Ten Gods
What the Ten Gods Represent
A Relationship Map Around the Day Master
The Ten Gods are derived by comparing every stem to the Day Master by element and polarity. They describe how energy interacts: Resource, Output, Wealth, Officer, and Peer roles. This turns abstract elements into usable roles, but the roles are relational, not fixed labels. Rule summary: Companion = same element; Output = element the Day Master generates; Wealth = element the Day Master controls; Power = element that controls the Day Master; Resource = element that produces the Day Master. Opposite Yin-Yang is Zheng (Direct), same polarity is Pian (Indirect).
Ten Gods in Real Life
Career & Wealth: This overview becomes useful when you stop reading one role page at a time. It lets you compare Officer vs Seven Killings, Direct Wealth vs Indirect Wealth, or Eating God vs Hurting Officer before turning those roles into a chart judgment.
Love & Relationship: In relationship reading, the Ten Gods are easiest to distort when one role is isolated. This hub helps you compare responsibility, output, resources, competition, and desire as a system rather than as one fixed label.
Personality: Treat this page as the cluster map for role logic around the Day Master. Its real value is helping the paired detail pages stay legible, instead of collapsing into generic “this role can be good or bad” summaries.
Health & Lifestyle: Use the overview to see which role family is overactive, missing, or distorted. Then move into the matching detail page for a narrower read on expression, pressure, or recovery patterns.
Classic Notes and Practice
How to Use the Ten Gods
Start With The Active Pair: Do not read one Ten God page alone. Begin with its paired counterpart so you can see direct vs indirect, stable vs opportunistic, or supportive vs competitive expression.
Map Role Families Before Meanings: Officer/Seven Killings, Resource, Peer, Output, and Wealth each solve different problems. Identify the family first, then refine the meaning.
Return To Timing And Structure: After finding the relevant role page, go back to chart balance, supporting elements, and luck cycles. Ten Gods are role signals, not standalone destinies.

Ten Gods FAQs
Start with the role pair closest to your question: Officer vs Seven Killings for pressure and authority, Wealth pair for money, Output pair for expression, Resource pair for learning, or Peer pair for autonomy and competition.
Because each pair explains the same relationship to the Day Master through two different polarities. The contrast usually matters more than the isolated role label.
Move next into one of the paired Ten God detail pages, then cross-check it with a support layer like Gan-Zhi or Five Elements so the role stays tied to structure.
