Although calculators discharge a lot of ShenSha(神煞) for us, most of them are useless. 

What is ShenSha?

In the red box of the picture below is Shensha.

There is no good explanation on the internet. If you don’t understand it, it doesn’t matter, because it’s not important.

It is similar to a kind of big data statistics in ancient times. According to the fact that something happened to most people one day, these symbols are summarized to form a ShenSha. In ancient times, material technology was not developed. So most ShenSha are one-sided. 

 

But three have three ShenSha are still useful. there are “驿马”、”桃花”、”日禄”.
