Method of Calculation​

The calculation of Taiji Guiren is usually done through the person's day stem or year stem. According to classical destiny studies, Taiji Guiren appears in specific years and dates. The method is as follows:

  • Jia (甲) and Yi (乙) born in Zi (子) and Wu (午)
  • Bing (丙) and Ding (丁) born in Mao (卯) and You (酉)
  • Wu (戊) and Ji (己) born in Chen (辰), Xu (戌), Chou (丑), and Wei (未)
  • Geng (庚) and Xin (辛) born in Yin (寅) and Hai (亥)
  • Ren (壬) and Gui (癸) born in Si (巳) and Shen (申)

By observing the person's year stem or day stem and matching it with the above years and Earthly Branches, one can determine if the person has Taiji Guiren. If this auspicious star is present, it usually indicates that the person will have outstanding intelligence and achievements, gaining significant success in academics, career, and other areas.

Taiji Guiren originates from ancient mythology, representing the origin of the universe and the beginning of creation. Taiji originally refers to the primordial state of all things, the starting point of the transformation of heaven and earth, symbolizing the creative force from nothingness and the indestructible vitality. Therefore, those with Taiji Guiren in their destiny often exhibit this characteristic of continuous development without a beginning or end.

In "San Ming Tong Hui" it is mentioned: "Taiji is the beginning, the initial state, things created at the beginning are Taiji, completion, and collection. Things have a return, which is called Ji, creation and transformation from beginning to end are preserved, thus called Taiji Guiren." This indicates that Taiji Guiren represents a complete and consistent force, allowing the person to maintain stability and progress amidst the changes of fate.

In "Li Ji · Jing Jie," the "Yi" says: "A gentleman is cautious at the beginning, a slight deviation can lead to a thousand miles of error." This also reflects the power symbolized by Taiji Guiren, where a small beginning determines the future direction and the success or failure of destiny. Taiji Guiren provides the person with a stable foundation, enabling them to progress steadily in adversity.
