Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Yi Si year in Bazi?+
Yi Si is the stem-branch combination for 2025. In Bazi, every year carries a heavenly stem (here 乙) above an earthly branch (here 巳). This pairing colors the energy of the entire year and modulates how each Day Master and zodiac sign experiences it.
How is the Yi Si year different from the zodiac Year of the Snake?+
The zodiac year names the animal of the branch (巳 = Snake). The Bazi year-pillar names the full stem-branch (乙巳 = Yi Si), which adds the heavenly stem's element to the picture. The zodiac is a slice; the Bazi year is the full pillar.
When does 2025 actually start in the Bazi calendar?+
The Bazi year begins at 立春 (Lichun, the start of spring) — typically around February 4th of the Gregorian year. Anyone born between January 1 and Lichun belongs to the previous Bazi year, even though the Gregorian calendar already says 2025.
Is 2025 a good year for me?+
There is no single answer — 2025 interacts with YOUR birth chart's stems, branches, and current luck cycle. The year's energy can be a tailwind for some and a headwind for others. The personalized reading below explains how 2025 specifically shapes your career, relationships, and timing.
What month is best in 2025?+
Each Day Master has different favorable months based on the Ten God dynamics with each monthly pillar. The 12-month table above shows the pillars; the per-month forecast pages explain timing for each Day Master.
