The impact of the yearly stem and pillar's heavenly and earthly conflicts on pregnancy is not absolute, and it needs to be judged comprehensively by the five elements in the birth chart and the children star. There may be adverse effects, but there are also people who can conceive smoothly; the saying about the children's success from the time pillar's heavenly stem and earthly branch combinations and divine evils can be referenced but is not a decisive factor.

Does the yearly stem and pillar's heavenly and earthly conflict affect pregnancy?

In traditional Chinese astrology, the time pillar is regarded as the palace of children, carrying a lot of information related to children, while the yearly stem represents the changes in the annual fortune. When the yearly stem and the time pillar have heavenly and earthly conflicts, it may indeed affect pregnancy, but this influence is not absolute and should be considered comprehensively from multiple aspects.

From the perspective of the five elements' mutual generation and destruction, if the five elements represented by the time pillar are clashed or attacked by the yearly stem, and it happens to be the natal chart's children star (for men, the official and killer stars are the children stars; for women, the food and injury stars are the children stars), which is an unfavorable element, it may create favorable conditions for pregnancy from a certain sense.

For example, for a woman, if the food and injury stars are the children stars, and the time pillar's five elements are overly strong earth, which restrains the water of the food and injury stars, and the yearly stem is wood, which clashes with the earth of the time pillar, reducing the restraint of earth on water, allowing the food and injury children stars to be relaxed, which may be beneficial for pregnancy.

On the contrary, if the clash causes damage to the children star, for instance, for a man, the official and killer stars are the children stars, the time pillar is strong metal, which produces water, and the yearly stem is fire that clashes with the metal, making the metal unable to produce water, thus weakening the strength of the official and killer children stars, which may be detrimental to pregnancy, even increasing the risk of fetal instability in the case of already being pregnant.

In addition, the heavenly and earthly conflicts between the yearly stem and the time pillar may cause fluctuations in the master's body and emotions. According to Chinese astrology, such a dramatic change in the energy field may lead to some physical issues for the master, such as endocrine disorders in women, which may affect conception.

Emotionally, the master may become anxious and irritable due to the turbulence of the yearly stem, and excessive psychological pressure can negatively affect the chances of pregnancy.

However, some people have a relatively strong natal chart, with smooth flow of the five elements, and even if they encounter the yearly stem and time pillar's heavenly and earthly conflicts, they can adapt well to these changes, and the pregnancy process remains smooth.

Therefore, it cannot simply be concluded that the yearly stem and time pillar's heavenly and earthly conflicts will definitely have adverse effects on pregnancy; it needs to be judged based on the individual's complete natal chart.

The saying about the children's success from the time pillar

“Strong official star in the time pillar indicates that the children are virtuous and capable.” The official star represents career, status, and authority. If the official star in the time pillar is strong and vigorous, it usually indicates that the children have a strong drive for advancement in their careers, can achieve certain social status through their own efforts, and are upright, responsible, and likely to succeed in society, becoming the pride of their parents.

For example, if the heavenly stem of the time pillar is Bing (丙) and the earthly branch is Shen (申), Bing fire overcomes Shen gold as the official star, and Shen gold is supported by other stems and branches in the natal chart, indicating a strong and vigorous force. In such a configuration of the time pillar, the children have a high chance of standing out in their careers.

“Children with a food god sitting on the lucky place in the time pillar are rich, noble, and smart.” The food god symbolizes talent, blessings, and enjoyment. When the food god falls on the lucky place of the time pillar (e.g., for a Jia (甲) day master, the time pillar is Yin (寅), and Yin is the lucky place of Jia wood), it means that the children are gifted, clever, and have artistic talents or special skills, and can gain wealth through their own abilities, leading a wealthy life.

“Children with a secondary wealth in the time pillar encountering a strong luck will accumulate wealth through business.” Secondary wealth represents unexpected wealth and commercial fortune. If the earthly branch of the time pillar is secondary wealth and is supported in the major luck and yearly stem, indicating a strong luck, it suggests that the children have keen insight into business opportunities and can accumulate a large amount of wealth through commerce, with their careers thriving.

“Children with a伤官 (harmful official) in the time pillar meeting an印 (seal) will be intelligent and have a degree.” The harmful official represents creativity and active thinking, while the seal represents knowledge and culture. A harmful official meeting a seal in the time pillar indicates that the children have agile thinking and strong learning ability, with innovative spirit, and can achieve excellent academic results, obtaining a high degree, and are likely to make achievements in cultural and academic fields.

However, it should be clear that these sayings are only empirical summaries and trend judgments. The development of children is also influenced by factors such as postnatal education, growth environment, and personal effort. Even if the configuration of the time pillar does not look ideal, through good postnatal cultivation and the children's own efforts, they can still achieve success on the path of life.

Q: What should you pay attention to if you are already pregnant and the yearly stem and time pillar have heavenly and earthly conflicts?
A: First, keep a calm mind and avoid excessive anxiety caused by the concepts of Chinese astrology, as emotional fluctuations can greatly affect the fetus. In terms of the body, pay more attention to prenatal check-ups, be aware of any subtle changes in your body, and prevent possible pregnancy problems. From the perspective of Chinese astrology, you can adjust the feng shui of your living environment, such as placing items that benefit the children star's five elements in the bedroom, to balance the energy field, but feng shui adjustments are only for reference and cannot replace medical care.

Q: How to judge if the time pillar has both official star and harmful official star in its combination?
A: When such a complex combination appears, you need to look at the comparative strength of the official star and harmful official star in the overall natal chart, as well as their mutual generation and destruction with other stems and branches. If the official star is strong and has a seal to connect (such as harmful official producing wealth, wealth producing official), the children may be able to balance their creativity with rules and regulations in their careers, having innovation ability while developing within the formal system. If the harmful official is too strong, suppressing the official star, and there is no seal to relieve the situation, the children may encounter some obstacles in their career development, and need to cultivate their self-discipline and awareness of following rules in the postnatal period to better utilize their talents.
