Luck Cycles: Your 10-Year Pillars Explained
MysticSage · Chinese Astrology Guide
What are Luck Cycles?
Luck Cycles (Da Yun) are 10-year periods that overlay your Bazi chart, showing how your fortune shifts throughout your life. Each 10-year cycle is governed by a pair of Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch.
How Luck Cycles Are Calculated
Your first Luck Cycle begins after birth, with the start time determined by your birth hour and gender. A Yang Male or Yin Female advances forward, while Yin Male or Yang Female retreats backward through the cycle.
Reading Your Luck Cycle
When a Luck Cycle supports your Useful God, that decade is favorable. When it clashes with your Useful God, that decade brings challenges.
Annual Forecasts
Each year within a 10-year Luck Cycle also has its own influence, determined by the year's Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch.
