What does the fortune teller mean by XiShen?

XiShen is a word used in the traditional five elements theory of Han nationality, which appears in the eight-character numerology system and Taoist magic system. The eight-character numerology term "like to use God" is a general term for "XiShen" and "use God". Eight characters, that is, the year, month, day and time of a person's birth are made into four columns, each with a stem and a branch, a total of eight characters. The eight characters are arranged in different ways and contain different information of yin and yang and five elements, forming various fates of the eight characters. There are "deficiency" and "excess" in the fate, which are called "diseases", and "using God" is a "medicine" for different "diseases". "XiShen" is the five elements of Yin and Yang, which can help "use God".

In Daoism, it is beneficial to find out the location of the Western God according to the different weather conditions every day, and go out for a long trip according to this location. Of course, this is a family statement, so we should look at it objectively.

Orientation of XiShen: A, auspicious days are in the Yin and Mao positions, B, Geng days are in the Chen and Xu positions, C, Xin days are in the Shen and You positions, D, Ren days are in the noon and Fei positions, and E and Gui are in the Si and Hai positions.

For example, on Sunday, the Western God is at noon. Of course, there are some differences between different versions of the formula.
