What makes these calculators different

  • Free, with no sign-up. Every calculator works without an account; the only paid item is the optional chart guide.
  • Your birthplace, handled properly. Pick your city and we apply its historical time zone, daylight saving and true solar time automatically (true solar time can be switched off).
  • Conventions you can see and choose. The year starts at the Start of Spring (立春); the day boundary is your choice of 23:00 or midnight; and if you don't know your birth hour you still get three pillars plus the twelve possible Hour pillars.
  • Honest about edge cases. Born near a solar term, late at night, or between the Start of Spring and Chinese New Year? We show both versions of your chart and explain why other sites may differ.
  • Explained in plain English. Tap any character to see what it means in your chart. No jargon without a translation.
  • Tested, and private. Solar terms from 1900 to 2100 are checked against an independent astronomical calculation, and every release is run against 14 tricky birth moments. Every calculation runs in your browser; we never receive your birth details.

For self-reflection and learning. BaZi is a traditional framework for thinking about character and timing, not a prediction of events.
