Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Bazi is a traditional Chinese metaphysical system based on astronomical calendars and the philosophy of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. While it isn't "scientific" by modern standards, it has served as a cultural and philosophical framework for self-reflection and life planning for centuries. Think of it as a symbolic map—not a deterministic prophecy.

You need your exact birth date (Gregorian or Lunar), birth hour (within the 2-hour Chinese zodiac time block), and gender. The more precise your birth time, the more accurate your chart will be. Your name is not required for chart calculation.

That’s the beauty of Bazi! Every person’s birth moment is unique—even a few minutes apart can create a different chart. Your Bazi reflects your individual personality, strengths, challenges, and life patterns.

Bazi helps you "know your fate" so you can work with it wisely. While your chart reveals tendencies and cycles, your choices, efforts, and awareness play a crucial role in shaping your life. Bazi is a guide—not a sentence.

The Four Pillars are made of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. The Ten Gods describe dynamic relationships between the Day Master and other elements in the chart. The Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) form the energetic foundation—analyzing their balance and interaction is key to interpretation.
