Your Zodiac Archetype Profile

You are not just a Dragon.

Your birth year gave you an animal. Your birth day gave you an element. Crossed, they make an archetype that is yours alone.

Which one are you?

Date of birth only. No birth hour, no time zone, nothing to look up.

Your Chinese Zodiac Sign × Your Day Master

Your year — your Chinese zodiac sign
What the world sees. One of the twelve Chinese zodiac animals, shared with everyone born in your year. It shapes your reputation, your timing, the story people tell about you before you speak.
Your day — the Day Master
What you actually are. The element of the day you were born, and in BaZi the single most important character in your chart. Two Dragons with different Day Masters are not remotely the same person.

What's inside

Written for your pairing specifically.

  1. Your archetype — the name of your pairing, and what it means
  2. The person inside — your Day Master, in plain language
  3. The coat and the clash — how the animal you wear and the element you are pull against each other
  4. Where you came from — the three stars of your first world, and what they trained into you
  5. Your starting ground — ages 1–15, and what that stage left behind
  6. Your compass — four classical stars from your year branch: what attracts you, what moves you, where you rest, how you carry weight
  7. Your two small moves — two specific things to do this week, and why they work for your chart in particular
  8. A door left open — what your other six characters hold, and the questions only timing can answer

FAQ

What is my Chinese zodiac animal?

Enter your birth date in the lookup above — your animal comes from your birth year (with the solar-calendar February boundary handled correctly), and your Day Master from your birth day. Together they name your archetype.

How do I find my Chinese zodiac sign?

Enter your birth date in the lookup above. Your Chinese zodiac sign is set by your birth year — one of twelve animals — and this page uses the solar calendar, so births near the February boundary get the correct animal rather than the one the Lunar New Year date implies.

What is my Chinese zodiac element?

Your birth year carries an element as well as an animal — the "Fire" in Fire Horse. Enter your birth date in the lookup above: it shows your animal, then adds the element of your birth day — your Day Master — which in BaZi describes you far more closely than the year element does.

Do I need my birth hour?

No. This profile is built from your birth date alone — the year branch and the day stem. That's why it takes one minute and why you can look up your parents, your partner, or a friend without asking them anything awkward. (A full Personal Reading does use the hour, and goes far deeper.)

How is this different from a zodiac horoscope?

A zodiac horoscope reads one character out of your four pillars, shared with roughly a twelfth of everyone alive. This reads two — and the second one, the Day Master, is the character BaZi treats as you.

When do I get it?

Immediately. You pay, the PDF downloads on the next page, and the link stays valid in your receipt email — so if you lose the file you can download it again any time.

My birthday is in late January or early February.

Then read the note that appears with your result. The BaZi year turns at 立春 (Beginning of Spring, around 4 February), not at Lunar New Year — so your real animal may not be the one you grew up being told. This page already calculates it correctly; for births within a day of the boundary, the exact hour and place can still tip it, and a full reading verifies that by hand.

Can I buy one for someone else?

Yes — look up their birth date, buy the profile, and put their name on the cover at checkout. It downloads as a PDF you can forward or print.

Your Chinese zodiac sign comes from your birth year — and the BaZi year turns at 立春 (around 4 February), not at Lunar New Year, so late-January and early-February birthdays are often told the wrong animal. The lookup above calculates it correctly, then crosses it with your birth day to name your archetype — one of 120.
