Born April 1996

Yang Fire Rat year · Yang Water Dragon month

Your Two Pillars

Year
Yang Fire
Rat
Month
Yang Water
Dragon

Your month burns under your year's depth. Fire is controlled by Water — personal intensity tempered by generational current.

Both pillars push outward. Direct energy. Visible ambition. What you carry and what you were born into both face the world head-on.

Hidden Stems

Your year branch (子 · Rat) carries: 癸 Water. Your month branch (辰 · Dragon) carries: 戊 Earth · 乙 Wood · 癸 Water. These hidden elements create a deeper layer of interaction beneath the two visible stems — currents that shape how the year-month relationship actually plays out in your life.

Nayin · 涧下水

Water in the Gorge — depth forced into a narrow channel. Concentrated, fast-moving, carving through stone. Not gentle. Not wide. But unstoppable in its lane. Read more about Water in the Gorge →

Note: BaZi months follow the solar terms (節氣), not the Gregorian calendar. Boundaries shift by 1–2 days each year. If you were born near the start or end of a month, your actual pillars may differ. Enter your exact birth date below — the calculator handles the solar calendar precisely.

What's missing

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.
