Earth and Earth Day Master Compatibility
How do a Earth and a Earth Day Master relate in BaZi? The short answer: the same element. This page goes stem by stem and explains what a fuller comparison involves.
01
The element relation
Between a Earth Day Master and a Earth Day Master the basic relation is: the same element. Two people of the same element see each other as companions (比劫): easy recognition, but also competition for the same resources.
| Viewpoint | The other person is |
|---|---|
| Earth Day Master | companion (比劫) |
| Earth Day Master | companion (比劫) |
02
Stem by stem
Each element has a yang and a yin Day Master, so this pairing covers 4 stem combinations. The Ten God each person represents for the other:
- 戊戊 Wu Yang Earth戊 Wu Yang Earth · Friend (比肩) · Friend (比肩)
- 戊戊 Wu Yang Earth己 Ji Yin Earth · Rob Wealth (劫财) · Rob Wealth (劫财)
- 己己 Ji Yin Earth戊 Wu Yang Earth · Rob Wealth (劫财) · Rob Wealth (劫财)
- 己己 Ji Yin Earth己 Ji Yin Earth · Friend (比肩) · Friend (比肩)
No stem combination occurs in this element pairing.
03
The branch layer
Day branches carry their own elements. Here are the relations between the main Earth branches and the main Earth branches — combinations bind, clashes and harms create friction.
- 辰辰 Chen辰 Chen · punishment
- 辰辰 Chen戌 Xu · clash
- 辰辰 Chen丑 Chou · no fixed relation
- 辰辰 Chen未 Wei · no fixed relation
- 戌戌 Xu辰 Chen · clash
- 戌戌 Xu戌 Xu · punishment
- 戌戌 Xu丑 Chou · punishment
- 戌戌 Xu未 Wei · punishment
- 丑丑 Chou辰 Chen · no fixed relation
- 丑丑 Chou戌 Xu · punishment
- 丑丑 Chou丑 Chou · punishment
- 丑丑 Chou未 Wei · clash, punishment
- 未未 Wei辰 Chen · no fixed relation
- 未未 Wei戌 Xu · punishment
- 未未 Wei丑 Chou · clash, punishment
- 未未 Wei未 Wei · punishment
Element qualities: Earth brings stability, holding, mediation and trust; Earth brings stability, holding, mediation and trust. In traditional imagery the pairing is read through how these qualities meet — reinforcing the same tendencies.

Practising with the Earth–Earth pairing
The fastest way to understand the Earth–Earth pairing is to look at real charts rather than memorise rules. Enter a birth date, time and city in the BaZi Calculator, then locate where the Earth–Earth pairing appears: in a visible stem, hidden inside a branch, in the current luck pillar or in this year's annual pillar. Note the position, because the year pillar is usually read as background and early life, the month pillar as environment and career setting, the day pillar as the self and close partner, and the hour pillar as later life and output.
- Compare two or three charts where the Earth–Earth pairing is prominent and two where it is absent; write down what differs in the overall balance.
- Check the month branch first: seasonal strength changes how much any factor matters.
- Use the hidden-stems and Ten Gods tables in the calculator output instead of guessing.
- Treat single factors as clues, never as verdicts; classical texts always weigh the whole chart.
- Enter both partners and compare Day Masters, day branches and the useful element of each chart.
Different schools describe the Earth–Earth pairing with slightly different emphasis. This site follows widely used conventions (solar-term months, true solar time optional, Zi hour setting configurable) and states them openly so you can compare results with a book or another calculator.
05
Beyond the Day Masters
Element pairing is only the first layer. A fuller comparison looks at whether each chart supplies what the other lacks, at branch relations between the two day branches (combination, clash, harm), and at which luck pillars both people are in. Two charts of the "same" element pair can therefore read very differently.
- If one chart is short of Earth, a Earth partner literally brings that element.
- If one chart is already heavy in Earth, another Earth Day Master adds weight to the same side.
- Day-branch clashes and combinations matter as much as stems in traditional compatibility reading.
BaZi is a traditional cultural system. This page explains how the symbols are defined and read; it does not make scientific claims or predictions about your health, money or relationships.

How to compare two charts here
- Calculate the first chart in the BaZi calculator.
- Open Compare with Another Person below the result and enter the second birth data.
- Each chart is computed independently with the same rules; the comparison lists stem and branch relations between them and the Day Master relation in both directions.
- Nothing about the second person is saved or shared unless you choose to.
Charts on this site use the published rule set: true solar time by default, the year changes at 立春 (Start of Spring), months change at the 12 节 solar terms and the day changes at 23:00. Example charts below are computed live by the same engine.
