When you see a pile of symbols, you may be confused, which one should I look at first? This article is to introduce their weight ranking.

Take the case of our last article for example:How to judge what happend on the time of a month or a day?

When we want to be accurate to a certain day. 16 sets of symbols are generated. They are:

Four Pillars: Year Pillars壬申, Month Pillars丙午, Day Pillars辛巳, Hour Pillars壬辰

LP: 己酉(The last year of 己酉)

Year: 2022壬寅

Month: 己酉

Day: 己卯

With so many symbols, which one should we see first?

The Four Pillars are always used, no matter what time period you judge. That’s Year Pillars壬申, Month Pillars丙午, Day Pillars辛巳, Hour Pillars壬辰.

Then the symbol of Year is important, it’s called Tai Sui in LuMing. Don’t care about the narration in Wikipedia. TaiSui is not always bad. They are just saying: Tai Sui is important.

Through the Four Pillars, we found that 申Metal was controlled. Because MC’s fire(午丙巳) is too strong. So if 申Metal is injured, it will be reflected in life. The year of 2022 was 壬寅, 寅Wood clash 申Metal. You will have a picture of wood and gold fighting in your mind.

Then LP. LP controls the trend of the decade. LP is 己酉, and month also is 己酉, The strength of Metal(申酉酉) was strengthened, which led to a positive conflict between Metal(申酉酉) and Wood(寅卯). Day is 己卯, 卯 clash 酉, the contradiction becomes direct. 己Ji has played the role of protection to reduce the damage. Finally, the finger was cut off by the machine.

The above is the order of analyzing symbols. Four Pillars > Year > LP > Month > Day.
