Background: the science & culture

The 24 Solar Terms — UNESCO-listed knowledge. In 2016, UNESCO inscribed the Chinese solar terms on its Intangible Cultural Heritage list, describing them as knowledge developed through observation of the sun's annual motion. Every BaZi year and month boundary comes from these astronomical events.
Heavenly Stems & Earthly Branches. Ten stems and twelve branches form a 60-part cycle that has counted time in China for over two thousand years — an early example of symbolic notation, described by Chinese scholars as "using written characters to represent numbers."
Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. A philosophical framework of relationships — nourishing and restraining — that shaped Chinese medicine, agriculture, and the arts. Your chart is a snapshot of how these five energies combine at your birth time.

This chart and report are provided as a cultural experience and entertainment reference, based on the traditional Chinese BaZi framework. They are not a scientific prediction and not medical, financial, or legal advice.

More than a fortune-telling tool

BaZi Code reads the ancient Chinese calendar with respect and accuracy, and explains the ideas behind it: solar terms, the sexagenary cycle, yin-yang, and the five elements.
