Your reading

How the reading works

Year starts at Li Chun (Sun 315°); months follow 30° solar terms. Zi convention: day changes at 23:00 local civil time, including daylight saving; no solar-time correction. Without time, alternatives appear and the hour pillar is omitted. Counts cover eight visible symbols, not total elemental strength; no decade cycles.

Symbolic meaning; the calculation does not establish personal traits or predict events.

Year, month, day and hour: explore your Chinese Four Pillars chart.

What this tool helps you explore

Explore a Chinese chart organised into year, month, day and hour. Each pillar pairs a stem with a branch; the reading introduces their elements and the Day Master as references within this symbolic system.

How to use it

Enter birth date, place and time if known. Calculate the pillars and review the time summary. Mark the time unknown when necessary so the tool shows the relevant alternatives.

Reading your result

Read the pillars together before focusing on the most repeated element. Counts show visible symbols, not their full astrological strength. This version follows its stated calendar and day-boundary conventions, so other methods may differ near transitions.
