The Ten Heavenly Stems combine five elements with yin/yang polarity, forming the upper character of each pillar in Saju.
The Ten Heavenly Stems are: Gap (+Wood), Eul (-Wood), Byeong (+Fire), Jeong (-Fire), Mu (+Earth), Gi (-Earth), Gyeong (+Metal), Sin (-Metal), Im (+Water), and Gye (-Water). The + indicates Yang (active) and - indicates Yin (receptive). Your Day Stem (Day Master) is particularly important as it represents your core self. The stems interact with each other through combination and clash relationships.
TriAstra identifies your Day Master stem and analyzes how all stems in your chart interact, determining element strength and relational dynamics.
Your Day Master stem reveals your fundamental approach to life—whether you're more active (yang) or receptive (yin), and which elemental energy drives your nature.
Understanding Heavenly Stems (10 Stems) is just the beginning. See how it manifests in your unique birth chart with TriAstra's triple-system analysis.
