Learn BaZi with a Practice Chart

Each year, month, day and hour pillar has a heavenly stem above an earthly branch. The example's month pillar is Ren-Wu; its day pillar is Xin-Hai.

The Day Master is the stem of the day pillar. Xin-Hai gives a Xin Metal Day Master; Hai is the day branch. This site leaves the hour pillar unavailable when the birth hour is unknown.

The stem pairs are Jia/Yi Wood, Bing/Ding Fire, Wu/Ji Earth, Geng/Xin Metal and Ren/Gui Water. The first stem in each pair is yang and the second yin. Metal generates Water.

First compare the elements, then the polarity. Xin Metal generates Ren Water with opposite polarity, giving Hurting Officer. Xin controls Jia Wood with opposite polarity, giving Direct Wealth. Changing the Day Master changes the relationship.

The month branch represents a solar-term month. Here it is Wu, whose hidden stems are Ding and Ji, with Ding Fire as the main qi. Assessing strength also requires roots, revealed stems and the whole chart's relationships.

After identifying a Ten God, record its pillar, whether it is revealed and its roots. Direct Wealth names a relationship; that label alone cannot establish someone's income. Use the example for rules, then continue with the existing two lessons on your own chart.

These lessons use a fixed teaching chart without birth input. Afterwards, open the BaZi tool to check your own pillars and Day Master.

The course teaches chart reading and classification, including why season, roots and hidden stems matter together. Useful-element selection requires a full chart and a stated method.

Missed questions return at the end and become due in ten minutes. Correct answers move to review intervals of one, three, seven days and longer. First-answer accuracy keeps the original result. You can return to due questions after completing the course.
