Chinese Fortune Telling Terminology

Five Elements

The Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) are the fundamental components of the universe in Chinese philosophy. They interact through cycles of creation and destruction, influencing all aspects of life including personality, health, and destiny.

Yin and Yang

Yin and Yang represent the dualistic nature of the universe, with Yin being the feminine, passive, and dark principle, and Yang being the masculine, active, and light principle. Balance between Yin and Yang is essential for harmony and good fortune.

Four Pillars of Destiny

Also known as BaZi, this system uses the year, month, day, and hour of birth to create a chart of eight characters (four pillars with two characters each). This chart reveals a person's character, abilities, and life path.

Chinese Zodiac

The Chinese Zodiac consists of 12 animal signs (Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig) that represent different personality traits and are used to predict compatibility and fortune.

Ten Heavenly Stems

The Ten Heavenly Stems (Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui) are a system of ordinals used in traditional Chinese calendar and fortune-telling. They represent the Yang and Yin aspects of the Five Elements.

Twelve Earthly Branches

The Twelve Earthly Branches (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai) correspond to the 12 animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac. They represent time cycles and are used in conjunction with the Heavenly Stems.
