What the pillars say
Wood Monkey — the year animal
Monkeys are traditionally described as inventive, playful, solves what others give up on; the Wood element of 2004 adds a growing, principled tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yin Metal Day Master — the core self
The day stem 辛 is fine jewelry — refined, exacting, quality-obsessed; shines when polished by challenge. Hidden in the day branch 未: 己, 丁, 乙 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×2 · Fire ×0.5 · Earth ×4.5 · Metal ×2.5 · Water ×1. Earth leads. The month gives the Day Master a strong seasonal footing — the birth hour would confirm this. The almanac officer for this day: 平 Balance.

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on April 22, 2004?
April 22, 2004 falls in the 甲申 year — the Wood Monkey. 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 辛 (Yin Metal) — 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.
