Method examples
These fixed examples expose how time-zone handling, solar terms, unknown time and true solar time affect a calculated chart before interpretation begins.
← Calculation methodologyExample 1
year
丙午
month
戊戌
day
甲戌
hour
庚午
Lesson. A complete chart contains all four pillars and uses Jia Wood as the Day Master.
Boundary. The result demonstrates the current engine output. It is not a claim of independent calendar certification.
Example 2
year
丙午
month
戊戌
day
甲戌
hour
—
Lesson. The Hour Pillar is omitted rather than guessed, and the interpretation must carry that uncertainty.
Boundary. A day-boundary alternative is shown separately when the selected rule changes the day at 23:00.
Example 3
year
乙巳
month
己丑
day
戊申
hour
壬戌
Lesson. Civil-year labels and zodiac marketing years can differ from the BaZi Year Pillar.
Boundary. Small ephemeris or time-zone differences matter most close to the exact transition.
Example 4
year
辛巳
month
甲午
day
庚戌
hour
壬午
Lesson. The source is stored with the result so a precision claim remains auditable.
Boundary. Minute and second-level offsets are accepted when sourced; uncertainty in the original clock time remains visible.
Example 5
year
丙午
month
甲午
day
庚申
hour
壬午
Lesson. Longitude and seasonal solar variation can move clock time enough to change a boundary result.
Boundary. True solar time is an explicit interpretive setting because BaZi schools differ in whether to use it.
