Four Pillars (Ba Zi) calculator
Ba Zi is your birth year, month, day and hour written as four stem-branch pairs: eight characters. The day stem is the Day Master and stands for you.
The ten Day Masters
The five elements
What the Ten Gods are
The Ten Gods describe how each other stem relates to the Day Master: peers (Friend, Rob Wealth), what you produce (Eating God, Hurting Officer), what you control (Wealth), what controls you (Officer, Seven Killings) and what supports you (Resource). Together they show your relationship with resources, pressure, expression and support.
FAQ
How is Ba Zi different from Zi Wei Dou Shu?
Both use the year, month, day and hour of birth. Ba Zi reads the five-element interplay of the four pillars around the Day Master; Zi Wei Dou Shu places stars in twelve palaces and reads each palace. Ba Zi changes year at Li Chun, Zi Wei Dou Shu at Lunar New Year.
Can I do this without my birth hour?
The year, month and day pillars do not depend on it; only the hour pillar does. The birth hour finder can narrow it down.
