Eating God

Your gentle creative output. Talent expressed with ease — enjoyment, good taste, food, pleasure and a relaxed, abundant kind of contentment.

What is the Eating God in BaZi?

In BaZi — the Four Pillars of Destiny — the Ten Gods describe how each energy in your chart relates to your Day Master (you). The Eating God (食神 · Shí Shén) is what you give out.

Output energies are what your Day Master produces — talent, creativity and self-expression. They bring brilliance, enjoyment and a voice, but left unchecked they can clash with rules and authority.
