Ten gods and hidden stems
Ten gods and hidden stems
Ten gods name how another stem stands toward the day master: what produces it, what it produces, what controls it, what it controls, and what matches it, split again by whether the polarity agrees. A branch shows one character and can hide further stems inside.

What produces me
Resource: direct and indirect
A stem that produces the day master is resource. The opposite polarity is direct resource. The same polarity is indirect resource. Resource means something is producing the day master. It is not a diploma.

What I produce
Output: eating god and hurting officer
A stem the day master produces is output. The same polarity is the eating god. The opposite polarity is the hurting officer. That is the outlet side of the day master, not a score for being expressive.

What controls me
What controls the day master
A stem that controls the day master is officer or seven killings. Opposite polarity is the direct officer. Matching polarity is seven killings. That is a rule or a pressure facing the day master. It is not a job title and not a disaster.

What I control
Wealth: direct and indirect
A stem the day master controls is wealth. Opposite polarity is direct wealth. Matching polarity is indirect wealth. Wealth is the element the day master controls. It is not an account balance.
View definition →
Same as me
Peers: friend and rob wealth
A stem of the same element as the day master is a peer. Matching polarity is the friend. Differing polarity is rob wealth. That is the same element standing beside the day master. It is not a list of friends.

Five relations, ten names
What produces the day master is resource. What it produces is output. What controls it is officer and killing. What it controls is wealth. What matches it is peer. Matching or differing polarity splits each into two names. They describe a role, not a job and not a ten-point scale.
Two ten gods inside one month branch
Illustration: the day master is Jia, and the month branch hides Wu as main qi and Yi as middle qi. Wu is indirect wealth, Yi is rob wealth, and Wu weighs more. Write: the main qi here is indirect wealth, the next layer is rob wealth. Do not say wealth and peer are half each, and do not turn indirect wealth into cash already received.
Common mistakes
- Turning ten gods into a job assessment.
- Splitting three hidden stems into equal thirds.
- Labeling ten gods when there is no day master.

Frequently asked questions
Why not memorise the ten names as ten equal chapters?
The ten names come from five relations. Learn produces-me, I-produce, controls-me, I-control, and same-as-me, then see how polarity splits the names.
Which counts, the visible stem or the hidden stem?
Both. Visible stems sit outside. Hidden stems carry weights. Write both layers and say which is heavier.
Can ten gods recommend a job?
No. They only say which relation a character has to the day master. They are not career or financial advice.
