FIVE ELEMENTS ASSESSMENT

Calculate the visible Five Element distribution

Enter the date and clock time recorded at the birthplace. The result shows the Four Pillars and how Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water appear across their visible stems and branches.

HOW THE RESULT IS FORMED

Four details that shape the chart.

The year follows Lichun

The year pillar changes at the Beginning of Spring rather than on January 1 or Lunar New Year.

The month follows the solar terms

The month pillar changes with the seasonal divisions of the traditional calendar, not on the first day of a Gregorian or lunar month.

Use the recorded local time

Enter the date and clock time recorded at the birthplace. If the hour is uncertain, leave it out and read the six visible characters instead.

The bars show visible elements

Each visible stem and branch contributes one primary element, making the most prominent parts of the surface pattern easy to see.
