Chien-Ming Wang’s BaZi chart 王建民
Baseball pitcher · New York Yankees · born 31 March 1980, Guanmiao, Tainan, Taiwan · date source: Wikipedia
Western zodiac sign: Aries.
No birth time has been published. The date fixes three of the four pillars; the fourth is one of twelve. Below, everything the date settles is computed, and everything that turns on the hour is cast all twelve ways — without picking one on anyone’s behalf.
In short
Chien-Ming Wang’s day master is Yin Water: the Mist.
Clever and quiet, and deeper than it looks. The day master comes from the day of birth alone; about one person in ten shares it.

What the labels mean
Each pillar is two characters: a stem on top (an element, yin or yang) and a branch below (one of the twelve zodiac animals). The day stem is the day master — the person. The label above each other stem is its ten god (Shi Shen, 十神): what that element is to the day master.
Each animal also hides stems of its own, strongest first: the Monkey hides Yang Metal (庚, Direct Resource), Yang Water (壬, Rob Wealth), Yang Earth (戊, Direct Officer); the Rabbit hides Yin Wood (乙, Eating God); the Rabbit hides Yin Wood (乙, Eating God).
- Direct Resource (Zheng Yin, 正印)
- What produces you, opposite polarity. Straightforward support: what teaches, shelters and backs you.
- Rob Wealth (Jie Cai, 劫财)
- Same element, opposite polarity. A peer who takes rather than shares — the tradition reads it as what draws on your resources through people close to you.
- Direct Officer (Zheng Guan, 正官)
- What controls you, opposite polarity. Authority in its orderly form: office, rule, the structure you fit into.
- Seven Killings (Qi Sha, 七杀)
- What controls you, same polarity. Pressure with nothing softening it: demand, risk, and whatever you answer to whether you chose it or not.
- Eating God (Shi Shen, 食神)
- What you produce, same polarity. Output that comes easily: making, feeding, expressing, without strain.
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yin Water (癸) is the weakest, reaching the ford of heaven. Getting the dragon it moves, and the work of transformation is spirit itself. It does not fret at Fire and Earth, and does not reckon Yang Metal (庚) or Yin Metal (辛). Binding Yang Earth (戊) and seeing Fire, the transformed image is true.
癸水至弱，达于天津，得龙而运，功化斯神，不愁火土，不论庚辛，合戊见火，化象斯真。
Born in a Rabbit month (Mao, 卯), when Wood rules the season. In that season Yin Water is at rest (Xiu, 休): it produced the season and its work is done. (One of five seasonal states, Wang Xiang Xiu Qiu Si, 旺相休囚死, after the San Ming Tong Hui, 三命通會, book 2.)
Day pillar: Water Rabbit (Gui Mao, 癸卯)
The classic San Ming Tong Hui (三命通会) gives each of the sixty day pillars an image, its sound element (Na Yin, 纳音). For this one it is Gold Leaf (金箔金), and it says:
Rings, buttons and bells; likes strong Fire, and autumn.
The original Chinese
环钮钤铎，喜盛火及秋
This is what the book says of every Gui Mao day, not of Chien-Ming Wang. The Gui Mao day pillar › (what the classic says at each birth hour, what the branch holds, and others born on one)
Elements in the six known characters
None of the six is Fire. The hour pillar’s two characters may supply it or may not — that depends on the hour. Hidden stems are not counted here.
All twelve hours, cast one by one
Of the twelve hours, 4 read strong and 8 weak (strong: the Rat, Monkey, Rooster, Pig hours). Strength, and the useful element that follows from it, depend on the hour — the date alone cannot settle them.
| Hour | Solar time | Hour pillar | Its ten god | Three tests | Strength | Favoured |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rat (子) | 00–01 | 壬子Water Rat | Rob Wealth (劫财) | out of season rooted backed | strong | Wood, Fire, Earth |

Each row is exactly what the full calculator would say for a birth in that hour. Strength comes from three tests: in season (De Ling, 得令) — born in the season of the day master’s own element; rooted (De Di, 得地) — the same element hidden in a branch; backed (De Shi, 得势) — as much support around it as drain. Two of three reads strong. The favoured elements come from support and restrain (Fu Yi, 扶抑): a strong day master wants draining, a weak one wants support. There are three other methods for the useful element — climate (Tiao Hou, 调候), bridging (Tong Guan, 通關) and disease and cure (Bing Yao, 病藥) — each from its own text; see the useful god page. Hours are solar time at the birthplace, so a clock time needs correcting first; and a birth after 23:00 falls in the late Rat hour, where the two schools disagree about whether the day has turned.
Chien-Ming Wang’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 15 of the 2nd month, Metal Monkey year (庚申年二月十五). Its weights: year 0.8 liang, month 0.7 liang, day 1.0 liang — 2.5 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 3.1 liang to 4.1 liang.
Bone weighing is a folk almanac sum over the calendar positions of the year, month, day and hour — not the elements, and not the chart above. How heavy is heavy? The tables and the spread ›
And yours?
You have your own birth time, so your chart needs no table of twelve — all four pillars, corrected to true solar time with the timezone actually in force where and when you were born.
About this page
This page computes; it does not interpret. The birth date is public and its source is linked; the birth time is not, so the hour pillar and everything that depends on it are set out all twelve ways.
Nothing here claims that anyone is who they are because of a chart, and nothing here forecasts years, health or lifespan for anyone living.
