FAQ
What Chinese zodiac sign is someone born on September 12, 2016?
September 12, 2016 falls in the 丙申 year — the Fire Monkey. 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.
