Bazi — Four Pillars Calculator
Your Bazi chart (Four Pillars of Destiny): year, month, day and hour of birth in the 60-year cycle of stems and branches — calculated from exact solar terms, with an AI-written reading.
Bazi ("Four Pillars of Destiny") needs an exact time of birth — without it, the Hour Pillar can't be calculated. The Year and Month are counted by exact solar terms, not calendar dates.
What the Bazi chart means
Bazi ("eight characters") builds a chart from four pairs of "heavenly stem — earthly branch" — for the year, month, day and hour of birth in the traditional 60-year cycle. The Year and Month aren't counted by the calendar but by exact solar terms (the year starts at Lichun — "the beginning of spring" — not January 1); the Day is calculated from a continuous 60-day cycle; the Hour follows the traditional "Five Rats" rule from the Day stem. The Day Pillar gives the Day Master — the core of character — and together all eight signs of the Bazi chart show the balance of the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.
Like the other tools on this portal, Bazi is a practice for self-discovery, not medical or financial advice.
