Generate your Bazi chart online in seconds. Enter your birth details to reveal the Four Pillars of Destiny, your Day Master, and the balance of the Five Elements — completely free, no sign-up.
Most free Bazi tools online translate the classical terms literally — “Hurting Officer”, “Eating God” — leaving English-speaking readers confused. Our calculator runs the same astronomical engine but reframes every concept in plain psychological language, so your chart actually makes sense the first time you read it.
Every chart applies true solar time correction using your birth city's longitude and the equation of time, so the Hour Pillar reflects where the sun actually was when you were born — not the clock on the delivery-room wall. You also get a Five Elements balance breakdown, a Day Master strength read, and a decade-by-decade Life Chapters timeline, all generated locally in your browser.

In Bazi, the Five Elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water — are not substances but energy types. Each charts a distinct temperament and set of strengths. Their generating and controlling cycles explain how the parts of your personality support or temper one another.
Wood (Mu) represents growth, initiative, and creative vision. People with strong Wood energy are pioneers — expansive thinkers who thrive on new beginnings and personal development.
Keywords: Growth · Vision · Initiative
Fire (Huo) is the energy of passion, charisma, and self-expression. Strong Fire brings warmth, leadership presence, and the courage to be seen — it is the element of visibility and enthusiasm.
Keywords: Passion · Charisma · Expression
Earth (Tu) embodies stability, nurturing, and reliability. Earth-dominant charts indicate a grounded, trustworthy nature — patient, supportive, and rooted in practical wisdom.
Keywords: Stability · Nurturing · Reliability
Metal (Jin) stands for discipline, precision, and clarity of standards. Strong Metal energy gives structure, sharp judgment, and a drive for excellence and refinement.
Keywords: Discipline · Precision · Clarity
Water (Shui) is the element of wisdom, adaptability, and depth. Water types are introspective and perceptive — fluid communicators who navigate change with quiet strength.
Keywords: Wisdom · Adaptability · Depth
The Heavenly Stems (天干) are the five elements split into Yang (active) and Yin (receptive) polarities, giving ten archetypes. The top character of each pillar in your chart is a Heavenly Stem — your Day Stem is the single most important character, representing your core self.
JiǎWood · Yang
The great tree — sturdy, ambitious, leadership timber.
YǐWood · Yin
The climbing vine — flexible, adaptable, quietly persistent.
BǐngFire · Yang
The blazing sun — radiant, generous, hard to ignore.
DīngFire · Yin
The lantern flame — refined warmth, insight, and sensitivity.
WùEarth · Yang
The mountain — solid, protective, enduringly present.
JǐEarth · Yin
The fertile soil — nurturing, receptive, cultivates growth.
GēngMetal · Yang
The axe blade — decisive, unyielding, cuts through complexity.
XīnMetal · Yin
The jewelry metal — refined, discriminating, values beauty.
RénWater · Yang
the great ocean — vast, powerful, endlessly flowing.
GuǐWater · Yin
The morning dew — gentle, intuitive, penetrates softly.
The Earthly Branches (地支) are the twelve two-hour windows of the ancient Chinese day, each paired with a zodiac animal and an element. The bottom character of each pillar is an Earthly Branch — your Year Branch is the familiar Chinese zodiac sign, while your Day Branch governs intimacy and relationships.
