The Ten Gods (sipsin) are ten labels for how each character in a Saju chart relates to your Day Master — the heavenly stem of your birth day.
- Same element: Companion / Rob Wealth.
- The element you produce: Eating God / Hurting Officer.
- The element you control: Indirect / Direct Wealth.
- The element that controls you: Seven Killings / Direct Officer.
- The element that produces you: Indirect / Direct Resource.
Matching yin-yang gives the first name, opposite gives the second. Branches use their main hidden stem. The labels describe relationships, not good or bad luck — read them together with the whole chart.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Are the "Ten Gods" and "Ten Stars" the same thing?
Yes. They are two names for the same idea: ten labels for how every other character in a Saju chart relates to your Day Master (the heavenly stem of your birth day).
Q. How can I find the Ten Gods in my own chart?
Build your eight-character chart from your birth date (and birth time if you know it), then compare each character with your Day Master by element and yin-yang using the five rules above. Bujasaju's free reading does this calculation for you automatically.
Q. Is Eating God "good" and Hurting Officer "bad"?
No. None of the Ten Gods is good or bad on its own. The same label reads differently depending on the balance of the whole chart and how strong or weak the Day Master is.
