Understand the energy patterns shaping your year with personalized month-by-month guidance rooted in BaZi wisdom and Five Elements timing.
In BaZi (Four Pillars of Destiny), your fortune is not static. Each year carries its own heavenly stem and earthly branch -- an "annual pillar" -- that interacts with your birth chart in specific ways. When this annual energy meets your personal 10-year luck cycle, the result is a unique pattern of opportunities, challenges, and timing windows that is yours alone.
Think of it this way: your birth chart is your foundation, your 10-year luck cycle is the current chapter of your life story, and the annual pillar is the specific plot that unfolds within that chapter.
The annual pillar determines which of your Five Elements are strengthened or weakened, which relationships in your chart are activated, and where the flow of Qi points you toward growth or caution. This is why two people born in the same year can have entirely different experiences -- their birth charts respond to the annual energy differently.

Below is a condensed example of what a yearly reading looks like. This sample is for a fictional Yang Wood Day Master born in a Dragon year, reading for 2026 (Year of the Yang Fire Horse).
Year of the Yang Fire Horse (Bing Wu) -- Condensed Example
2026 brings Yang Fire energy sitting atop the Horse branch, creating a powerful Fire season for your chart. As a Yang Wood Day Master, Fire is your output element -- this is a year where your ideas, creativity, and personal expression take center stage. Wood feeds Fire naturally, so you'll feel a strong pull to share your talents, launch projects, and step into the spotlight. The key is to direct this expressive energy with purpose rather than scattering it across too many directions.
With Fire dominating, your output and performance elements are strong. This is an excellent year for creative professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone in a role that rewards visibility. Wealth may come through intellectual property, personal branding, or skill-based services rather than traditional investment. Watch for overspending driven by optimism -- Fire energy can make you feel invincible with finances. Best career months: March, June, September.
The Horse branch carries hidden Fire and Earth, activating both your output and wealth stars. For Yang Wood men, this can signal attraction and new romantic interest (wealth star activated). For Yang Wood women, the emphasis on self-expression may mean prioritizing personal goals over partnership. Existing relationships benefit from shared creative pursuits. Communication is warm but direct -- be mindful of bluntness when Fire runs high.
Your strongest months align with Wood and Water energy that supports your Day Master. Challenging months arrive when Metal clashes with your Wood element or when excessive Fire drains your vitality.
This is a condensed sample. Your full reading includes detailed analysis for each of the 12 months.
Beyond monthly detail, your annual reading frames the year through four seasonal phases. Each season carries its own elemental character and strategic focus, helping you pace your energy across the full year.
A time of renewal and planning. Wood energy rises, making this ideal for setting intentions, starting new projects, and planting seeds for the year ahead. Your reading identifies which specific goals align with your chart's spring energy.
A time of action and visibility. Fire energy peaks, bringing momentum and public attention. This is when your plans gain traction and your efforts become visible. Your reading highlights where to push forward and where to let things breathe.
A time of harvest and reflection. Metal energy sharpens clarity and discernment. This is the season to reap results, evaluate progress, and refine your approach. Your reading shows which areas are ripe for completion.
A time of rest and preparation. Water energy encourages introspection, learning, and strategic thinking. This is when you recharge and lay groundwork for the next cycle. Your reading reveals where stillness serves you best.
Discover the specific energy patterns, timing windows, and guidance tailored to your unique birth chart for the year ahead.
Get Your Annual ReadingMost people approach each year with the same strategy regardless of the energetic environment. An annual fortune reading gives you something most people lack: a sense of timing. Knowing when to push and when to pause, when the current supports you and when it does not, is the difference between effort that flows and effort that stalls.
BaZi practitioners have used annual pillar analysis for centuries to advise on business decisions, marriage timing, career transitions, and health focus areas. Our AI-powered readings make this ancient practice accessible, detailed, and personalized to your exact birth chart.
