Five Elements Four Pillars Life cycles
Eight characters.
Many ways to explore.
BaZi arranges your birth year, month, day and hour into four pairs. Each pair has a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. The symbols are a traditional framework for reflection, not a scientific personality test.
Season and foundation
The solar month establishes the season of the chart and provides context for the other elements.
Your Day Master
The day’s Heavenly Stem is the Day Master: the reference point used to describe relationships between chart symbols.
A later perspective
Traditionally associated with creativity and later life. An accurate recorded time matters for this pillar.
How the layers come together
What are the Five Elements?
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water describe traditional relationships between symbols. The visible counts in Ming are a starting point, not a measure of chart strength or a recommendation to add an element.
What are hidden stems and Ten Gods?
Each Earthly Branch contains one or more hidden stems. Ten Gods name how a stem relates to your Day Master, including peer, output, wealth, authority and resource relationships. Their names are traditional labels, not predictions.
Why do birth time and place matter?
We resolve the local birth time using the selected historical time zone. The default uses local civil time; you may choose approximate apparent solar time and a midnight or 11 p.m. day boundary in Calculation preferences. Different schools can produce different day or hour pillars near a boundary.
When do the year and month change?
For BaZi, Ming uses the Li Chun solar term for the year and solar terms for month boundaries. The popular Shio calculator also offers the Lunar New Year convention, so the two can differ around the new year.
What about luck cycles?
Traditional ten-year cycles are optional and use a selected traditional formula. They are a symbolic timing framework, and different schools may calculate their direction and starting age differently.
