How to read your chart
What the four pillars mean
- Year
- Family, ancestry, background
- Month
- Career, occupation, environment
- Day
- Yourself, and your partner
- Hour
- Children, later life, inner thoughts
The five elements (五行)
Every character in your chart carries an element. Counting them shows which are abundant and which are scarce — but abundant does not mean good, nor scarce bad. It depends on the whole chart.
- 木Wood
- 火Fire
- 土Earth
- 金Metal
- 水Water
BaZi months start at a solar term, not the 1st
This is where most calculators get it wrong. If you were born in the first days of a month you may still belong to the previous BaZi month — and if you were born before 立春, your BaZi year is still the previous one.
