Your chart is the map. The report reads it: what this Day Master means for your work, money and relationships.

How Ava's pillars meet
寅 午 戌 Fire frame
Month, Year and Day branches gather into Fire, the element that shapes Metal.
卯 戌 Hour and Day
The Rabbit and the Dog combine, linking later-life plans with the self.
卯 午 Hour and Year
A mild friction between roots and plans, worth knowing rather than fearing.
Interactions are where a full reading adds the most. Your report explains every one in your chart.

Why we use true solar time
BaZi uses the sun's position at your birthplace, not just the time on the clock. We adjust for your longitude and the time of year, and for daylight saving where it applies. Near the edge of a two-hour block, this can change your hour pillar.
Worked example (fictional sample, Ava Example):
| Clock time | 14 Feb 1990, 07:30, Singapore |
| Longitude correction | −64.6 min |
| Equation of time | −14.6 min |
| True solar time | 06:10 |
| Hour pillar | 己卯 (with clock time, it would wrongly be 庚辰) |
Ava's chart: Year 庚午 · Month 戊寅 · Day 庚戌 · Hour 己卯. Her Day Master is Geng 庚, Yang Metal.
Don't know your birth time?
Tick "I don't know my birth time" and we'll show three pillars. Your Day Master, element balance and luck cycles still give a useful picture. Why the birth hour matters

Questions
FAQ
Is BaZi the same as my Chinese zodiac sign?
No. Your zodiac animal is one of eight characters. BaZi vs the Chinese zodiac
Why does my year pillar differ from my Chinese New Year animal?
The BaZi year starts at Li Chun, around 4 February, not at Chinese New Year.
I was born near midnight. Does it matter?
Yes. Births from 23:00 solar time take the next day's day pillar, so enter your exact time.
Is BaZi accurate?
It describes tendencies and timing, not fixed events. An honest look
