Below are common approach to Bazi or 4-pillars analysis:
1. Shen-sha or symbolic stars: This approach uses only shen-sha like void, Tian-de/ Yi-de Nobleman, peach-blossom, Bloody Knife, yang-ren and the likes to examine a chart. This approach is not popular because it lacks logical consistency and theories.
2. 10 Transformation stars (or 10- Gods): This method uses concepts shang-guan, zheng-guan, bi-jian and the likes to analyze a chart without consideration of 5-element variations and chart profile (格局). This approach is also not popular.
3. Temperature adjustment: This approach compares the relative strength of the daymaster to other stems and branches within the chart. It utilizes the temperature adjustment element and 10-transformation stars meaning to analyze the chart. This is most common method seen in modern Bazi books.
4, Temperature adjustment mixing with other approaches like divination, ZWDS, shen-sha, face-reading, na-yin and the likes. This approach is quite popular lately.
5. Chart profile (格局): This approach uses the controlling and nurturing relationship between 5-lements to dissect a chart. The strongest element is the "profile" element. It does not consider temperature adjustment or the relationship between this profile and daymaster.
Each of the above approach has its own advantages and disadvantages. Each uncovers a piece of the whole picture. It is quite common to see people utilize one or more of the above approaches in their Bazi analysis.
