How to Find Your Chinese Zodiac Element
“What is my Chinese element?” you might be wondering. Your birth date holds the key to the solution. It’s simple to figure out what element you are by looking at the last digit of your birth year and matching it to the element given for that digit.

- Water is your element if you’re in the second or third place.

- Your element is fire if you’re a number 6 or 7.

How to Find Out Your Chinese Zodiac Sign
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig are the 12 animal signs of the Chinese zodiac, which are based on a person’s birth year. This is referred to as the Sheng Xiao of a person (sheng means “the year of birth, xiao means “resemblance).
Your Chinese sign is decided by your birth year, however due to the discrepancy between the lunar calendar (used in China) and the solar Gregorian calendar, it might be difficult to determine for some people. Because the Chinese New Year’s dates change each year, persons born in January or February should pay close attention to their birth date as well as their birth year if they wish to correctly calculate their Chinese sign.

What method do you use to determine your zodiac sign’s element?
Triplicities were more of a seasonal nature in ancient astrology, therefore a season was given the attributes of an element, and the signs connected with that season were assigned to that element.
The following are the seasonal elements of ancient astrology:
- Spring is in the air (wet becoming hot) Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are the air signs.
- Summer is my favorite season (hot becoming dry)
- Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the fire signs.
- Autumn is a wonderful time of year (dry becoming cold)
- Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are all earth signs.
- Winter is here (cold becoming wet)
- Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are all water signs.
The changes in expression across indications of the same element are explained by using seasonal features. By their very nature, all fire signs are scorching and dry. The inclusion of the season’s elemental qualities, on the other hand, causes variances amongst the fire signs. Aries is a Spring sign that is wet (hot and dry, hot and dry), Leo is a midsummer sign that receives a double dosage of hot and dry and is the pure fire sign, and Sagittarius is an Autumnal sign that is colder (hot & dry, cold & dry).
Although these linkages are prevalent in current Western ceremonial magic, reconstructionist neopagan systems such as neodruidism, and Wicca, they are not given much weight in modern astrology.

What is the meaning of my Bazi?
‘BaZi’ means Eight Characters Found in the Four Pillars, where each Pillar has a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch, and is popularly known as the Four Pillars of Destiny.
Most people think of it as a fortune-telling instrument, and they’re not wrong. Because of its ability to anticipate one’s life, BaZi can ‘tell your fortune,’ and it’s quite easy for a seasoned practitioner to tell someone’s calibre and possibilities for success. I’m hesitant to label myself a fortune-teller since it seems like a shallow name for something that is a synthesis of our forefathers’ wisdom spanning hundreds of years.
BaZi, like any other type of ‘fortune-telling,’ can only be done if one can measure time, because we need to know how to estimate time before we can see patterns and cycles. You’re gazing at an ancient calendar every time you look at a BaZi chart. The capacity to anticipate one’s life came from the Chinese sages’ understanding of how this ancient calendar was created. BaZi’s method is based on the solar calendar, which has 24 solar terms, and the sexagenary cycle, which is a Chinese timekeeping system. It is made up of 10 Heavenly Stems and 12 Earthly Branches, both of which are separate time-keeping systems that were later combined to create a perfected version that is more holistic and trustworthy.
We take time measurement for granted because we were born into a world with clocks and GMT timezones. Still, one must keep in mind that there was a time when human society had no idea how long a year, month, week, or even day was. Only because of the cycle visible in the sky and the cosmos was it feasible to measure time. The Big Dipper’s circling was used to measure a year; the moon cycle was used to measure a month; and the earth’s revolution was used to measure a day.
Studying BaZi is similar to studying nature’s rules and how they play out, and the way they play out follows a predictable pattern. This idea enabled the Chinese sages to develop systems for predicting one’s life, and you will find that this is also true for other civilizations’ astrology. Vedic astrology grew as a result of the work of Hindu sages, while Ptolemy’s work on astronomy gave rise to the Western astrology we know today.
