What is BaZi?
BaZi (八字), literally "Eight Characters," is the foundational system of Chinese astrology practiced continuously for over a thousand years. It maps your birth moment into four pillars — Year, Month, Day, and Hour — each consisting of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch.
Your Day Master (the Heavenly Stem of your Day Pillar) represents your core self. The balance of Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) across your chart reveals personality tendencies, strengths, and life patterns.
Unlike Western astrology which uses 12 signs, BaZi uses a 60-year cycle (六十甲子) creating far more unique combinations. No two hours in a 60-year span produce the same chart.
