What the pillars say
Metal Ox — the year animal
Oxs are traditionally described as patient, dependable, immovable once committed; the Metal element of 2021 adds a disciplined, exacting tone. The animal is the public layer of the chart — how the generation moves.
Yin Earth Day Master — the core self
The day stem 己 is the garden soil — nurturing, adaptive, quietly cultivating everything planted in it. Hidden in the day branch 巳: 丙, 庚, 戊 — undercurrents that shape relationships and instincts.
Element balance
Visible and hidden together: Wood ×0.5 · Fire ×1.5 · Earth ×4 · Metal ×2 · Water ×2. Earth leads. The month season works against the Day Master — 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 November 17, 2021?
November 17, 2021 falls in the 辛丑 year — the Metal Ox. 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 己 (Yin Earth) — 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.
