Glossary

This glossary explains the core terms shown in this result page, including table fields, chart labels, relationship checks, and missing-input notes. Each term tells you what it is and how to read it in the result.

BaZi: A chart made by turning birth year, month, day, and hour into eight stem-branch characters.
Four Pillars: The four chart columns: year, month, day, and hour.
Year pillar: The year column. Births near early February need to be checked against Li Chun.
Month pillar: The month column. It follows solar terms, not the ordinary calendar month.
Day pillar: The day column. Its top character is the Day Master.
Hour pillar: The hour column. It needs a known birth time.
Day Master: The chart's 'me' point. Most chart relationships are read around it.
Heavenly stems: The ten top characters used in the pillars.
Earthly branches: The twelve bottom characters. Zodiac animals and Chinese hours come from them.
Hidden stems: Extra stems stored inside a branch, like inner layers of that branch.
Ten Gods: Role names made by comparing other stems with the Day Master, such as wealth, power, or resource.
Na Yin: A traditional extra label attached to each stem-branch pair. Use it as reference, not the main result.
Xun / Void: A cycle marker showing which branch pair is treated as 'void' for that pillar.
Twelve phase: A twelve-step state label showing how the Day Master sits on a branch.
Zi hour rule: The rule for whether 23:00-23:59 belongs to the same day or the next day.
Solar terms: The 24 seasonal markers used to switch BaZi months and years.
Compact result table: The first table to read on a result page. The left column names the item, the middle column gives the result, and the right column explains how to read it.
Item: The left column in the result table. It tells you what this row is checking, such as the main anchor, timing, relationship, or chart source.
Result: The middle column in the result table. It gives the calculated answer or current state without making you hunt through long text.
Reading: The right column in the result table. It explains what the result means and why that row matters.
Conclusion: The first judgment on the page. Read it first to get the direction, then use the rows below to check the details.
Result note: Extra context for the conclusion. It explains how to read the result without treating one term as an absolute verdict.
Chart label: A name, number, or position shown in a visual chart. It turns table data into a faster visual check.
Missing-input note: A note that explains why part of the result cannot be completed yet, usually because birth time, gender, or second-person data is missing.
Gregorian date: The solar calendar date on the birth record. The chart uses it with local time to find solar-term boundaries.
Lunar date: The same birth date shown in the traditional lunar calendar for reference. The BaZi calculation still follows solar terms.
Birth record: The date, time, and place-time rule recorded at birth. More accurate records make the chart more complete.
Local clock time: The time shown by the clock at the birth place, not the time in your current city.
UTC offset: The difference between local time and UTC, such as UTC+08:00. Historical daylight-saving rules can change it.
Time-zone database rule: The historical legal time rule for the selected city or zone on the birth date.
Solar-term boundary: The boundary used to switch BaZi years and months. Births near a solar term can fall into a different pillar than the ordinary calendar suggests.
Year-pillar boundary: The year pillar usually changes at Li Chun, not on January 1. Early-February births need this check.
Month command: The seasonal environment from the birth month. It can strengthen or weaken elements in the chart.
Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. The result uses them to describe growth, expression, stability, rules, and flow.
Visible stem: A stem shown openly at the top of a pillar. It is easier to see in outward behavior and clear roles.
Hidden layer: Material stored inside a branch. It is less obvious, but it still shapes habits, reactions, and long-term choices.
Stem relation: How two heavenly stems interact: same, combined, clashed, or no direct trigger.
Branch relation: How two earthly branches interact, such as harmony, clash, harm, or repetition.
Heavenly stem combination: Two stems that traditionally connect and pull in a shared direction.
Heavenly stem clash: Two stems that push against each other, often read as visible tension or different routes.
Six harmony: A branch pair that connects more easily. It does not mean perfect fit, only easier rhythm.
Six clash: A branch pair that pushes or moves each other, often showing change, distance, friction, or adjustment.
Six harm: A quieter branch friction, often shown as unclear expectations or small discomfort that builds up.
Fetal origin: An auxiliary position used as background only. Read the four pillars and Day Master first.
Life palace: An auxiliary position used to reference life themes and outer setting. It does not decide the chart by itself.
Body palace: An auxiliary position used for action style and body involvement. Treat it as support context.
Converted time: A solar-term or boundary moment shown in the selected time zone so you can check the pillar boundary.
Four-pillar chart: The visual that places year, month, day, and hour into four columns with stems, branches, and hidden stems.
UTC moment: The same birth moment after converting local clock time to UTC, used to check time-zone rules.
Year / month rules: The rule that year and month pillars follow solar-term boundaries, not January 1 or ordinary calendar months.
Day / hour rules: The rule that day and hour pillars use the recorded local clock time.

Tool FAQ

What birth information does the BaZi chart need?

Use the Gregorian birth date, recorded local birth time, and the time zone or UTC offset in effect at birth. If the time is unknown, the hour pillar is left out.

Does the BaZi year start on January 1?

No. A Zi Ping BaZi year is usually read from Li Chun, so births near early February must be checked against that solar-term boundary.

Why show hidden stems and Ten Gods?

Hidden stems show what is stored inside each branch. Ten Gods show how visible and hidden stems relate to the Day Master.

What changes when birth time is unknown?

The hour pillar is omitted. The year, month, and day pillars can still be shown, but any term that depends on the hour pillar is incomplete.
