BaZi: The Structure of a Life in Four Pillars

Quick answer

BaZi arranges the stems and branches of your birth year, month, day and hour into four pillars. The day stem represents you; the Ten Gods describe how the other characters relate to it, and luck cycles trace the trend of each life stage.

How to study this

  1. Start with the basic vocabulary and one symbol at a time.
  2. Write down your question, its context, and how you read it.
  3. Do not treat a symbolic system as medical, legal, or financial advice.
