Ten Gods Calculator
Enter your birth date and time to see the Ten God on every pillar, your hidden stems, and how your Ten Gods are weighted. A Ten Gods lookup table is below.
How it's calculated
- 1
Build the four pillars and find the Day Master, the heavenly stem of the day pillar.
- 2
Turn every other stem and hidden stem into a Ten God by its element relationship and yin-yang with the Day Master: same element is Friend or Rob Wealth, what I produce is Eating God or Hurting Officer, what I control is Wealth, what controls me is Officer or Seven Killings, what produces me is Resource.
- 3
Weigh the stems and hidden stems and turn the ten totals into percentages. The Day Master itself isn't counted.
Ten Gods lookup table
Find your day stem (the heavenly stem of your day pillar) down the left and the other stem across the top. The cell where they meet is the Ten God that stem is to you. For an earthly branch, look up its hidden stems.
| Day stem | 甲 | 乙 | 丙 | 丁 | 戊 | 己 | 庚 | 辛 | 壬 | 癸 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 甲 | Friend | Rob Wealth | Eating God | Hurting Officer | Indirect Wealth | Direct Wealth | Seven Killings | Direct Officer | Indirect Resource | Direct Resource |
| 乙 | Rob Wealth | Friend | Hurting Officer | Eating God | Direct Wealth | Indirect Wealth | Direct Officer | Seven Killings | Direct Resource | Indirect Resource |
| 丙 | Indirect Resource | Direct Resource | Friend | Rob Wealth | Eating God | Hurting Officer | Indirect Wealth | Direct Wealth | Seven Killings | Direct Officer |
| 丁 | Direct Resource | Indirect Resource | Rob Wealth | Friend | Hurting Officer | Eating God | Direct Wealth | Indirect Wealth | Direct Officer | Seven Killings |
| 戊 | Seven Killings | Direct Officer | Indirect Resource | Direct Resource | Friend | Rob Wealth | Eating God | Hurting Officer | Indirect Wealth | Direct Wealth |
| 己 | Direct Officer | Seven Killings | Direct Resource | Indirect Resource | Rob Wealth | Friend | Hurting Officer | Eating God | Direct Wealth | Indirect Wealth |
| 庚 | Indirect Wealth | Direct Wealth | Seven Killings | Direct Officer | Indirect Resource | Direct Resource | Friend | Rob Wealth | Eating God | Hurting Officer |
| 辛 | Direct Wealth | Indirect Wealth | Direct Officer | Seven Killings | Direct Resource | Indirect Resource | Rob Wealth | Friend | Hurting Officer | Eating God |
| 壬 | Eating God | Hurting Officer | Indirect Wealth | Direct Wealth | Seven Killings | Direct Officer | Indirect Resource | Direct Resource | Friend | Rob Wealth |
| 癸 | Hurting Officer | Eating God | Direct Wealth | Indirect Wealth | Direct Officer | Seven Killings | Direct Resource | Indirect Resource | Rob Wealth | Friend |
The rule: the same element gives Friend or Rob Wealth; the element you produce, Eating God or Hurting Officer; the element you control, Indirect or Direct Wealth; the element that controls you, Seven Killings or Direct Officer; the element that produces you, Indirect or Direct Resource. Matching yin and yang takes the first name, opposite yin and yang the second.
Worked example
Born 4 February 1990 at 10:00 in Taipei: the pillars are Ji Si, Ding Chou, Geng Zi and Xin Si, with a Geng Metal Day Master. The year stem Ji is Direct Resource, the month stem Ding is Direct Officer and the hour stem Xin is Rob Wealth. With hidden stems included, Direct Resource leads at 31.3%, followed by Rob Wealth and Hurting Officer at 20.6% each.
FAQ
How do I find my Ten Gods?
Find your Day Master, then check how every other stem and hidden stem relates to it. Enter your birth date above and the pillar table labels the Ten God on each pillar.
How are Ten Gods percentages calculated?
The stems and hidden stems of all four pillars are weighted by strength, the ten Ten Gods are totalled, and each total becomes a percentage. The Day Master itself isn't counted.
Is my highest Ten God my chart structure?
Not necessarily. A structure also depends on the month branch, which stems show on top, and how the stars restrain each other. Having Seven Killings is not the same as a Seven Killings structure. The percentages show which themes stand out.
Can I see my Ten Gods without my birth time?
You can see the pillars that stay the same all day. Without the hour pillar the Ten Gods are incomplete, so the percentages need the birth hour.
