Ba Zi Ten Gods for Ji Earth Day Master (己): The Complete Table

When the Day Master (日主 rìzhǔ) is Jǐ 己, the Ten Gods (十神 shíshén) arrange themselves around yin earth — the tilled field, the garden bed, the soft receptive soil that grows things. Where Wù 戊 is the mountain that resists, Jǐ is the ground that yields and nourishes. That difference reshuffles several labels, so a Jǐ chart should never be read off a yang-earth cheat sheet. Here is the complete set of bazi ten gods for Ji Earth Day Master.

Jǐ is accommodating, absorbent and quietly productive. Its strength is in what it can hold and cultivate rather than in what it withstands. Read the table, then the group-by-group notes.

The complete Ba Zi Ten Gods for Ji Earth Day Master

Every stem is set against a Jǐ Day Master. The Ten God follows from the five-element bond and the polarity match — opposite charge makes the “direct” relationship, same charge the “indirect”.

Compare this with a Wù chart and you will see the direct/indirect labels swap across nearly every row. Same elements, opposite Day Master polarity — that is the whole reason each of the ten stems needs its own table.

Resource: Bing and Ding fire

Fire produces earth, so the fire stems nourish Jǐ. Bǐng 丙, the yang sun, is the Direct Resource (正印 zhèngyìn) here — the broad warmth that ripens a field, the steady mentorship and recognised learning that a growing thing depends on. Dīng 丁, the yin flame, is the Indirect Resource (偏印 piānyìn), a narrower, more particular light: specialist knowledge, intuition, the unusual teacher. For soil that has gone cold, these fire stems are the sun and the lamp that make it fertile again.

Companions: Ji and Wu

Earth beside earth is the companion family. Another Jǐ is the Friend (比肩 bǐjiān), a neighbouring plot working the same way you do. Yang Wù 戊 earth is Rob Wealth (劫财 jiécái) — a mountain looming over a garden, still kin and still support, but liable to overshadow and to take the wealth you were tending. A thin Jǐ welcomes the added ground; a rich, heavy Jǐ finds companions competing for the same water and light.

Output: Geng and Xin metal

Earth produces metal, so metal is how Jǐ expresses and creates. Xīn 辛 yin metal is the Eating God (食神 shíshén) — refined, patient output, the polished ornament the soil yields with care. Gēng 庚 yang metal is the Hurting Officer (伤官 shāngguān), rawer and more forceful: bold talent, blunt speech, the ability that impresses and occasionally cuts against authority. In many Jǐ charts the metal stems mark the craft or voice through which a modest person actually makes their mark.

Wealth: Ren and Gui water

Earth controls water, so water is Jǐ’s wealth — the garden channels its irrigation. Rén 壬 yang water is the Direct Wealth (正财 zhèngcái), the steady, earned income and the asset held for the long term; Guǐ 癸 yin water is the Indirect Wealth (偏财 piāncái), the lighter rain of side gains and opportunities. Soft earth manages gentle water beautifully but can be washed out by a flood, so a weak Jǐ facing heavy water is wealth it cannot yet hold.

Officer: Jia and Yi wood

Wood controls earth, so wood is Jǐ’s officer and the pressure it answers to. Jiǎ 甲 yang wood is the Direct Officer (正官 zhèngguān) — proper structure, position and duty; the great tree the field is glad to host. Yǐ 乙 yin wood is Seven Killings (七杀 qīshā), the grasping, invasive kind of pressure: rivals, informal power, demands that keep coming. Notably, Jiǎ and Jǐ share a natural combination, so Direct Officer often sits especially close to a Jǐ Day Master, which practitioners read as an affinity for legitimate roles and responsibility.

The palaces: where each god does its work

Naming the god is half the reading; the pillar it stands in supplies the other half. The day branch is the spouse palace, and for Jǐ one day pillar is especially instructive: Jǐ Hài holds both Rén and Jiǎ hidden inside Hài 亥 — the Direct Wealth and the Direct Officer sharing the marriage seat. For a man the wife star sits at home; for a woman the officer beside it is the classical husband star; both lenses land on the same branch, which is why Jǐ Hài spouse-palace readings reward patience. A Jǐ Mǎo day instead seats Yǐ, the Seven Killings, in that palace — invasive pressure at close quarters, read against the whole chart before judging. Higher up, Bǐng Direct Resource on the month pillar is the sunlit, well-taught formative season, and a Xīn Eating God on the hour promises the polished craft of the later years, since the hour governs output and the closing chapters.

Questions we hear from Ji charts

Does the Jiǎ–Jǐ combination remove my Officer? Schools differ on when a stem combination transforms, and we state that honestly; the working read is closeness — the duty binds to the self, for steadiness or for entanglement, rather than vanishing. What if heavy water floods the field? A weak Jǐ under a Rén flood is the washed-out garden described above; companions and fire resource are what let the soil hold its irrigation again. And which pillar should a beginner check first? The day branch, for the spouse palace, then the month, because the month gates the strength judgement — the order our chart-reading guide walks through.

From label to judgement

Knowing a stem is your Direct Wealth or your Seven Killings is only half the reading; whether it helps turns on your Day Master’s strength, the season, and the shape of the whole chart. Weigh that first with our guide to a strong versus weak Day Master. For the wider temperament of yin earth, the Ji Earth Day Master profile pairs with this table, and the master Ten Gods table for every Day Master lets you compare Jǐ against the other nine stems at a glance. The ten Day Masters guide holds the full cast, the mountain’s contrasting key is at Wu Earth ten gods, and the combining tree itself is examined on the Direct Officer deep page.
