How BaZi Charting Works
BaZi charting converts a birth date and time into four pillar pairs: year, month, day and hour. Each pillar combines a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, then maps into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. The value of a digital tool is clarity and consistency, not mystery.
