Direct Officer Zheng Guan

responsibility and honor

What does Direct Officer mean in BaZi?

The Ten Gods describe how every other character in a Saju (Four Pillars, BaZi) chart relates to your Day Master, the “you” of the chart. Direct Officer belongs to the Authority group, and it is paired with Seven Killings (the same relationship with the opposite polarity).

Direct Officer (Zheng Guan) stands for honor, responsibility and the power to keep order. You value principle and perform your role faithfully, so you often earn trust and recognition from others. Your luck in organizations and social position tends to be stable, and a steady, upright attitude leads over time to big results.

Direct Officer in each pillar of your chart

  • In your Year Pillar (childhood and family): You grew up in a proper family that valued discipline and manners.
  • In your Month Pillar (career and social life): An environment with a strong flow of being recognized and promoted within an organization.
  • In your Day Pillar (your inner self and marriage): There is a proper energy in the spouse seat, a relationship that values trust and responsibility.
  • In your Hour Pillar (later life and children): Deep ties with honorable, upright children in later life, a respected retirement.
