How to Do Your Own Bazi Charts

In ancient China, people would travel far distances to get a Bazi chart and reading.

Bazi is an ancient Chinese art that is believed to predict a person's destiny. It originated in the I-Ching text during the Tang Dynasty. Believers in Bazi think that the universe follows a set of rules and a person's fate is determined by these rules. Centuries ago, Bazi masters needed to read and manually create charts in Chinese, but today there are tools online for creating your own chart.

Things You'll Need

• Bazi calculator software

Instructions

1. Input your birthdate in the Bazi calculator software. There are many programs online that will generate your Bazi chart for free, and this will give you information to determine your Day Master. Your Day Master determines your key qualities and the negative aspects of your personality.

2. Input your time of birth in the software. Some programs ask for a specific time and others accept an estimate. Determining your chart with the specific time is more accurate than the estimate.

3. Fill in any other fields in the calculator, and proceed to generate your chart. Other fields may include your name or gender. If you are familiar with Bazi, you can read your own chart or you can take it to a Bazi master for interpretation.

Tips & Warnings

• It is believed that Bazi influences your choices and prosperity, and knowing the information in the chart will help you improve your destiny through informed decisions.

• Your Day Master is found in the square in the top row, second column from the left.

• If you use a web-based Bazi calculator, do not input bank or other private information into a site you do not trust. A Bazi chart only requires your date and time of birth to generate.
