The Chinese Astrology Library
Four Pillars · Day Master · the twelve animals · the five elements
Chinese astrology reads the moment you were born through four pillars of year, month, day and hour, each a pairing of an element and an animal. The guides explain the pieces in plain language; the tools cast your own chart, this year’s animal, the years that clash with yours, and how two charts meet.
