What is BaZi (Four Pillars)?

BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) maps your birth year, month, day and hour into Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, then analyzes Five Elements balance, Ten Gods, luck cycles and relationship patterns.

What does a Bazi chart include?

A Bazi chart combines the year, month, day and hour pillars with the Day Master, Five Elements, Ten Gods, patterns, luck cycles and annual influences to explain personality, work, money and relationships.

How is a Bazi chart calculated?

The calculation considers birth date, time and location, including time zones, true solar time, the Li Chun boundary and Zi hour rules. The adopted calculation method is explained when schools differ.

How should Bazi results be used?

Enter birth information, review the chart foundations, then read the luck-cycle and topic analyses. Treat the result as a planning and reflection aid rather than a substitute for professional judgment.

Classical Sources & Methodology

Classical Text Citations

"The method of Zi Ping takes the Day Master as the core, the Month Branch as the governing outline, the Year as the root, and the Hour as the supplement." This principle underlies our chart calculation and Day Master strength assessment.

—— Yuan Hai Zi Ping

"To know the myriad laws of the Three Elements, first observe the workings of Heaven and Earth." The generation and control cycles among stems, branches and the Five Elements form the framework for assessing chart strength.

—— Di Tian Sui

Compiled by Wan Minying of the Ming Dynasty, it systematically discusses the Four Pillars, pattern formation and useful-god selection. Our shen-sha (star) lookup follows its classical system.

Calculation Methodology

This Bazi calculator follows the mainstream algorithms of traditional Zi Ping astrology:

  1. 1True solar time correction: local mean time is corrected by longitude, with automatic timezone and DST handling, to keep the Hour Pillar accurate.
  2. 2Solar-term month boundary: the Year Pillar starts at Li Chun and each month starts at the corresponding solar term, not the lunar month day.
  3. 3Four Pillars: the Year Pillar is bounded by Li Chun; the Day Pillar changes at Zi hour (23:00), with early-Zi / late-Zi toggle support.
  4. 4Ten Gods and strength: the Day Master is the center; Ten Gods are derived from stem-branch relations; strength considers seasonal command, roots and support.
  5. 5Da Yun (major luck): Yang-born males and Yin-born females run forward, the reverse otherwise, starting from the Month Pillar, ten years per cycle.
  6. 6Shen-sha lookup: stars such as Tian Yi, Wen Chang and Yi Ma are charted by year/day branches per the San Ming Tong Hui system.
