The little key: seven planets and Rahu in seven houses, from the weekday of birth and the Burmese year. No sky at all.

墓 Tomb
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.
Ten gods
| 比肩 Friend | the same as you: peers, self-reliance, rivalry | year branch, day branch (minor) |
| 劫財 Rob Wealth | competitors and comrades; spending, risk, generosity | month branch (minor) |
| 食神 Eating God | ease, talent, appetite; what you produce without strain | month stem |
| 傷官 Hurting Officer | brilliance that will not be ruled; performance, rebellion | year branch (minor) |
| 偏財 Indirect Wealth | windfalls, business, the father; money that moves | — |
| 正財 Direct Wealth | earned income, thrift, the wife in a man's chart | — |
| 七殺 Seven Killings | pressure, force, discipline; the enemy that makes a general | year stem, day branch |
| 正官 Direct Officer | authority, rank, the law; the husband in a woman's chart | hour stem, hour branch |
| 偏印 Indirect Resource | unorthodox learning, solitude, the stepmother | day branch (minor) |
| 正印 Direct Resource | support, education, the mother; what protects you | year branch (minor), month branch |
Branch relations
| 合 combination | 戌卯 | year – hour: the two bind: alliance, attachment, a matter held together |
| 三合 three harmony (Fire) | 寅午戌 | year – month – day: the branches that make one element together |
This year · 2026 丙午
丙 is your 偏印 Indirect Resource — unorthodox learning, solitude, the stepmother.
The year branch neither meets, clashes, harms nor combines with your birth year: no Tai Sui this year.
三合 with the year, month, day branches.
伏吟: the month branch repeats the year's.
Five elements
| Wood | 39.6% | |
| Fire | 17.8% | |
| Earth | 27.7% | |
| Metal | 14.9% | |
| Water | 0% |
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
Wu — Earth yang, and weak (support 4.6 against 5.5).
Resource Fire · output Metal · wealth Water · officer Wood
Favourable: Earth and Fire.
Born inside Mangzhong — Grain in ear. 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 backward from the month pillar, beginning at 5. Direction is set by the year stem's polarity against sex — here a yang year and a woman; the starting age by the distance to the neighbouring sectional term, three days to the year.
