Born March 21, 2020 — Metal Rat
People born on March 21, 2020 are Metal Rats — the 庚子 year by the solar calendar. Their day pillar is 癸亥: a Yin Water Day Master, the mist and rain — subtle, intuitive, persistent; nourishes invisibly. The month pillar is 己卯 (Yin Earth · Rabbit).
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.
Yin Water Day Master — the core self
The day stem 癸 is the mist and rain — subtle, intuitive, persistent; nourishes invisibly. Hidden in the day branch 亥: 壬, 甲 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×2 · Earth ×1 · Metal ×1 · Water ×4. Water leads; no Fire surfaces. The month season is neither boosting nor draining the Day Master — the birth hour would confirm this. The almanac officer for this day: 成 Success.

FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on March 21, 2020?
March 21, 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 癸 (Yin Water) — 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.
