10155901 divide by 24 = 423162.5416667 (in year 1925, 太乙 starts at 9 巽) 10155961 divide by 24 = 423165.0416667 (in year 1985, 太乙 starts at 1 乾) 10156021 divide by 24 = 423162.5416667 (in year 2045, 太乙 starts at 9 巽)
Mathematically, 1 divide 24 = 0.041667 (this means 1 count in 1 palace, 太乙 movement is 3 count per palace. So, at the 4th count, it moves to the next palace, example 0.58668).
Example: 2010 less 1985 = 25, rotate anti-clockwise, 3 count to 1 palace.
乾 palace 1 is where 太乙 sits in 1985, that is the 1st count. 5th count end @6 兑, 8th count end @7 坤, 20th count end @3 艮, 50th count end @1 乾, the 60th count end @9 巽.
Then count 25 in anti-clockwise. Every 3 year count in 1 palace (天, 地, 人)So. 2010 year is in 乾, palace 1 governs 地
Example: 2020 less 1985 = 35, 离 palace 9, govern 人 (In palace 2, also can reference to 坤, 天芮, 死门) So, in 奇门 focus on 人, 门.
Where 太乙 governs for the year, (天, 地, 人)the analysis on 奇门遁甲, the focus or weighs heavier on the respective realm and the 2 related sectors (i.e. 离 palace 9, 天英, 景门 or palace 2 which reference to 坤, 天芮, 死门).
天 – Focus on Stars (九星). 地 – Focus on Earth & Deity (地盘, 八神) 人 – Focus on Door (八门)
During the era of the past, BaZi practitioner learn BaZi by way of memorize verse and poems. In the modern time, there is a rely on techonlgy such as Apps and Online Calculator.
In the poem (below), let’s take a closer look and understand the corresponding stems/ branch. And we would realize that the 4 Earth Branch often regarded as tomb or storage (i.e Dragon, Dog, Ox. Goat) are left out.
甲乙巳午報君知, 丙戊申宮丁己雞。 庚豬辛鼠壬逢虎, 癸人見卯入雲梯。
Yang Wood Corresponding with Snake Yin Wood Corresponding with Horse Yang Fire Corresponding with Monkey Yin Fire Corresponding with Rooster Yang Earth Corresponding with Monkey Yin Earth Corresponding with Rooster Yang Metal Corresponding with Pig Yin Metal Corresponding with Rat Yang Water Corresponding with Tiger Yin Water Corresponding with Rabbit
The Academic Stars are basically the Day Stem’s output branch (i.e. Wood produce Fire) only exception is Earth which goes on to the next element as Metal; there is a FengShui reason and application for it. The Academic Stars comes in both polarity – Yin / Yang branch that is associated with Day Stem.
In the classics, ONLY the day stem is taken as the point of reference. Whereas in modern days there is a NEW-AGE view and the BaZi year, month and hour (or even minutes) stems are regard as reference points. And, it has also been programmed and build into Apps and Online Calculator. There is no right or wrong, it’s therefore up to each practitioner application and analysis.
