What does the eight-character life mean?

Eight-character life chart refers to the characteristics and trends of a person's fate expressed by eight characters according to his date of birth. The first four words represent the date of birth, which is called "heavenly stems and earthly branches", and the last four words represent the time of birth, which is called "Time Column". Eight-character numerology has been circulated among the people in China for a long time, and it is widely used to predict marriage, career and fortune.

Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that people's health, career development, emotional marriage and other aspects are closely related to life. Therefore, in daily life, many people will know their horoscope through fortune telling, so as to master their horoscope and seek their own happiness. And some professional fortune tellers will also guide the development trend of personal destiny according to the eight-character numerology.

There are many ways to analyze the eight-character life, including the combination of heavenly stems and earthly branches, twelve fortune-telling, monthly order, annual expenditure and so on. The most common way is to comprehensively calculate a person's fate according to the four pillars of the eight characters (namely, the annual column, the moon column, the sun column and the time column). Therefore, for those who want to know their horoscope, they can get the answer by looking at the horoscope or asking a professional fortune teller for help. However, it should be noted that the eight-character life can not completely determine a person's fate, and people's efforts and choices are equally important.
