Annual Stem-Branch in BaZi Timing
Deep Oracle Editorial Team · 2026-08-11 · 1 min read
Annual Stem-Branch is a BaZi timing term. It helps place a natal chart into a time layer such as major luck, annual luck, monthly luck, or Tai Sui.
Usage
Use it as a timing frame, not as a standalone prediction. First compute the chart, then read which stem, branch, ten god, and branch relationship the timing layer brings.
