I don’t know my birth time

Time basisClocks follow your time zone’s standard meridian, so the Sun at your birthplace can run minutes ahead of or behind the clock. Longitude correction fixes that offset; true solar time also adds the seasonal equation of time (±16 min). Rat-hour rule (23:00–00:59)Only matters if you were born between 23:00 and 23:59. Under the late rule the Day pillar stays on the same day and the hour stem follows the next day. Most modern practitioners use the early Rat-hour rule.

Why does birth time need correcting? ▾

Solar time, not clock time. In BaZi the hour pillar, and the day pillar near midnight, follow where the Sun actually was. Clock time is set for a whole time zone, so at your birthplace the Sun may cross the meridian earlier or later than clock noon. We use the longitude of your birthplace to correct for that, and can also add the equation of time (from −14 min in February to +16 min in November).

Daylight saving time is taken from your browser’s time zone database for the birth date, so summer-time births are converted to standard time automatically.

Whichever basis you pick, the “Pillars under each time basis” panel shows every combination side by side. If they differ, choose the one closest to the time on your birth certificate.

About animal sign fortunes

Your animal sign (tti in Korean, your Chinese zodiac sign) comes from the branch of your year pillar: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog or Pig. This page reads how your sign meets the current year and shows the sign compatibility that is a favourite topic in Korea.

How it is calculated

Fate Hall changes the animal sign at the Beginning of Spring, the start of the BaZi year, rather than at Lunar New Year, and explains the difference on the page. The year’s reading looks at whether your branch combines with the year’s branch in a Three or Six Harmony, clashes with it, or falls under the traditional Korean "three disaster years" (samjae). The table of years shows every sign with its five-element year, so you can see which Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water version of your sign you are.

The branch relationships are explained in Clashes and Combinations, and the twelve animals in The Twelve Earthly Branches.
