Yang Wood Rat year · Yang Earth Dragon month
Your year pushes through your month. Wood controls Earth — roots breaking ground. Generational drive penetrating personal foundation. The tension is productive.

Your Day Pillar is the one that defines who you actually are. The year is your generation. The month is your environment. The day is you. And you need your exact birthday to see it.
The Hour Pillar reveals how you express it — your inner world, your legacy, the part of you only the people closest to you ever see. Both require your exact birth date and time.
Your Day Pillar — the one that defines who you actually are — needs your exact birthday.
