What the pillars say
Fire Dog — the year animal
Dogs are traditionally described as loyal, principled, the one people trust; the Fire element of 1946 adds a expressive, warm tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yang Wood Day Master — the core self
The day stem 甲 is the tall tree — straight-growing, principled, stubborn about direction; thrives with room to expand. Hidden in the day branch 子: 癸 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on April 20, 1946?
April 20, 1946 falls in the 丙戌 year — the Fire Dog. Note that the zodiac year follows the solar calendar (changing at 立春, early February), not January 1, so dates in January and early February belong to the previous animal year.
What is the Day Master and why does it matter more than the animal?
The zodiac animal is one of eight characters in the full chart. The Day Master — here 甲 (Yang Wood) — is the element that represents the person; classical BaZi reads everything else relative to it.
Why is the hour pillar missing?
The fourth pillar requires the time of birth, corrected to true solar time of the birthplace. Add your birth time in the free DayAtlas calculator to complete the chart, including Luck Pillars and a personal day forecast.
