BaZi Calculator

BaZi, literally "eight characters," is the Chinese equivalent of a birth chart. It maps four pillars — Year, Month, Day, and Hour — each containing a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. Together these eight characters encode your elemental constitution, relational dynamics, and the timing of major life phases. Where Vedic astrology reads planetary positions against Nakshatras, BaZi reads the interplay of Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) across the four temporal pillars of your birth.

Your Day Master — the Heavenly Stem of your Day Pillar — is the anchor of the entire chart. It represents your core identity. The Ten Gods system then maps how every other element in your chart relates to that Day Master: wealth, authority, resources, output, and companions. Luck Pillars (Da Yun) cycle every ten years, shifting which elements are active in your life and timing windows of opportunity or challenge.
