Shen sha 26 / 36 · Yin-Yang Discrepancy

Yin-Yang Discrepancy (Yin Yang Cha Cuo) — the Chinese astrology star 阴阳差错

The Yin-Yang Discrepancy is one of the 36 shen sha, anchored on the fixed pillar list (day pillar decisive). Twelve fixed day pillars whose stems cycle Bing-Ding-Wu-Xin-Ren-Gui over twelve sequential branches. The table below is the complete lookup — every row links to the branch or pillar page so you can verify it — and the picker repeats the same engine data for whichever anchor you choose.

This page is generated by engine v0.14.0, not hand-written; the table was cross-checked against external sources and against its own derivation (see methodology R32).

What this page deliberately does not do

A note on what this page deliberately does not do: the popular versions of this material assign a fixed personality to each term — one character per branch, one destiny per stage. This site rejects that framing. What is published here is a structural position: which element sits where, on what kind of ground, with which tenants inside. The same term reads differently under a different month command, and no meaningful judgement exists without the other characters of the chart. Where the tradition offers a reading it is labelled as the tradition's; this site's own contribution is that every number and term on this page is computed, versioned and checkable against the methodology page.

FAQ

How is the Yin-Yang Discrepancy (Yin Yang Cha Cuo) determined?
Anchor on the fixed pillar list (day pillar decisive). Twelve fixed day pillars whose stems cycle Bing-Ding-Wu-Xin-Ren-Gui over twelve sequential branches. The full lookup is printed in the table above; the picker repeats the same data for the anchor you choose.
Does Yin-Yang Discrepancy appear in my chart?
Check the anchor against your four pillars: the day stem for stem-anchored stars, the year or day branch for trine-anchored ones, the birth month for month-anchored ones. The shen sha index page also has a scanner that reads a birth time and scans all 36 stars at once.
Does the Yin-Yang Discrepancy mean I am lucky or unlucky?
This site deliberately stops at the rule and the table. Classical texts attach auspicious or inauspicious readings to each star, but those readings assume a full chart analysis; printing a verdict from one tag is the kind of claim we refuse to make.
