune. Look at Strength First
- Shang Guan (Hurting Officer) When the Drain Runs Too Far, Look for the Seal Before the Officer
- Pian Cai (Indirect Wealth) What the Day Master Controls Is Wealth. A Weak Chart Cannot Carry It
- Zheng Cai (Direct Wealth) Wealth That Consumes. Steady Does Not Mean It Is Wanted
- Qi Sha (Seven Killings) What Restrains. Usable Only When It Is Controlled
- Zheng Guan (Direct Officer) It Also Restrains. Seeing the Officer Is Not Rank
- Pian Yin (Indirect Resource) It Can Birth the Day Master. Too Much Takes the Output
- Zheng Yin (Direct Resource) The Seal Births. Another Seal on a Strong Day Master Clogs
