Tai Tzu-ying’s BaZi chart 戴资颖
Badminton player · former world No. 1 · born 20 June 1994, Kaohsiung, Taiwan · date source: Wikipedia
Western zodiac sign: Gemini.
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
Tai Tzu-ying’s day master is Yin Fire: the Candle.
Courteous and steady, and stronger 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 Dog hides Yang Earth (戊, Hurting Officer), Yin Metal (辛, Indirect Wealth), Yin Fire (丁, Friend); the Horse hides Yin Fire (丁, Friend), Yin Earth (己, Eating God); the Ox hides Yin Earth (己, Eating God), Yin Water (癸, Seven Killings), Yin Metal (辛, Indirect Wealth).
- Direct Resource (Zheng Yin, 正印)
- What produces you, opposite polarity. Straightforward support: what teaches, shelters and backs you.
- Hurting Officer (Shang Guan, 伤官)
- What you produce, opposite polarity. Output with an edge on it. The name means it injures the Direct Officer (正官), which is why the tradition reads it as talent that does not sit well with authority.
- Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai, 偏财)
- What you control, same polarity. Wealth that comes sideways rather than by salary — the uneven kind.
- Friend (Bi Jian, 比肩)
- Same element, same polarity as you. A peer: someone standing where you stand, competing for the same thing and equally able to share the load.
- Direct Wealth (Zheng Cai, 正财)
- What you control, opposite polarity. Wealth held steadily — earned, kept, accounted for.
- Eating God (Shi Shen, 食神)
- What you produce, same polarity. Output that comes easily: making, feeding, expressing, without strain.
- 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.
Day master
What the classic Di Tian Sui (滴天髓) says of this stem, word for word
Yin Fire (丁) is soft within, its inner nature bright and blending. Embracing Yin Wood (乙) it is filial, binding Yang Water (壬) it is loyal. Strong, it is not fierce; declining, it is not spent. If it has a true mother, it can take autumn or winter.
丁火柔中，内性昭融，抱乙而孝，合壬而忠，旺而不烈，衰而不穷，如有嫡母，可秋可冬。
Born in a Horse month (Wu, 午), when Fire rules the season. In that season Yin Fire is thriving (Wang, 旺): the season is its own. (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: Fire Ox (Ding Chou, 丁丑)
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 Water in the Ravine (涧下水), and it says:
Water that does not flow, where it is clear; likes Metal, and summer.
The original Chinese
水之不流清澈处，喜金及夏
This is what the book says of every Ding Chou day, not of Tai Tzu-ying. The Ding Chou 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 Water. 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
In all twelve hours the Yin Fire day master reads strong. Whatever the hour, the support-and-restrain method favours Earth, Metal, Water — the date alone settles it.

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.
Tai Tzu-ying’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 12 of the 5th month, Wood Dog year (甲戌年五月十二). Its weights: year 1.5 liang, month 0.5 liang, day 1.7 liang — 3.7 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 4.3 liang to 5.3 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.
