  Yuan Tiangang's Bone Reading Method:

  Yuan Tiangang's bone reading method is a prediction method developed by the famous astrologer Yuan Tiangang in the Tang Dynasty. This method, like the four pillars of destiny, can determine a person's fortune and misfortune, honor and disgrace, and accuracy is very high, and it is easy to master and apply.

  Each person's birth year, month, day, and hour has a fixed weight. The weight of each year, month, day, and hour is determined specifically. As long as the weights of the year, month, day, and hour are added together, and then checked according to the "Bone Weighing Song," one can determine a person's entire life fate.

  The weight of a person's birth year is determined by the celestial stems and earthly branches (such as Jiazi year, Yichou year, Bingyin year, etc.). The weight of the birth month is determined by the month (such as first month, second month, etc.). The weight of the birth day is determined by the day number (such as first day, second day, etc.). The weight of the birth hour is determined by the twelve hours (Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai).

 

 

  Modern two hours correspond to an ancient hour.

  The twelve hours converted into modern hours are as follows:
