Year Pillar (年柱)
Represents your roots — family lineage, the era you were born into, and your earliest 16 years. The hidden stems here describe inherited tendencies most people never name.
Enter your birth date, time and city. AI bazi computes your four pillars from the solar calendar, identifies your day master, names the ten gods on every pillar, and shows your five-element balance — the same chart a 子平 master would draw, in 30 seconds.
AI bazi adjusts to local mean solar time. Skip if you only know the clock time.
No mystical jargon. AI bazi follows the same five-step calculation a 子平 practitioner would do by hand — only faster.
Date, time and city. AI bazi converts to true solar time so the hour pillar is correct — most online calculators skip this and the chart drifts by one stem.
Year, month, day, hour — each pillar gets a heavenly stem and an earthly branch. Day master is highlighted; ten gods are named on every other position.
Five-element balance, useful god (用神), forbidden god (忌神), decade-luck pillars and annual pillars — explained in plain language with the classical rule cited.
A bazi chart is four columns. Each column has a heavenly stem on top and an earthly branch on the bottom — eight characters in total. AI bazi reads each pillar through the lens of your day master.

The most weighted pillar in classical bazi. Governs career path, social standing, and your relationship with parents. The month branch (月支) sets your seasonal element — the foundation of your luck reading.
The day stem (日干) is your day master — the "you" the entire chart revolves around. The day branch (日支) is your spouse palace and inner self.
Children, creative output, and the second half of life. AI bazi flags when the hour pillar contains your useful god — a classical signal that late-life luck outshines early years.
Every stem and branch maps to one of five elements. AI bazi tallies your distribution, names which element is too strong or too weak, and prescribes the useful god (用神) — the element that brings your chart back into balance.
Growth, ambition, vision. A wood-strong chart often shows leadership and stubbornness in equal measure.
Passion, expression, ritual. Fire fuels reputation and burnout — bazi reads both sides honestly.
Stability, trust, real estate. Earth pillars often anchor people who become the foundation others build on.
Discipline, justice, refinement. Metal day masters tend toward sharp judgment and precise standards.
Wisdom, flow, intuition. Water charts read situations the way a river reads terrain.
The ten gods (十神) describe how each pillar relates to your day master — friend, rival, output, wealth, authority, or resource. They are why two people born minutes apart can read very differently.
Same element as your day master. Allies, siblings, partners — and the cost of competition.
What your day master produces. Creativity, children, talent — and how visible you make it.
What your day master controls. Income, possessions, the spouse for a male chart.
What controls your day master. Career authority, rules, the spouse for a female chart, and the discipline you struggle against.
What feeds your day master. Mother, learning, support — and dependence when overdone.

Bazi is hard because the calculation is mechanical but the reading is interpretive. AI bazi separates the two: the numbers are exact, the reading is grounded in classical 子平 rules — never invented.
AI bazi adjusts for longitude and equation of time so the hour pillar is correct. Most free calculators skip this and produce a wrong stem 30% of the time.
Every interpretation cites a 子平真诠 / 滴天髓 rule. You can verify what the AI says against a textbook — it is not making up text from a horoscope template.
Bazi describes patterns, not events. AI bazi names tendencies and risks — it never predicts a date, a partner, or a death. That is the classical position.
Your birth time is not stored on a server, not used for ads, and never sold. The chart is computed in-memory and discarded the moment you leave.
Free during beta. No account, no birth-data stored, no horoscope filler. Just your four pillars and what they mean — in your language.
