Generate your Chinese BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny) chart from your birth date and time.
BaZi (八字, literally "Eight Characters") is a Chinese astrology system that uses your birth year, month, day and hour to create four "pillars," each composed of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. These eight characters reveal your personality, life path, relationships and fortune cycles.
The hour pillar (时柱) represents your inner self, hidden talents and how others perceive you closely. BaZi practitioners consider the hour pillar critical for a complete reading. If you do not know your birth hour, the three-pillar reading (year, month, day) still provides valuable insights.
BaZi, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny (四柱命理), is one of the most sophisticated fortune-telling systems in Chinese metaphysics. Developed over two millennia, it draws on the interaction between the Ten Heavenly Stems (天干) and Twelve Earthly Branches (地支), which together encode the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in specific configurations. A skilled BaZi reader analyzes the balance of elements in a person's chart to understand their character, identify favorable periods, and provide guidance on career, relationships and health. This tool generates an authentic BaZi chart from your birth data and provides an introductory interpretation of your elemental profile.
