Chinese Four Pillars

BaZi (八字) — Four Pillars of Destiny

BaZi (literally “Eight Characters”) is the classical Chinese system of destiny analysis. Your birth moment generates four pillars — year, month, day, hour — each with a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. The mix of Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) across all eight characters reveals your nature, fortune, and life direction.

Note: Our calculation uses a simplified sexagenary cycle. For solar-term-precise BaZi (the gold standard for Chinese astrology professionals), more advanced compute is on our roadmap.
