Timing works best after baseline.

Step 1: Baseline first (non-negotiable)

Generate BaZi chart
  • Day Master and strength.
  • Month environment.
  • Dominant Ten Gods roles.

Start here: Day Master Strength

Ten Gods reference: Ten Gods Cheat Sheet

Step 2: Read the phase conditions

Generate BaZi chart
  • What does the phase amplify? Pressure, output, wealth, peers, or recovery?
  • What does it reward? Discipline, visibility, learning, partnerships?
  • What does it punish? Over-leverage and fragile commitments.

Treat it as climate, not a promise.

Step 3: Translate into strategy

Generate BaZi chart
  • Power-heavy: structure and responsibility, avoid burnout.
  • Output-heavy: ship and build reputation, avoid overexposure.
  • Resource-heavy: learn and recover, avoid stagnation.
  • Wealth-heavy: systemize monetization, avoid impulsive risk.
  • Peer-heavy: alliances and competition, tighten boundaries.

Step 4: Use yearly luck as overlay

Generate BaZi chart

Yearly luck answers what to emphasize this year and where to reduce risk.

Do not treat it as exact event prediction.

Step 5: Apply a 30-day cycle

Generate BaZi chart
  • 3 weekly actions.
  • 1 daily minimum.
  • 2 risk limits.
