The guardians

The five askjoss guardians

One guardian for each of the five elements. Yours is the guardian of the element your BaZi chart needs most for balance (your favorable element).

Wood

Qilin · The Gentle Protector

Growth, kindness, family.

Fire

Wenchang · The Bright Scholar

Learning, clarity, career.

Earth

Shou · The Longevity Star

Steadiness and wellbeing.

Metal

Pixiu · The Wealth Keeper

Focus, value, keeping what you earn.

Water

Mandarin Ducks · The Faithful Pair

Connection and love.

Guardians are the askjoss storytelling layer on top of real chart math: each one stands for an element. They are not deities, the figures are not blessed or consecrated, and nothing here promises an outcome.
