There are two tabulated sets of 60 pillars use for the purpose of deriving the month and the hour
Heavenly stem in a particular year & day respectively.
I choose to combine both tables into a single palm which is more handy.
Before we begin, you must remember the natural seuence of the Heavenly stems as follows !

"nd the orders of the #$ %odiac across the fingers sections as shown in the picture.
&rom the picture attached ,locate ", B & ' .
(ach representing the ", B, ' steps to follow through in seuences.
)tep ".. *our must remember the +ui He 'ombination pairs of #0 heavenly stems as follows!
once you have memori%ed the +ui He 'ombination you can always s,ip )tep "

Irregardless of or you can simply forget them from now as
we are .ust interested to find the heavenly )tem of the month of a given *ear, or to find the
heavenly stem the hour of a given day..)ame single application.
(g. on a day what will be the hourly Heavenly stem in )na,e hour
1sing )tep " only if you still haven2t be able to memori%ed the +ui He combination, otherwise
you can s,ip it.
1sing )tep B ... goes with green bo0 so start with
Indicated )tep ' on the finger base , )tart the finger section as go cloc,wise with the
#$ %odiac in seuence in tandem with natural seuence of the Heavenly stems as follows

)na,e being 3os si0 will pair with Heavenly )tem earth.
Hence on a day at )na,e hour the heavenly stem at sna,e hour will be .
(g. on a ! year what will be the 4onth Heavenly stem in -ooster 4onth "

-ooster being 3os #0 will pair with Heavenly )tem wood.

Hence on a ! year at -ooster month the heavenly stem at -ooster month will be heavenly
)tem.
