BaZi for January 31, 2005
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: 甲申 — Yang Wood, Monkey
Pillars of the birth day
Day Master:乙Yi, Yin WoodStrength: leaning weak
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
- Wood3
- Fire1
- Earth1.5
- Metal1.5

This day's chart in brief
The Day Master is 乙 (Yi, Yin Wood). The classical image of this stem is grass, a vine, a flower: flexibility, finding a way around obstacles, growing through connections.
The date falls in the 丑 month — the season of Earth. 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 weak: there is more drain than support. The favourable elements are Resource and its own element — here Water and Wood.
Wood is the most abundant element in the chart and Water 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).
