BaZi Pillars, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny, are a key concept in Chinese astrology and metaphysics. Each individual’s BaZi chart consists of four pillars—year, month, day, and hour—each representing specific elements and influences. Each pillar is made up of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, combining to create a total of eight characters. The Heavenly Stems are associated with the five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—while the Earthly Branches correspond to animal signs from the Chinese zodiac.

Together, these pillars reveal insights into a person’s personality, destiny, and life path. By analyzing the balance of elements and interactions between the stems and branches, practitioners can gain a deeper understanding of strengths, weaknesses, and potential challenges in various aspects of life, including career, relationships, and health. BaZi is a powerful tool for self-discovery and guidance in decision-making.

The pillars listed below are organized by year of birth. Please keep in mind that the Chinese New Year typically falls around February 4th. Therefore, individuals born before this date will be categorized under the previous year.
