Ten Gods and Patterns Introduction

Explore the Ten Gods in BaZi — the symbolic forces that describe personality, relationships, and life patterns.

Reading Human Nature Through Structure

Within the logic of BaZi, the Ten Gods (十神) are not deities, but symbolic roles
ten expressions of how the Five Elements interact with your Day Master, the self-element at the core of your chart.

Each “God” represents a specific way energy moves in relation to you:
creation, control, support, and transformation.
Together, they form a living network that describes your personality, motivation, and relationships.

For example:

  • Direct Resource (正印) symbolizes knowledge, nurture, and trust in intuition.

  • Output (食神 / 伤官) reflects creativity, expression, and independence.

  • Wealth (正财 / 偏财) reveals one’s attitude toward value, responsibility, and the material world.

  • Power (正官 / 七杀) represents discipline, leadership, and how you respond to authority.

  • Companions (比肩 / 劫财) illustrate how you connect with others — cooperation or competition.

The Ten Gods create patterns — recurring combinations that explain why people behave, feel, and think in particular ways.
These patterns are not moral judgments, but reflections of balance:
when the Five Elements interact harmoniously, energy flows naturally; when they conflict, tension invites awareness and growth.

In modern terms, the Ten Gods system functions like an archetypal map of human psychology — a structured, symbolic model of how energy expresses itself through character and experience.

To study the Ten Gods is to understand not just what happens in life, but why
revealing the structure behind choice, emotion, and destiny itself.
