Enter your birth date to find your element in Chinese and Korean astrology, see how the five elements are spread across your chart, and see how 2027 meets your element. Free, no sign-up.
Chinese astrology uses five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), not the four elements of Western astrology.
Enter your birth date. The calculator builds your Four Pillars (Saju, or Bazi) chart with the same engine as our Saju calculator, then shows the element of your day master, how the five elements are spread across your chart, and the color, season, direction, and taste that the classical tables pair with your element. Birth time is optional; without it the hour pillar is left out instead of guessed.
In the Four Pillars system, "your element" usually means the element of your day master: the first character of the day you were born. It is not the element of your birth year. A year name such as "Fire Goat" describes the year itself, and everyone born in that year shares it.
The five elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. In the generating cycle, Wood feeds Fire, Fire feeds Earth, Earth feeds Metal, Metal feeds Water, Water feeds Wood. In the controlling cycle, Wood holds Earth in check, Fire holds Metal in check, Earth holds Water in check, Metal holds Wood in check, Water holds Fire in check.
The 2027 saju year is 丁未. Its first character 丁 belongs to Fire, and its second character 未, the Goat, belongs to Earth. The saju year begins at Lichun, the start of spring, on February 4, 2027, not on January 1 or at Lunar New Year.
The Goat in the daily lucky wallpaper →Each of the eight characters in your chart adds weight to one element, and the elements held inside each earthly branch add a smaller weight. The percentages show each element's share of that total, rounded to whole numbers. They describe the structure of the chart; they are not a prediction.
