What it is

Year, month, day, hour

BaZi — the Eight Characters, or Four Pillars of Destiny — is a cornerstone of Chinese metaphysics. Your moment of birth fixes four pairs of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, eight characters in all, each carrying one of the five elements.

On Fatelore the chart is computed precisely from your birth datetime. The AI reads the balance of elements — what's strong, what's missing, how they pull on each other — and renders it as plain insight about temperament and timing, not jargon.
