The Ten Gods
"Ten Gods" (十神) is the traditional name for ten roles. Each element in your chart plays one of them relative to your Day Master, depending on whether it supports you, drains you, is acted on by you, controls you or matches you — and on whether its polarity matches yours.
Independence, self-trust and peers.
Drive, boldness and rivalry.
Creativity, ease and enjoyment.
Expression, originality and questioning rules.
Opportunity, generosity and networks.
Steady effort, practicality and responsibility.
Courage, pressure and decisive action.
Structure, duty and reputation.
Intuition and unconventional learning.
Support, learning and care.
Why FateBook renames them
Classical translations like "Hurting Officer" or "Seven Killings" sound alarming and tell a modern reader nothing. The Rebel and the Warrior describe the same energies — originality that questions rules, courage under pressure — without the melodrama. The Chinese names are always shown alongside.
How to read them
The Ten Gods that appear most in your chart are your loudest patterns. Lots of Artist and Rebel: expression and creativity. Lots of Steward and Dealmaker: practicality and opportunity. Lots of Guardian and Warrior: structure, duty, pressure. Your chart page lists your strongest three.
