How to Calculate My BAZI? - A Mystilink Guide to Uncovering Your Elemental Blueprint
IMPORTANT NOTICE: THIS BLOG CONTAINS VERY COMPLEX LOGIC OF BAZI CALCULATING, IF YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT SELF BAZI CHART AND READING OF BAZI, IT IS NOT NECESSARY FOR YOU CONTINUE YOUR READING OF THIS BLOG. YOU CAN JUST SKIP TO ANY BAZI CALCULATOR IN THE INTERNET OR OURS.
Before any mystical math begins, jot down the four data points that anchor your cosmic fingerprint:
Coordinate |
What We Need |
Why It Matters |
---|---|---|
Birth Date (Gregorian) |
Year • Month • Day |
Sets the 60-year Stem-Branch cycle in motion |
Birth Time |
24-hour clock, local time |
Pinpoints the Hour Pillar (your “inner voice”) |
Birth Place |
City & Longitude |
Adjusts for time-zone and true solar time |
Summer-Time Flag |
Were clocks advanced that day? |
Prevents “double-hour” errors |
Mystilink Tip: Our order page auto-detects time-zone & DST so you can’t miss a beat.
Contrary to popular belief, BaZi is solar (not lunar). We anchor your chart to Lìchūn 立春—the “Start of Spring” solar term around 4 February. If you were born before Lìchūn, you still belong to the previous Stem-Branch year.
Compute the Sun’s longitude for your birth date.
Check when it next reaches 315° (Lìchūn).
If that moment falls after your birth, decrement the Year Pillar by one.
Every year spins through a 60-count loop of Heavenly Stems (10) and Earthly Branches (12):
Jia-Zi → Yi-Chou → Bing-Yin … Gui-Hai → back to Jia-Zi
To find yours, add the number of years since 1984 (Jia-Zi) and take the remainder modulo 60. Match the remainder to the list—voilà, your Year Pillar is born.
Each 30-degree solar slice births a Month Branch:
Solar Term (approx.) |
Branch |
Internal Season |
---|---|---|
Lìchūn (315°) |
Yín |
Early spring |
Jīngzhé (345°) |
Mǎo |
Mid-spring |
… |
… |
… |
Dàhán (285°) |
Chǒu |
Deep winter |
Once the Branch is set, rotate the Heavenly Stem using this mnemonic:
Year Stem Jia/Bing/Geng/Ren → Month Stem starts with Bing
Year Stem Yi/Ding/Xin/Gui → Month Stem starts with Ding
…then march forward one Stem per month.
Pick a reference day (e.g., 1 Jan 1900 = Wu-Xu) and count the days to your birth. (Total Days + Reference Index) mod 60 gives your Day Stem-Branch.
Why so picky? The Day Pillar rules personal vitality and matches directly with crystal remedies.
Convert local clock time to True Solar Time (longitude ÷ 15°).
Drop the minutes—BaZi uses 2-hour “double hours.”
Map the resulting block:
Solar Time Window |
Branch |
---|---|
23:00 – 00:59 |
Zi |
01:00 – 02:59 |
Chou |
… |
… |
21:00 – 22:59 |
Hai |
The Hour Stem cycles in 5-pair jumps from the Day Stem (e.g., Jia Day → Jia Hour at Zi).
Stack the four pillars:
Year | Month | Day | Hour
Stem | Stem | Stem | Stem
Branch | Branch| Branch| Branch
Peek beneath each Branch to reveal its Hidden Stems, tally the Five-Element scores, and you have the raw material for destiny analysis—plus the shopping list for your next bracelet.
