BaZi Calculator: Four Pillars of Destiny
Your Chinese birth chart from the exact date and hour you were born. Day Master, five-element balance, and what the 2026 Fire Horse year means for you.
Pillars follow the solar terms (the BaZi year starts at Li Chun, around Feb 4, not Lunar New Year). Element count uses the eight characters' main elements; hidden stems are in the full report.
What you're looking at
Four Pillars
Year, month, day and hour of birth, each written as one Heavenly Stem and one Earthly Branch. Your zodiac animal is only the Year branch, one character out of eight.
Day Master
The stem of your Day pillar. In BaZi this is you: one of ten types, five elements times Yin and Yang. Everything else in the chart is read relative to it.
2026, the Fire Horse year
The year 丙午 runs from Feb 4, 2026 to Feb 3, 2027. Its Fire meets your Day Master as one of the Ten Gods (Output, Companion, Resource, Authority or Wealth), and its Horse branch interacts with your zodiac branch. Those two relations are the third line above.
Strong or weak?
Whether your Day Master is strong or weak changes which advice applies. That needs the month's season, hidden stems and the luck pillars, which is what the full report covers.
