CosmicTao calculates the Four Pillars from birth date, time, place, and longitude, then organizes Day Master, Ten Gods, Five Elements, hidden stems, and true solar time in one chart.
If your birth time is uncertain, start with the closest known time and treat hour-pillar changes as a point to review.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bazi birth chart?
Bazi turns your birth year, month, day, and hour into four stem-branch pillars. The chart is then read through the Day Master, Five Elements, Ten Gods, hidden stems, and timing cycles.
Is the Bazi calculator on CosmicTao free?
Yes. You can generate the chart for free, then look at the Day Master, Five Elements, Ten Gods, hidden stems, and chart balance before deciding whether to continue.
What if I do not know my exact birth time?
Use the closest known time first. If the birth time is near a boundary between two hours, note that the hour pillar may need a second check later.
Why does true solar time matter?
If you know the birthplace, longitude affects local solar time. True solar time helps confirm whether the hour pillar may change, especially near hour boundaries.
What do the Day Master, Five Elements, and Ten Gods show?
The Day Master is the stem of your day pillar. The Five Elements show the overall balance in the chart. The Ten Gods describe how the other stems and branches relate to the Day Master.
Can I use Bazi for compatibility?
Yes. Bazi compatibility usually looks at Six Harmonies, Three Harmonies, Six Clashes, and Three Penalties, along with whether two charts complement each other.
What do the paid reports add?
The paid reports place luck pillars, annual cycles, and monthly timing into the chart so you can read the same structure at a deeper stage level.
