八字 (Ba Zi)

八字 (Ba Zi), or the Four Pillars of Destiny, is a Chinese astrology system that analyzes a person’s birth time—year, month, day, and hour—to reveal insights about their personality, relationships, career, and life patterns. Each pillar consists of a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, representing elemental energies and zodiac signs that interact dynamically. By examining these interactions, practitioners can assess strengths, challenges, and compatibility, providing guidance for personal growth and decision-making. Ba Zi offers a holistic view rooted in ancient wisdom, emphasizing balance and harmony between energies throughout one’s life journey.
