The Bazi 60 Pillars pictorial method is a visual representation of the 60 possible combinations of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches in Bazi. Each pillar has a unique combination that represents a person’s destiny and characteristics. The method is useful for quickly identifying the different pillars and understanding their basic meanings, and it can also provide insights into relationships between different pillars.

My approach involves consolidating the four pillars images into a single representation of the natal chart. To illustrate, the above image corresponds to the following four pillars:

Geng Wu – sword forged by fire

Bing Wu – mythical fire horse

Ding Si – lantern floating on water

Ji Mao – rich fertile soil
