Read right to left: year, month, day, hour. The day stem is the day master — you — and everything else is read against it. Above each stem is its ten god, the relation it bears to the day master; below each branch, the stems it hides and theirs, then the day master's life stage (十二長生) on that branch — the day pillar's own is where the self sits.

| 害 harm | 卯辰 | year – hour: a quiet undermining between the two |
| 合 combination | 卯戌 | month – day: the two bind: alliance, attachment, a matter held together |
| 害 harm | 卯辰 | month – hour: a quiet undermining between the two |

This year · 2026 丙午
丙 is your 偏財 Indirect Wealth — windfalls, business, the father; money that moves.
The year branch neither meets, clashes, harms nor combines with your birth year: no Tai Sui this year.
Five elements
| Wood | 36.5% | |
| Fire | 13.5% | |
| Earth | 20.8% | |
| Metal | 5.2% | |
| Water | 24% |
Stems count fully, a branch's principal hidden stem fully, the rest at a half and a third. Schools weigh this differently, so the breakdown is shown rather than only a verdict.
Day master
Ren — Water yang, and weak (support 2.8 against 6.8).
Resource Metal · output Wood · wealth Fire · officer Earth
Favourable: Water and Metal.
Born inside Jingzhe — Insects wake. The year turns at Lichun, not in January, which is why a birth in late January belongs to the year before.

Ten years each, running forward from the month pillar, beginning at 7.3. Direction is set by the year stem's polarity against sex — here a yin year and a woman; the starting age by the distance to the neighbouring sectional term, three days to the year.
