Frequently Asked Questions

Why do different sites give me different animals?

Boundary handling. Popular sites use January 1 or Lunar New Year; the Four Pillars (BaZi) tradition uses the solar term Lichun. If you were born between January 1 and mid-February, the convention decides your animal.

What's my element?

Each year also carries one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) in yin or yang polarity — your result shows both, as your Year Pillar.
