Energy reasoning, grounded in Liqi
Elements as numbers. Liqi as the frame.
Not a traditional almanac reading. We turn the four pillars into a computable energy structure — the five elements become quantities, the ten gods become momentum, and reasoning becomes the answer.

DerivationEnter a solar birth time, confirm the four pillars, and read the momentum curve alongside the element and ten-god structure.→Theory & ImageThe principle of the five elements and the imagery of the ten gods — the language foundation of the derivation, from "principle" (element definitions) to "image" (ten-god definitions).→Wuxing MomentumThe Day Master’s twelve-stage energy across the pillar and luck-cycle branches, shown here as a standalone view of how energy moves through time.→CycleWe are born of the five elements; the ten stems split into yin and yang. Each energy follows its own twelve-stage rise and fall — yang is energy, yin is form. The ten curves mirror each other by yin-yang reversal, so birth, peak, death and extinction become a visible wave of life-energy rather than abstractions.→ClockChinese-medicine timekeeping for the meridians — qi circulates through twelve channels on a fixed rhythm, one channel peaking every two hours.→TermsTwenty-four nodes across the year; each carries its own energetic bias and disease tendency, with adjustments for the season.→WuyunThe heavenly stem makes the movement; the earthly branch makes the qi. From your birth year’s stem-branch we derive that year’s climate-energy pattern and constitutional lean.→ConstitutionWe are born of heaven-and-earth qi. From the five-movements and six-qi at your birth we infer your innate constitutional lean.→

The Liqi model
The same four pillars yield different outputs, depending on how the elements and ten gods are read. This site quantifies elemental strength, rooting, structure and environment with a deterministic model, then plots the momentum curve across a lifetime.
