A BaZi reading starts with your chart and ends with what it means for you. Enter your birth date and time, and GuanXiang casts the four pillars, then reads your Day Master, elements, Ten Gods and luck cycles with the reasoning shown. The first reading is free and needs no account.
Get my free BaZi readingA proper reading is not a single verdict. It works through the chart layer by layer, and each layer answers a different question.
Enter your birth date, birth time and birthplace region in the calculator. If you were born in Singapore or Malaysia before 1982, the calculator applies the UTC+7:30 clock of the time; you only enter what is on your birth certificate.
Read the free result: four pillars, Day Master strength, favorable elements, Five Elements, Ten Gods, and the readings for your current luck pillar, this year and this month, each with the rule it rests on.
Ask follow-up questions or go deeper when you want to. Signing up unlocks the full personality profile and AI consultations that remember your chart; the 100-year Life K-Line and the Life Rhythm Book are paid reports.

Two things are being judged at once. The chart itself is arithmetic: solar terms, the sixty-day cycle and the two-hour periods give the same four pillars every time for the same birth details, and you can check them by hand. GuanXiang shows the rule behind each pillar so you can verify it.
The interpretation is a traditional framework, not a scientific forecast. A good reading tells you which rule it is applying and where schools differ, so you can weigh it. Treat it as a structured way to understand yourself and your timing, and weigh real-life facts for big decisions.
Yes. The chart, Day Master strength, favorable elements, Five Elements, Ten Gods and the readings for your current luck pillar, this year and this month are free and need no account. The full personality profile and AI consultations open after sign-up; the Life K-Line and Life Rhythm Book are paid.
Your birth date, birth time and birthplace region. The region matters because the pillars follow local time and historical time zones; Singapore and Malaysia, for example, used UTC+7:30 before 1982.
Partly. Without the hour, the calculator shows the pillars that stay the same all day and marks the hour pillar as unknown. Favorable elements and the luck-pillar timing need the hour, so the reading deepens once you add it.
The zodiac uses one character, your birth year animal. A BaZi reading uses all eight characters of the four pillars, centred on the day pillar, which is why two people with the same animal get very different readings.
Yes. The compatibility calculator casts both charts and compares Day Masters, elements, branches and timing for partners, family, friends or colleagues.
