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: Hr Day Mth Yr HS9 HS6 HS3 HS2 EB9 EB6 EB11 EB10

that is very detailed and most importantly is the balance of the five elements, the strength of the ming.
