算法How the day pillar is calculated
Days run in an unbroken 60-day cycle that has never been reset. We count days from the Julian Day Number, the same method our free chart calculator uses: pillar = (JDN + 49) mod 60. January 1, 2000 was Wu Wu (戊午). Births after 11 pm are counted on the next day in some traditions; this calculator uses the calendar date. See methods and sources.
The day pillar is one of four. See your full chart free.
Get your free readingIs the day pillar the same as my Chinese zodiac sign?
No. Your zodiac animal comes from your birth year. Your day pillar comes from your exact birth date and is what BaZi treats as your core self.
What is the most common day pillar?
None. The 60 pillars repeat in a fixed cycle, so each occurs on exactly one day in every 60.
What if I was born near midnight?
Some schools change the day at 11 pm (the start of the Rat hour). If you were born between 11 pm and midnight, check both the calendar day and the next day.
