Find your Day Master
In BaZi, the stem of your day pillar is the element that stands for you. Enter your birth date to see yours, with your pillars, an element chart and where you sit in the five-element cycle. The calculation happens on this page; your date is not sent anywhere.

Your Day Master is one of eight characters
The Written Reading calculates all four pillars from your exact birth time and city, then explains how they work together: the ten gods, the overall pattern, and a three-year cycle map.

How this check works
BaZi writes each day as one of 60 stem-and-branch pairs that repeat in an unbroken cycle. This page counts that cycle from your calendar date to find your day stem, your Day Master. It also shows your year and month pillars, which change at the solar terms: the year at Lichun (立春, around 4 February) and each month at the next “jie” term.
It is deliberately limited. It does not know your birth time zone and does not correct for local solar time. If you add a birth time, it shows a provisional hour pillar from that clock time, uncorrected; the Written Reading corrects it from your birth city. The element chart is a plain count of the visible characters, without the hidden stems or seasonal weighting a reading uses. If your birthday sits on a solar-term boundary, or you were born close to midnight, the result shows the alternative. Read the full method →
Before you buy the Written Reading
Is the free Element Check the same as the Written Reading?
No. The Element Check shows one part of your chart, your Day Master, from your birth date alone, in about a minute. The Written Reading calculates all four pillars from your birth date, time and city and reads the whole chart: the ten gods, the overall pattern and a three-year cycle map.
What exactly will I receive for $49?
A PDF of about 2,000 words, sent by email. It contains your four-pillars chart, an analysis of its structure (Day Master, ten gods, overall pattern) and a three-year cycle map. You can then send written follow-up questions for 14 days.
How long does it take?
Within 48 hours of receiving your birth details. If we are going to miss that, we will email you before the deadline.
How do I send my birth details?
After you pay, Stripe takes you to a short form on this site. It asks for the email and receipt number from your checkout, your birth date, birth time (optional), birth city and country. If anything goes wrong with the form, contact us with your order number and details.
What if I'm not happy with it?
Tell us within 30 days of purchase. You can choose a free rewrite or a full refund. If you change your mind before delivery, we refund you in full.
What happens to my birth details?
They are used only to calculate and write your reading. We keep them for 30 days after delivery so we can handle rewrites and refunds, then delete them, and you can ask us to delete them sooner. The free Element Check runs in your browser and does not send your birth date to us.
Will it predict my future?
No. We read your chart as a description of tendencies and cycles, not as fate. The three-year map shows which themes your chart emphasises in each period, as material for reflection. It does not say what will happen.
