What the pillars say
Earth Pig — the year animal
Pigs are traditionally described as generous, sincere, builds comfort around them; the Earth element of 2020 adds a steady, grounding tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yin Fire Day Master — the core self

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on January 5, 2020?
January 5, 2020 falls in the 己亥 year — the Earth Pig. 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 丁 (Yin 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.
