格局

Pattern

格局 · Géjú

The chart type read from the Month Command: the Ten God that the month branch's leading or revealed hidden stem forms with the Day Master. It is the reference type the whole chart is read against.

In more detail

Our experimental method takes a revealed hidden stem of the month branch first, and otherwise its principal stem. Classical manuals add many special patterns that this simplified reading does not use. A pattern describes a traditional type, not a fixed outcome or a ranking of people.
