Adjusting the Temperature of the Daymaster

Derived from the revered classic, Qiong Tong Bao Jian《穷通宝鉴》, the Bazi principle of ‘Temperature Adjustment’ describes the level of accomplishment and wealth capacity of an individual based on the Temperature Adjustment Useful God (调侯用神) in their Bazi chart — with factors such as Cold (寒), Warm (暖), Damp (湿) and Dry (燥). With the month affecting the temperature and humidity level in an individual’s Bazi chart, a high-achieving chart contains the favourable Heavenly Stems that help to adjust its temperature.

A Ding Fire Daymaster born in the month of Dragon (the last month of Spring) would require Jia Wood (甲木) as the main Temperature Adjustment Useful God and Geng Metal (庚金) as the supporting Temperature Adjustment Useful God to be protruded in the Heavenly Stems of the chart to be wealthy and noble.

In Bazi, a thorough interpretation of the aforementioned adjustments relies on the unique arrangement of an individual Bazi chart. An in-depth understanding of Chinese metaphysical concepts is requisite in the precise application of any temperature adjustments.
