Ten Gods in BaZi
The Ten Gods (十神) are the ten relationships each character in your chart can have with your Day Master. They translate raw elements into life themes — wealth, career, authority, creativity, support and peers.
The five pairs
- Companion & Rob Wealth (same element as you) — peers, competition, self-reliance.
- Eating God & Hurting Officer (what you produce) — expression, talent, output.
- Direct & Indirect Wealth (what you control) — money, resources, desire.
- Direct Officer & Seven Killings (what controls you) — authority, discipline, pressure.
- Direct & Indirect Resource (what produces you) — support, learning, protection.
Why the Ten Gods matter
- They show where your energy naturally flows and which themes dominate your chart.
- Combined with luck pillars, they explain when wealth, career or relationship themes become active.
FAQ
Are the Ten Gods literally gods?
No. “Ten Gods” (or Ten Deities) is a traditional name for ten functional relationships to your Day Master, not supernatural beings.
Which Ten God is best?
None is universally best. Their value depends on whether they balance your Day Master and chart.
