What the pillars say
Earth Dragon — the year animal
Dragons are traditionally described as ambitious, magnetic, allergic to small plans; the Earth element of 1988 adds a steady, grounding tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yang Fire Day Master — the core self
The day stem 丙 is the sun — warm, expressive, impossible to ignore; energizes whole rooms. Hidden in the day branch 申: 庚, 壬, 戊 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×3 · Fire ×1.5 · Earth ×3.5 · Metal ×1.5 · 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: 破 Break.
Ten Gods in this chart

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on February 11, 1988?
February 11, 1988 falls in the 戊辰 year — the Earth Dragon. 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 丙 (Yang Fire) — 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.
