Ten Representatives in Chinese Astrology


Ten Gods and Six Gods

In the birth chart, the element in the upper Day column represents you. It's called Day Master in Chinese astrology. 

When Five Stars apply on Chinese Astrology, we need more detail by breaking down into Yin Yang (Female and Male) for the Companion, Child, Money, Career, and Parent Stars. These 10 different combinations are called Ten Representatives (a.k.a. Ten Gods) in the Chinese astrology. 

Based on the the Affinity, Enmity and Attraction of Stem Relationships with Day Master,  each Male or Female Star can infer to something or somebody. For example, a person's Day Master (you) is Male-Wood Male WoodMale Wood.
