How To Use The Animal Fortunes
Read the fortune for each one of your Four Pillars.
If you already know your Four Pillars click on the animal name in the table below to go straight to your forecast. If you don’t know your Year Animal, click on your birth year.
For those born in January or very early February, your birth year could be the previous year. Gregorian years don’t match up with Chinese years.
If you don’t know your Four Pillars, or you’re not sure about the cutoff date for your year please ask me.
Within the natal chart or bazi, the position of each pillar is related to a different aspect of your life.
Year Pillar
Has to do with your physical body and what you do with it, ancestors, family traits. In terms of luck the year pillar is said to take the first “hit” of any event, good or bad.
Month Pillar
Relates to career, work environment, training, age mates and peers, siblings, exes and your modus operandi.
Day Pillar
Yourself and your partner; relationship.
Hour Pillar
The innermost you, your children, future, dreams.
Interpretation
The interpretation of elements in a Ba Zi rests on the day stem, therefore, these annual forecasts cannot take into account the dynamic interaction of your particular natal chart, your elemental flow or favorable elements. Do you want to learn more about how to use your BaZi for timing and other purposes? Visit my Services page if you’re ready for a reading.
