What Are Luck Pillars?
Luck Pillars represent 10-year periods that influence the energy landscape of life. Each pillar introduces a new stem and branch pair that interacts with the natal chart.
How They Are Calculated
The direction depends on gender and the Yin/Yang polarity of the birth year stem:
- Male with Yang year stem or female with Yin year stem: forward
- Male with Yin year stem or female with Yang year stem: backward
Reading Your Luck Pillars
Each 10-year pillar brings new elemental energy. Consider whether it supports or challenges the Day Master and what Ten God themes it creates.
