Unlocking Your BaZi (Eight Characters)
Chinese Astrology, or BaZi (Eight Characters), analyzes your life path based on the interaction of the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) at the hour, day, month, and year of your birth. Each pillar represents a different aspect of your life, from your ancestors to your children.
While most people know their Year animal (like the Dragon or Rabbit), the Day Master—the element of your day pillar—is the true representation of your self. By understanding the balance of elements in your chart, you can identify your favorable colors, careers, and periods of good fortune.
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न
What is the Day Master?+
The Day Master is the heavenly stem (element) of the day you were born. It represents your core self, just like the Sun sign in Western astrology. All other elements in your chart are interpreted in relation to your Day Master.
What are the Four Pillars?+
The Four Pillars are the Year (social circle/grandparents), Month (parents/career), Day (self/spouse), and Hour (children/thoughts). Together, they form your destiny map.
What if I am missing an element?+
Missing an element suggests a potential weakness or area for growth. For example, missing Fire might mean a lack of passion. Feng Shui cures and lifestyle changes can help 'balance' your chart.
Does the Chinese New Year change my sign?+
Yes! The Chinese Zodiac changes on the Lunar New Year (usually late Jan/early Feb) or the Solar New Year (Li Chun, around Feb 4th). If you were born in Jan/Feb, you must check the exact date to know your correct animal sign.
