Look inside
戊 (wù) stands fifth among the ten heavenly stems: Earth, Yang. Its partner is 己 (jǐ), Yin Earth, the field and the garden. Where 己 is ground that people plant in, 戊 is ground that people look up at: the mountain on the horizon, the cliff behind the village, the great dyke, the plateau, the rammed-earth wall that runs around a city and gives it a name.
The old Ziping texts sum the stem up in one famous passage, from the Dī Tiān Suǐ (滴天髓), a work that BaZi readers have quoted for centuries. This book gives the eight short lines in Chinese, with its own plain translation.
Two mountains of the same rock can be entirely different places. One stands in a warm, rainy country in May, covered in forest, with streams running off its flanks. The other stands in a high, dry range in August, bare and white. A third is under snow in January, and a fourth is losing its leaves in October. The rock is the same. The mountain is not.
BaZi does the same thing with the month. Whatever month you arrived in decides the climate your Day Master has to live in, and a classical reader checks it first. Its name is the month command (月令, yuè lìng). The lower half of the month pillar names whichever element governs the season, and a Day Master's strength turns largely on its footing with that element. The 淵海子平 calls the month the 提綱 (tí gāng) of the chart, the cord a fisherman pulls to raise his net, and the Ziping Zhenquan (子平真詮) sends the reader to the same place first: 八字用神，專求月令, the Useful God of a chart is looked for in its month command.
Look at the branch of your month pillar, the second column from the left on the calculator, and circle its season.
Sample pages. The book is laid out for 6 × 9 in pages; the EPUB and the online reader adapt to your screen.

Questions
How do I know that my Day Master is Wu?
The Day Master is the heavenly stem of the day you were born. If your Day pillar starts with 戊, for example 戊子 or 戊午, this is your book. The free calculator shows it in a few seconds.
Is this a reading of my own chart?
It describes every Wu chart, with six invented readers whose charts are worked through. A personal reading looks at all four pillars of your own chart and your Luck Pillars: see Readings.

Can I give it as a gift?
Yes. Choose “Give as a gift”, enter the recipient’s email and the day it should arrive. We email them a link on that day and send you a confirmation.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, whenever something is wrong on our side: a file that does not open or arrives damaged, the wrong book, or a double charge is refunded in full. Because the book is delivered at once, the 14-day right of withdrawal for digital content ends when you confirm instant delivery at checkout; where the law of your country gives a wider right (for example 7 days in Brazil), that law applies. Just write to support@bazi.cards with your order number. The full terms are on the refund policy page.
This book explains the symbolism of a BaZi chart in the classical Zi Ping tradition. It does not predict events and is not medical, financial or legal advice.
