Chinese zodiac
Your Chinese zodiac animal comes from the Earthly Branch of your birth year — one branch out of the four pillars in a full BaZi chart. It's the most recognizable part of Chinese astrology, and the least precise: two people born a decade apart can share an animal and have very little else in common. Start here, then go deeper with your Day Master.
Your animal is only your year pillar
The zodiac animal is one branch of one pillar. Your Day Master, the stem of your day pillar, is calculated from your exact birth date and is generally the more precise stand-in for "you" in BaZi.
