BaZi for January 5, 2000
Three pillars without a birth time, the Day Master and the Five Elements balance. To add the hour pillar and your birthplace, build the full chart.
Chinese calendar year: 己卯 — Yin Earth, Rabbit
Pillars of the birth day
Day Master:壬Ren, Yang WaterStrength: leaning strong
Calculated without a birth time; time zone and longitude are those of Tashkent (UTC+5) as a neutral place. For another place and an exact time, build the full chart. The BaZi year begins at Li Chun (around 4 February), so for January and early-February dates the year pillar is the previous one.
Five Elements balance

This day's chart in brief
The Day Master is 壬 (Ren, Yang Water). The classical image of this stem is the sea, a great river: scope, movement, a mind that does not stand still.
The date falls in the 子 month — the season of Water. The season is the main factor in the Day Master's strength, so everyone born on this day shares the same chart foundation; the hour and place of birth add the differences.
Judging by three pillars, the Day Master leans strong: the chart has more support than drain. The favourable elements are usually those that channel its energy — here Wood and Fire and Earth.
Earth is the most abundant element in the chart and Metal the scarcest. The balance counts visible stems and the Hidden Stems of the branches; the hour pillar can change it noticeably.
The hour pillar depends on the birth time: the table below gives it for every two-hour period. Taking the birthplace into account, the time is converted to true solar time, and a two-hour boundary can shift.
If you know the time — the hour pillar by two-hour period

23:00–23:59 is the “late Zi”: the hour stem follows the next day (the day pillar stays this one).
