Wood
Growth, planning, creativity, and the force that reaches outward.
The system calculates the year, month, day, and hour pillars.
Four pillars. Eight characters.
Ten stems. Twelve branches.
The chart offers clues. Judgment stays with you.
The Day Master gives the first doorway into the chart.
The Five Elements show where energy concentrates.
Da Yun timing shows how the surrounding terrain changes.
Chart basics
BaZi, also called Four Pillars, builds a chart from the heavenly stems and earthly branches of the birth year, month, day, and hour. Mystic Mirror shows the checkable structure first: pillars, elements, Ten Gods, and timing cycles, then translates those signals into readable self-observation.
Often used to observe early environment, family context, and the outer climate around the chart.
Closely tied to solar terms and often read for chart pattern, social role, and career rhythm.
The day stem is the Day Master, the self anchor of the chart; the day branch is also a relationship observation point.
Completes the four pillars and helps observe later development, long-range wishes, and latent talent.
Chart basics
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water are the core language of BaZi. Elements generate, control, concentrate, weaken, and circulate; the point is not a fixed verdict, but seeing which forces are prominent and which need attention.
Growth, planning, creativity, and the force that reaches outward.
Expression, warmth, visibility, and the bright quality of action.
Support, stability, integration, and the ability to make things land.
Boundaries, judgment, refinement, and clear principles in execution.
Flow, thinking, adaptation, and the ability to hold information in uncertainty.
Chart basics
A complete BaZi reading separates natal structure, Five Element balance, Ten-God relationships, and timing cycles. Each layer is an observation lens to compare with lived experience, not a replacement for judgment.
Day Master, day branch, Ten Gods, and element emphasis show common expression patterns and inner motives.
Month pillar, chart pattern, current Da Yun, and pillar relationships show strengths, pressure, and timing.
Wealth stars and related Ten-God signals can be read as patterns of resource use, investment, and security.
Element concentration can suggest where stress gathers. This is daily awareness, not health judgment.
Chart basics
Submit reliable birth details, then read in this order: chart overview, Four Pillars, Five Elements, Ten Gods, and Da Yun. When you want to continue, bring the chart into Mira.
Use Gregorian date and time. Birthplace or longitude makes the true-solar-time note more complete.
Gender only sets Da Yun direction. It is not a value judgment or personality label.
Different tools may use standard time or true solar time. This page states the current method for comparison.
Start with Chart Overview, then expand Four Pillars, Five Elements, Ten Gods, Spirit Stars, Da Yun, and timing details.
Chart basics
BaZi is formed from the stems and branches of birth year, month, day, and hour. The month pillar follows solar terms, the hour pillar follows birth time, and birth location can add a true-solar-time method note.
Birth time affects the hour pillar and timing details such as Da Yun start age. If the time is uncertain, read year, month, and day first, and treat hour-pillar conclusions as provisional.
BaZi ultimately uses the stem-branch and solar-term system. This page starts from Gregorian birth time to reduce leap-month and calendar-conversion errors.
The result includes Chart Overview, Four Pillars, Five Element counts, Ten Gods, Spirit Stars, Da Yun, annual timing, and monthly timing. These describe patterns and rhythms, not fixed outcomes.
The basic chart works without sign-up. If you take the result into Mira, Mystic Mirror carries the necessary birth details and chart summary so you do not have to repeat them.
Patterns, not predictions.
