Ba Zi Major Luck Cycles and Annual Luck

A Major Luck Cycle usually runs a decade and sets the broader tone and theme.

The annual luck is the spark of a single year, where the concrete focus lands.

Don't judge by its name. Read how it relates to your Day Master, favorable elements, spouse palace, and wealth or officer stars.

When a cycle brings the force your chart needs, progress comes easier; when it feeds the unfavorable, it asks for a steadier hand.

A year's stem and branch meet your natal chart and current cycle through combination, clash, punishment, harm, generation, and control—and those meetings tend to set events off.

The same year lands differently on different people, because each chart and cycle is its own.
