The century age old practice of Chinese Astrology has its roots in China 2,500 BC. In fact, the most popular form of Chinese Astrology readings is based on the Four Pillars of Destiny which originated and was popularized during the Tang Dynasty in China.

The Four Pillars of Destiny also known as BaZi (Four Characters) is extremely complex and difficult for the lay person to grasp deeply. To the uninitiated, Chinese Astrology simply focuses on the characteristics of the animals in the Chinese Zodiac based on one's birth year. The twelve animals in the Chinese Zodiac comprises in running order, the rat, the ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. But a Chinese Astrology reading or BaZi analysis conducted by an expert would go much deeper than explaining the general characteristics of the animal signs. Each BaZi reading or analysis will delve into not only one's birth year but also the month, day, and hour.

The core of a person’s traits and characteristic as deciphered from a person’s BaZi birth chart interprets the day stem instead of the year branch in predicting a person's career, wealth, health and relationship. It forms the foundation of the Four Pillars approach which incorporates also the stems and branches of the year, month, day and hour of birth.

This is why a comprehensive BaZi reading or analysis that applies to the Four Pillars of Destiny method needs to takes into account the hour, day, month, and year of birth of a person. It is much more detailed and accurate than a generic reading based solely on birth year. It is not a field of study that anyone can take. This esoteric art pose to be quite complex for the general populace to comprehend. As such, embracing the intricacies of the Four Pillars of Destiny method and mastering the art of BaZi will take years or even a life time. Therefore, a person who wants to learn and master Chinese Astrology needs a lot of patience and passion for unconventional knowledge or metaphysical art and sciences. It will teach you to look beyond the basic animal signs associated with the year of birth but the whole BaZi birth chart when understanding one's true character and destiny.
