How to Analyze Your Personal Fortune for 2026 Using Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny)

To analyze your personal fortune for 2026 using Bazi, the core lies in understanding the interactive relationship between the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of the "Flowing Year" 2026 (Bing Wu Year) and your personal "Destiny Chart" (Bazi). Here are the detailed analysis steps and methods:---### I. Understanding the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch of the 2026 Flowing Year* 2026 is the Bing Wu Year. * Heavenly Stem: Bing Fire (Yang Fire) * Earthly Branch: Wu Fire (Yang Fire)* This means 2026 is a year of extremely strong Fire energy, and it is pure Fire, without other Five Elements mixed in.---### II. Preparing Your Personal Bazi Chart* Accurate birth year, month, day, and hour (to the minute), converted into the Bazi Four Pillars (Year Pillar, Month Pillar, Day Pillar, Hour Pillar).* Determine your Day Master (Day Stem), which is the central point of analysis.* Identify the Ten Gods and Five Element attributes represented by each Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch in your chart.* Chart your Grand Cycle (Da Yun, which changes every ten years).---### III. Core Analysis Method: Interaction between Flowing Year and Bazi Chart#### 1. Heavenly Stem Interaction Analysis (Bing Fire's Interaction with Your Chart's Heavenly Stems)* Bing Fire's Ten God Relationship with the Day Master: * Direct Friend/Rob Wealth (same Five Element as Day Master): If your Day Master is Jia Wood, Bing Fire is the Food God; if Yi Wood, Bing Fire is the Hurting Officer. If Wu Earth, Bing Fire is the Indirect Resource; if Ji Earth, Bing Fire is the Direct Resource. If Geng Metal, Bing Fire is the Seven Killings; if Xin Metal, Bing Fire is the Direct Officer. If Ren Water, Bing Fire is the Indirect Wealth; if Gui Water, Bing Fire is the Direct Wealth. If Bing Fire, Bing Fire is the Direct Friend; if Ding Fire, Bing Fire is the Rob Wealth. * Significance: Analyze what Ten God Bing Fire represents to your Day Master, and whether this Ten God is a Favorable God or an Unfavorable God in your chart. * Officer/Seven Killings: Represents career, reputation, pressure, legal issues, health, and for women, relationships. * Wealth Star: Represents wealth, relationships, and interpersonal connections. * Resource Star: Represents academics, career, noble people, health, real estate, and mother. * Eating God/Hurting Officer: Represents talent, thoughts, investments, disputes, health, children, and for women, relationships. * Direct Friend/Rob Wealth: Represents competition, cooperation, siblings/friends, physical strength, and financial loss. * Example: If your Day Master is Xin Metal, Bing Fire is the Direct Officer. If the Direct Officer is your Favorable God, then 2026 may bring career and reputational improvements; if it's an Unfavorable God, you might face pressure, petty people, or health issues.* Bing Fire's "Heavenly Stem Combination" with Other Heavenly Stems in the Chart: * Bing-Xin combination into Water: If there is Xin Metal in your chart, then Bing-Xin combines to form Water. The power of Water increases. * Significance: The Ten God represented by the combined Heavenly Stem will change or be restricted, affecting its original function. At the same time, whether the combined Five Element is a Favorable God is also crucial.#### 2. Earthly Branch Interaction Analysis (Wu Fire's Interaction with Your Chart's Earthly Branches)* Wu Fire's "Clash, Combination, Punishment, Harm, Break" with Earthly Branches in the Chart: * Clash: Zi-Wu Clash. If there is Zi Water in your chart, a Zi-Wu Clash forms. This signifies change, instability, conflict, and disputes. The palace being clashed (Year, Month, Day, Hour) affects corresponding areas of life (elders, parents/siblings, spouse/self, children/subordinates). * Combination: * Six Combinations: Wu-Wei Combination into Fire. If there is Wei Earth in your chart, Wu-Wei combines to form Fire. This signifies closeness, cooperation, and bonding. * Three-Harmony Combination: Yin-Wu-Xu Three-Harmony Fire Combination. If there are Yin Wood and Xu Earth in your chart, a Yin-Wu-Xu Three-Harmony Fire Combination forms. The power of Fire will be greatly enhanced. * Half-Combinations: Yin-Wu Half Combination into Fire, Wu-Xu Half Combination into Fire. * Punishment: Wu-Wu Self-Punishment. If there is another Wu Fire in your chart, a Self-Punishment forms. This signifies internal friction, entanglement, self-inflicted worries, and obsessive thinking. * Harm: Chou-Wu Harm. If there is Chou Earth in your chart, a Chou-Wu Harm forms. This signifies hidden adversaries, discord, and damage. * Break: Mao-Wu Break. If there is Mao Wood in your chart, a Mao-Wu Break forms. This signifies financial losses, breakdown of interpersonal relationships, or unsuccessful collaborations.* Significance: Various interactive relationships will strengthen or weaken the power of the corresponding Five Elements in the chart and trigger changes in the areas of life represented by the affected palaces.#### 3. Five Element Strength Balance Analysis* 2026: Strong Fire: Both Bing and Wu are Fire. * Likes Fire: If your Bazi chart favors Fire (e.g., your chart has excessive Water that needs Fire for regulation or to be drained), then your fortune in 2026 may be better, bringing power, activeness, and prominent reputation. * Dislikes Fire: If your Bazi chart dislikes Fire (e.g., your chart already has excessive Fire, and encountering more Fire leads to
