What the pillars say
Fire Rat — the year animal
Rats are traditionally described as quick-witted, resourceful, first to spot an opening; the Fire element of 1996 adds a expressive, warm tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yang Metal Day Master — the core self
The day stem 庚 is raw metal — decisive, dutiful, sharpened by pressure; built for hard tasks. Hidden in the day branch 戌: 戊, 辛, 丁 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×1.5 · Fire ×1.5 · Earth ×1.5 · Metal ×2.5 · Water ×1.5. Metal 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

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on March 14, 1996?
March 14, 1996 falls in the 丙子 year — the Fire 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 庚 (Yang 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.
