Heavenly Stems

One of the most widely used traditional indicators, in both Chinese and Tibetan astrology, is that of "Heavenly Stems." Here, two Stems (a polarity and an element), combine to produce an additional element which must then be factored into the Four Pillars equation. This extra element is only produced under special conditions—often it is not produced at all.

However, it all depends on whether the element produced from this combination is favorable or unfavorable for your particular chart. In this case, the combination was successful and did manage to produce an addition element, but the element it produced is not favorable, as in: it will cause more problems than good.

This traditionally this is considered one of the fortunate combinations, bringing with it kindness and mercy -benevolence. Having this good a combination for such an extended time period is considered a great blessing.

Six Harmonies

This period includes what is traditionally called a Six Harmonies Combination, which may or may not come to fruition. It is a little like the lottery: you can't be sure if the effect will appear and moreover you can't be sure whether this will make things easier or more difficult. Let's look at what it does for you in this Luck Cycle.

As luck would have it, the additional element is produced and it is a favorable one for you, bringing with it accent and emphasis in your life.

The areas affected by this combination during this time include all those outside yourself, your home, and your immediate family, external factors—whatever is outside and impinges on your life. Your physical body and general energy status or Qi are also covered here. You are an extrovert when it comes to reaching outside yourself and making contact and interfacing with the external world.
