Bazi Chart - Chinese Birth Destiny

Bazi, meaning "Eight Characters", is the Chinese four pillars of destiny. Born from your year, month, day and hour, it reveals your cosmic blueprint.

The Ten Gods (十神)

Direct Wealth, Indirect Wealth, Direct Officer, Seven Killings, Eating God, Hurting Officer, Direct Resource, Indirect Resource, Friend, Rob Wealth. Each represents a different life force and interaction pattern.

Favorable and Unfavorable Elements (用神)

Your chart has one or two elements that most benefit you. These are your Useful Gods. Wear their colors, face their directions, make decisions on their days.

Major Luck Cycles (大运)

Every ten years you enter a new luck cycle. This determines the energy of the next decade. Good luck cycles bring opportunity. Bad luck cycles require patience.

Yearly Fortune (流年)

Each year a new earthly branch arrives. If it supports your Useful Gods, it is a good year. If it clashes with your chart, be cautious.

The Four Pillars

Each pillar represents a layer of your life. The Year pillar governs your ancestors and early environment. The Month pillar governs your career and parents. The Day pillar governs you and your spouse. The Hour pillar governs your children and legacy.

The Five Elements Balance

Your Bazi chart reveals whether you have excess or deficiency of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water. A balanced chart brings a smooth life. An imbalanced chart reveals your challenges and how to compensate.

How to Read Your Chart

Find your Day Master element first. This is the core of who you are. Then examine the other seven characters for support, clash or harmony. A strong Day Master can handle wealth and power. A weak Day Master needs support first.

Common Patterns

Too much Fire: impulsive, passionate but unstable. Too much Water: intelligent but directionless. Too much Metal: disciplined but rigid. Too much Wood: creative but scattered. Too much Earth: stable but stagnant.
