Ba Zi Basics
Free Ba Zi Chart Calculator
A Ba Zi chart turns the moment you were born into four pillars of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches—and the rhythm hidden inside them.
Meet your chart with a free reading: see your Day Master, Five Elements, Ten Gods, and luck cycles at a glance, then let the AI reading walk you through character, career, love, and timing.
What a Ba Zi chart really shows
Ba Zi, the Four Pillars, captures your birth moment as Year, Month, Day, and Hour—each a Heavenly Stem paired with an Earthly Branch, eight characters in all. It follows the solar terms and the stem-branch calendar, not simply the date on a wall calendar.
Inside are your Day Master, Five Elements, hidden stems, Ten Gods, and luck cycles. The story lives not in any single character, but in how they support and restrain one another.
Three things to read first
Start with the Day Master, the stem that stands for you. Then feel the Five Elements—where you run strong and where you run thin. Finally read the luck cycles to see how each chapter of life shifts.
If an AI reading is offered, begin with the overview, then ease into career, wealth, love, and health. The jargon can come one term at a time.
How to use what you find
Treat it as a mirror: your tendencies, your pace, and the directions worth strengthening all come into focus, which makes planning easier.
Just don't let it decide for you. For career, marriage, and money, the chart is one lens—the real answer still lives in your own circumstances.

FAQ
Add it if you can. Without it you can still read the year, month, and day pillars, but the Hour Pillar, luck-cycle detail, and some marriage and children clues get fuzzy.
Charting gives you the structure; interpretation walks you through what that structure may mean across different parts of life.
