八字 — "Eight Characters." Your birth moment encoded as four pairs: a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch for the year, month, day and hour of your birth. Together they form a map of your elemental nature, your relationships, your life chapters and the timing of your destiny.
BaZi is not a character description based on your birth year animal — that is Chinese zodiac, which this system contains as one layer of eight. A full BaZi chart requires exact birth date and time. The Day Master (the Heavenly Stem of your birth day) is the starting point: the lens through which your entire chart is read.
