Birth-year transformations

Birth-year transformations for Gui years

The stem of your birth year sets your birth-year transformations. Born in a Gui year, yours are Po Jun Hua Lu, Ju Men Hua Quan, Tai Yin Hua Ke, and Tan Lang Hua Ji. (The year changes at Lunar New Year, not on January 1.)

The four transformations of Gui years

  • Po Jun Hua Lu

    Transforms into Consumption; break first, then build. Pioneering, reform, restlessness with the status quo, and great expenditure of energy.

  • Ju Men Hua Quan

    Transforms into the Hidden; the star of disputes. Eloquence, analysis, doubt and digging deep. Doubt first, trust later.

  • Tai Yin Hua Ke

    Transforms into Riches; ruler of property. Careful, inward, perceptive, valuing security. Bright, it is gentle and warm; dim, it worries more.

  • Tan Lang Hua Ji

    Transforms into Peach Blossom; the star of desire. Many talents, sociability, appetite and a quick learner; it also rules speculation.
