The Four Pillars, Day Master and Five Element distribution form the personal baseline. If the birth hour is missing, hour-dependent conclusions are down-weighted rather than filled with generic copy.

Using your birth date and time as the anchor, map how the 2026 annual pillar meets your Four Pillars chart—from the year's central theme to five life areas and every monthly rise and dip.

Quick entry
Examples — leave spaces between each part:
Month names work at any length — Feb, Febr or February all read the same. An all-digit date is read the way your device writes dates, and we always show you how we read it before charting. Write the year first (2001 02 03) if you want no ambiguity at all. Male / female / man / woman work as well as x / y.
Prefer not to share your city or do not need location precision? Use none / 无 for the birth place. Coordinates, timezone, and true-solar-time correction will be omitted.
If you do not know the birth time, use 6666 in place of the time. We will estimate it as 12:00 and treat hour-dependent conclusions as provisional.
What this page gives you
Enter your exact birth date, time and place to see your 2026 annual score and main theme, then compare five life areas and the rise and fall across all 12 months. Every result is tied to this chart.
This page keeps the same address year after year and shows the real revision date when its annual data, calculation notes or page content materially change, so saved and shared links survive the year change.
It does not sort people into twelve birth-year groups. It places the timing signal of 2026 into your complete Four Pillars chart and measures where the year supports, drains or changes the pace of the structure you already have.
BaZi, also called the Four Pillars, builds a personal chart from the year, month, day and hour of birth. The year pillar supplies generational context, the month pillar carries season and social climate, the day pillar defines the Day Master, and the hour pillar adds finer timing. A personal annual forecast reads those positions together with Five Element balance, favorable and unfavorable tendencies, and the current Luck Pillar. A birth year alone is not enough evidence for a personal conclusion.
In 2026, the annual pillar interacts with both the natal chart and the Luck Pillar already in effect. The same fire-heavy timing can provide momentum to one chart and amplify exhaustion in another. This page calculates an annual score and five life-area scores first, then unfolds the result into a 12-month curve. Peaks, dips and transitions therefore come from the current chart rather than a generic horoscope paragraph.

LIVE SCORING ENGINE · FICTIONAL SAMPLE
This curve is calculated by the production annual scoring engine from a fixed fictional chart. The vertical scale stays at 0–100, so small month-to-month differences are not exaggerated for drama. Enter your birth details and it is replaced with your own curve.

01
The Four Pillars, Day Master and Five Element distribution form the personal baseline. If the birth hour is missing, hour-dependent conclusions are down-weighted rather than filled with generic copy.
02
The 2026 annual timing is compared with the natal structure and current Luck Pillar to identify which life areas receive support and which are more easily depleted.
03
A year is not a straight line. Monthly scores help locate relative windows for action, observation and adjustment; they do not promise that a specific event must happen.
The chart shows how one deterministic scoring method expands an annual reading into monthly rhythm. The fictional sample explains the product shape only; important decisions still require real-world evidence and qualified professional advice.
How to use this page
A personal annual forecast takes about two minutes to generate. Here is what to enter and how to read the annual score, five life areas and 12-month curve.
01
The date is required; the hour is optional but sharpens everything that depends on it. If you were born far from your time zone’s meridian, open the advanced options and switch on local mean time.
02
The big number is your 2026 as a whole. Under it, five life areas are scored separately and compared with last year — the gap between them tells you more than the number itself.
03
The 12-month curve shows where the year lifts and where it dips. Mark the two peaks: those are the windows to schedule anything that needs momentum behind it.
04
Before trusting anything about 2026, read the anchors from last year — you lived through those, so you can judge them yourself. If they land, the full almanac opens March onward, month by month.
How it is calculated
Every score on this page comes from a deterministic calculation — the same birth details always produce the same numbers. The text only explains the numbers; it never changes the conclusion.
1
Your birth date and time convert to year, month, day and hour pillars, with an optional longitude correction based on your birth longitude.
2
The 2026 Bing Wu pillar is read against your chart — which element it feeds, which it drains, and how it interacts with your current luck cycle.
3
Each of the twelve months is scored separately across five life areas, which is where the energy curve and your best and most delicate months come from.

Questions
Annual forecasting uses the solar-term calendar, so the annual pillar changes at Li Chun in early February rather than at Chinese New Year or January 1. The calculator applies that boundary automatically.
It helps but it is not required. Without a birth hour the chart runs on three pillars and hour-dependent judgements are weighted down. If your forecast feels consistently off, an inaccurate birth hour is the most common cause.
