Chinese astrology and the Four Pillars (BaZi)
BaZi, the Chinese Four Pillars system, describes your birth through the pillars of year, month, day and hour, each pairing a heavenly stem with an earthly branch. This report finds your core element, the balance of the five elements and your 10-year luck periods.
What's inside
- Your four pillars: eight characters of stems and branches
- Day master: the element at your core
- The five elements, their balance and what steadies you
- Your animal sign, from the solar year that starts around 4 February
- 10-year luck periods and the theme of each
Who it is for
For anyone who knows their Chinese animal sign and wants the fuller picture.
What you need
Needs your date, time and place of birth; without a time the hour pillar is left out and the report reads the other three.
