Chart Structure
How to Read Ba Zi Chart Structure
Ge Ju summarizes the chart's overall momentum—first Day Master strength, then whether Ten Gods form a pattern, then whether it's regular or special.
Don't rush a label: judge Day Master strength, see which Ten Gods dominate, then discuss officer patterns, wealth patterns, follow patterns, or other special forms.
What structure summarizes
Structure is the chart's main theme—who leads, who gathers, whether the Day Master can carry it.
The same Day Master with different Ten Gods can read as management steadiness or creative output.
Reading regular patterns
Regular patterns often start from the month command's revealed Ten God and whether the Day Master can balance it—officer with seal, output feeding wealth, peers supporting the self.
The point is smooth flow and a useful god, not complexity for its own sake.
Why special patterns need care
Follow, transform, and dominant-element patterns need extreme conditions—don't apply them at the first sign of imbalance.
The name is an entry; what matters is chart momentum, favorability, and whether cycles activate or break it.
