Your instant preview
The Chinese zodiac animal of your birth year and its yin or yang polarity. This is the headline everyone looks for, the archetype that's been yours all along.
The Heavenly Stem of your birth day. This is the element you are actually made of, and almost nobody knows to check for it in their chart.
How the five elements sit across your pillars: which ones dominate your chart, and which are missing: the forces you unconsciously seek in others and in life.
A look at the deeper chapters that open in the complete reading, from your Ten Gods to your luck cycles.
Your preview is real. The full reading goes further.
How it works
Your birth date is the only input needed. The calculator maps it onto the Chinese sexagenary cycle to build your Year, Month, and Day pillars.
Each pillar carries a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. Together they reveal your Year Animal, your Day Master, and how the five elements sit in your chart.
See an instant preview of your animal, your Day Master, and your elemental balance, then open the full reading if it lands: Ten Gods, missing elements, and your luck cycles.
Your next step
The full reading takes your preview deep: your Day Master profile, the Ten Gods that govern how you relate to authority, wealth, and creativity, the elements missing from your chart, and the 10-year luck cycles your life moves through. Unlock it chapter by chapter with credits — free to start.

Before you go
BaZi, also called the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a Chinese astrology system built from your birth date and hour. Each of the four pillars (Year, Month, Day, and Hour) carries a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, and together they form a chart read as a map of your nature, strengths, and timing.
The pillar that matters most is your Day Master, the Heavenly Stem of your birth day, which names your core element and identity. Around it the calculator weighs the five elements, finds your dominant and missing forces, and reveals the Year Animal and Ten Gods that shape how you move through the world.

Your Year Animal is based on your birth year and is the archetype everyone knows, like Tiger or Dragon. Your Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of your birth day and represents the element you are made of, such as Yang Wood or Yin Fire. The animal is the headline; the Day Master is the deeper story almost nobody checks.
Your birth date is enough to build three pillars and see your preview. Adding your birth hour reveals your fourth pillar and sharpens the reading, but it is optional.
Your Day Master is the Heavenly Stem of your birth day. It represents your core identity in BaZi: the element you are, such as Yang Wood or Yin Fire, and how you naturally engage with the world.
The calculator pairs your Year Animal with its Heavenly Stem to give its yin or yang polarity and element, then weighs all five elements across your pillars to find your dominant and missing forces.
The full reading expands your preview into deep chapters: your Day Master profile, your Ten Gods, your Year Animal compatibility, your missing elements, and the 10-year luck cycles your life moves through.
Your birth date is used to calculate your chart. It is not stored unless you purchase a reading, at which point it is saved to deliver your report.
