BaZi · 八字

A map of your personal structure and timing

BaZi turns a birth date and, when known, birth time into Four Pillars. The method explores the balance of the Five Elements, recurring behavioural patterns and the way longer periods interact with the natal chart.

What the chart contains

Four Pillars, one connected system

The Year, Month, Day and Hour Pillars each contain a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. They are not four isolated labels. Their elements, polarity, Hidden Stems, combinations, clashes and seasonal context create the chart’s overall pattern.

The Day Stem is called the Day Master. It is the reference point used to classify the Ten Gods: peer, resource, output, wealth and authority relationships. These names describe functions within the chart, not moral judgements.

What BaZi can help you examine

Natural resources

How you tend to process information, act, recover and contribute when the chart is supported.

Recurring tensions

Where the balance becomes overloaded, scattered or too rigid, and what kind of support may be useful.

Timing

How 10-year Luck Pillars and annual influences change emphasis without removing personal agency.

Why birth time matters

If the time is unknown, the Year, Month and Day Pillars can still be calculated. The Hour Pillar and conclusions that depend on it remain unavailable. Green Jade marks that limitation instead of inventing missing data.

Responsible use: BaZi is presented for education and reflection. It does not diagnose health, guarantee financial outcomes or replace professional advice.

How Green Jade presents the result

The calculator shows the Four Pillars, Hidden Stems, Five Elements balance, Day Master strength, useful-element framework, interactions, Shen Sha, Life Palaces, Da Yun and annual Pillars. An AI-assisted report then explains the relationships in plain English and keeps uncertainty visible.
