The Yin & Yang of Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches


We all have heard the concepts of Yin & Yang, representing two different polarities. Do you, however, notice that Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches has its own yin & yang as well?

Yes, you’re right! Heavenly Stem refers to the Yang, whilst Earthly Branch representing Yin.

So, what is the significance of knowing the differences in its polarities?

To put it in the simplest form, Heavenly Stem represents the outer appearance of the Day Master. It is the image that the Day Master intends to project to the external world, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Earthly branch, on the other hand, represents the inner most thought / intention of the Day Master. If not being revealed by the Day Master himself / herself, we would never know.


This is human nature …. our Outer Self & our Inner Self …. this is Yin & Yang …
