The 4 Pillars Calculator...


This little gadget helps you to calculate the 4 pillars of a Chinese Horoscope for any birthdate. We did hesitate to put the 4 pillars calculator online, because in certain cases it doesn't work correctly.

So therefore, please, pay attention to the following notes:
  • If a birthhour is between 23:00 Uhr und 00:00 Uhr, you have to use the date of the following day to get a correct result.
  • The astronomical time is not part of this calculator. If you know the astronomical time, make sure to reduce the birthhour accordingly and if the bithday has been in a light saving period you have to reduce the birthtime by 1 hour.  


Explanations:

  • + and - indicate Yang (+) and Yin (-)
