The Five Elements (🪵 Wood, 🔥 Fire, 🌱 Earth, ⚙️ Metal, and 💧 Water) relate to the Chinese zodiacs through a 60-year calendar cycle that pairs each animal sign with a specific base element according to your birth year. Each zodiac animal also has a native or ‘fixed’ element, known as the Earthly branch or ‘Hidden stems’.

Introduction · 引
Most people think their Chinese zodiac sign is based only on their birth year — but that is just one-fourth of the story and who you are.
In BaZi Earthly Branches, your full chart consists of four animal signs, each revealing a different layer of your personality, career, ancestry and destiny.

Grounded, resilient, determined. Meticulous planning, precision and execution — a triad of metal and earth energies that foster stability, strategy and shared success in relationships and business.

Qún · Network
A members' network for those who read life through the five elements. Stay anonymous behind your element and animal — Yin Water Rabbit 癸卯 — or share your name, photo and city. Post stories and questions, support member businesses and opportunities, join chat rooms on global topics, and organise gatherings: local sport, cultural festivals, or simply a call. Members are surfaced by compatibility — trines, six harmonies and complementary day masters.
An account is required — your birth details stay private.

BaZi — 八字, “eight characters” — is a two-thousand-year-old Chinese method of reading a life through the exact season, day and hour of birth. Four pillars, each a heavenly stem over an earthly branch, capture the state of the cosmos at your first breath. Together they describe the raw material you were given: temperament, timing, the people who sharpen you, and the seasons that carry you.
The five elements — Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water — are not decoration. They are a grammar of change. Each generates one and controls another, and your chart is simply the proportion in which you hold them. Too little Water and you burn without rest; too much and you drift. Naming the imbalance is how you begin to correct it — through the work you choose, the places you sit in, the people you keep, and the days you act on.

Your Day Master names your core nature — and the strengths you over-use when under pressure.
時機
Luck pillars and the almanac show when to plant, when to build, and when to rest.
調候
The element you lack becomes a practice: water, movement, colour, direction, season.
合和
Trines, six harmonies and clashes explain who steadies you and who tests you.
