Born July 10, 2020 — Metal Rat
People born on July 10, 2020 are Metal Rats — the 庚子 year by the solar calendar. Their day pillar is 甲寅: a Yang Wood Day Master, the tall tree — straight-growing, principled, stubborn about direction; thrives with room to expand. The month pillar is 癸未 (Yin Water · Goat).
What the pillars say
Metal Rat — the year animal
Rats are traditionally described as quick-witted, resourceful, first to spot an opening; the Metal element of 2020 adds a disciplined, exacting 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 寅: 甲, 丙, 戊 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×3 · Fire ×1 · Earth ×2 · Metal ×1 · Water ×2.5. Wood leads. The month season works against the Day Master — the birth hour would confirm this. The almanac officer for this day: 危 Danger.
Ten Gods in this chart
Yang Wood — your Day Master, the self the chart reads from.
The year stem Yang Metal is your Seven Killings (七杀) — pressure, challenge, decisive action under stress.
The month stem Yin Water is your Direct Resource (正印) — support, study, protection, knowledge passed down.
Hidden in your day branch: Friend, Eating God, Indirect Wealth.
How the pillars interact
No major clash or combination between the three branches — a comparatively even structure (the hour pillar can change this).

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on July 10, 2020?
July 10, 2020 falls in the 庚子 year — the Metal Rat. 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.
