Create my Chinese birth chartA Chinese birth chart has layers
The year animal is only the most public layer. A full Bazi birth chart uses the year, month, day, and hour to create a more precise elemental map.
Time and place help accuracy
Birth time determines the hour pillar, while birth location can affect true solar time. These details matter most near the edge of a two-hour Chinese time period.
The reading connects the layers
Satellite Feng Shui combines the calculated chart with a narrative reading so users can understand what the stems, branches, Ten Gods, and elements suggest in plain English.
FAQ
Do I need my exact birth time?
Exact time is best. If you do not know it, you can still explore the chart with an approximate hour.
Is a Chinese birth chart only for personality?
No. It can also be used to explore timing, relationship patterns, career style, and decision windows.
