BaZi / Four Pillars of Destiny
BaZi analyzes a person through four pillars: Year, Month, Day, and Hour of birth, mapped to Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches to reveal elemental balance and the Day Master. La So Viet is refining the calculation engine and interpretive evidence.
BaZi shares the same birth profile with Zi Wei — no need to re-enter date, time, and location.
Direct BaZi generation is not yet live — this page introduces the methodology with an illustrative chart, not calculated from personal data.

What Four Pillars look like
The profile below illustrates structural layout — not actual user data and not yet processed by the engine. Click or use Tab + Enter on a pillar to inspect details below.
Day Pillar — Giáp (Yang Wood) / Tý (Yang Water), hidden stem Quý. This is the Day Master: foundational reference point for the entire chart, no Ten Gods assigned to itself.
Comprehensive interaction tables (clash, harmony, harm, penalty) will be displayed once interpretive analysis launches.
Counts only exposed stems (Heavenly Stems) of the 4 pillars in the sample profile — excluding hidden stems and methodological weighting. This is a component count, not a score or ranking.
Luck pillar timeline requires starting age and forward/reverse direction computed by the engine. Excluded from this preview to prevent false inference — will activate once the engine is approved.
