This starter calculates only the traditional year pillar. A complete BaZi chart also uses month, day, hour, birthplace and solar-term boundaries.
What this result means
A first layer, not a complete destiny chart.
BaZi means "Eight Characters": four pillars for year, month, day and hour. This free tool intentionally shows only the year pillar so you can learn the basic vocabulary before deciding whether a deeper reading is useful.
A language for reflection
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are symbolic relationships, not personality diagnoses or medical categories.
