BaZi / Ten Gods

What are the Ten Gods in BaZi?

Ten Gods are relationship labels derived from the day stem and other stems or branches. LifeSense shows them as computed field labels, not as a reading of character or fortune.

What shows up in the chart

  • Ten-god labels derived from the day stem against each pillar stem or branch when the calculation is available.
  • Ten-god counts per pillar when the engine exposes them.
  • Element and yin-yang labels attached to the stems used in the derivation.
  • Unavailable state when the required pillar fields are missing.

Why exact time matters

The hour pillar ten-god depends on birth time. Unknown-time charts keep hour-pillar ten-god fields unavailable or low-confidence while date-based ten-gods can still show.

What a Ten God is here

In LifeSense, a Ten God is a named relationship between the day stem and another stem or branch. The page shows the computed labels and counts without turning them into character or fortune.

What the labels do not do

A ten-god label is not a judgment, rating, or life reading in LifeSense. It is a named chart fact with visible availability and confidence boundaries.

Use this guide with the calculator

This guide is meant to help you recognize the fields after the chart is calculated, not to replace the calculator.

  • Look for these method labels in the result: BaZi, Ten Gods, Day Master, Heavenly Stem, Earthly Branch, Five Elements.
  • Before exporting, check the time basis: The hour pillar ten-god depends on birth time. Unknown-time charts keep hour-pillar ten-god fields unavailable or low-confidence while date-based ten-gods can still show.
  • If the result labels a field unavailable, approximate, or low-confidence, keep that boundary in your notes.
