How this chart is calculated

Your birth date, local hour and birthplace determine the Four Pillars. Birthplace is used to adjust the time for the sun’s position. Your name labels the result; it does not change the calendar calculation.

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.
