Zoe Tay’s BaZi chart 郑惠玉
Actor · born 10 January 1968, Singapore · date source: Wikipedia
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
Zoe Tay’s day master is Yin Earth: the Garden.
Patient and big-hearted: the ground other things grow from. 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 Goat hides Yin Earth (己, Friend), Yin Fire (丁, Indirect Resource), Yin Wood (乙, Seven Killings); the Ox hides Yin Earth (己, Friend), Yin Water (癸, Indirect Wealth), Yin Metal (辛, Eating God); the Rabbit hides Yin Wood (乙, Seven Killings).
- Indirect Resource (Pian Yin, 偏印)
- What produces you, same polarity. Support of an indirect kind — the tradition treats it as nourishment that can also crowd out the Eating God (食神).
- 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.
- 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.
- Indirect Wealth (Pian Cai, 偏财)
- What you control, same polarity. Wealth that comes sideways rather than by salary — the uneven kind.
- 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 Earth (己) is low and damp, centred, upright, storing and hiding. It does not fret at Wood in plenty nor fear Water gone wild. With little Fire the Fire is dimmed; with much Metal the Metal shines. If things are to flourish, it should be helped and supported.
己土卑湿，中正蓄藏，不愁木盛，不畏水狂，火少火晦，金多金光，若要物旺，宜助宜帮。
Born in an Ox month (Chou, 丑), when Earth rules the season. In that season Yin Earth 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.)
Elements in the six known characters
None of the six is Metal. 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 Earth day master reads strong. Whatever the hour, the support-and-restrain method favours Metal, Water, Wood — 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.
Zoe Tay’s bone weight (Cheng Gu, 称骨)
Lunar date: day 11 of the 12th month, Fire Goat year (丁未年腊月十一). Its weights: year 0.5 liang, month 0.5 liang, day 0.9 liang — 1.9 liang before the hour. Over the twelve hours that makes 2.5 liang to 3.5 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.
