Monthly reading

A BaZi month does not begin on the 1st — it begins at a solar term. A year is one ring, and this page reads the stretch of it you are standing in: the month's pillar set against your own chart, so you can see what the month is made of rather than what it “means”.

    Have this chart explained to you

    Not sure what Po Jun, a clash month or a weak Day Master means for you? A practitioner reads this chart with you in plain English — what it says, what to watch this year, and the ten-year cycle you are about to enter. BaZi or Zi Wei, whichever chart you calculated. A written reply within 12 hours.

    What a month is, in BaZi

    The twelve BaZi months are fixed by the twelve Jie solar terms — Lichun, Jingzhe, Qingming and so on — so a month runs from roughly the 4th to the 7th of a Gregorian month. Each month has its own stem and branch, produced by the year stem and the month's position in that sequence.

    That pillar is then read against your natal chart in exactly the same way a day is (my daily reading): the month's stem becomes a Ten God relative to your Day Master, its branch clashes or combines with your four branches, and its elements either do or do not appear among your balancing elements.

    What the reading actually contains

    • The month pillar and the solar term that starts it — so you know the real date range.
    • The month's Ten God against your Day Master, and which group it belongs to.
    • Branch relationships with each of your four pillars: clash, combination, harm or none.
    • Element alignment — whether the month carries one of your chart's balancing elements.
    • The luck cycle the month sits inside, since a month reads differently in a good decade than a hard one.

    What it does not do

    It does not forecast events, score the month out of ten, or tell you to sign or not sign something. Every sentence on the result is assembled from the numbers above by fixed rules — there is no language model anywhere in this feature, and no sentence that could not be traced back to a pillar.
