lol... haha... very excited on this new thread...
The basic components in Four Pillars Ba Zi consist of:
* Yin and yang
* 5 elements
* 10 heavenly stems
* 12 earthly branches
* 24 solar periods
* 12 qi phases
* 10 deities
* Some spirits (shen) and killers (sha) aka 'stars'
The most important info needed to do a birthchart reading is the Birth Data. This consists of Birth Year, Month, Day and Time.
As you might have guessed it, the Four Pillars here refers to these 4 pieces of info. Each info is labelled as a pillar thus we have Year pillar, Month pillar, Day pillar and Time pillar.
Each pillar contains a heavenly stem (HS) and an earthly branch (EB) below. Traditionally the chart is written from right to left, therefore a chart for someone born at this moment 4.45pm 12 Oct 2005 will look like this:
