What is BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny)?

BaZi (八字) translates the exact time of birth into four pillars — year, month, day, and hour — each carrying a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch. The system, refined over a thousand years from the Tang to the Qing dynasties, maps the elemental balance of a life.

What information do I need for a reading?

An accurate birth date, birth time (hour), and birthplace. The hour pillar matters most and cannot be reconstructed reliably without it.

Is the free calculator enough, or should I order a reading?

The calculator gives you your chart and a summary. The full reading adds interpretation of the ten gods, useful god analysis, and year-by-year timing — the layer that requires human judgment.
