I'm always confused whether I'm born in the year of the boar or dog.As indicated by your free BaZi Element report, my month and year pillars read as follows: - month = geng yin (+metal tiger) year = xin hai (-metal pig). As compared with other BaZi reports obtained elsewhere which show: - month = ji chou (-earth ox) year = geng xu (+metal dog). I've readthe statement that this is because your reading is based on lunar calendar and hence, the monthly pillar is different. In my case why is the yearly pillar also different.I was told that for BaZi reading, the year should begin on 4 or 5 February (depending onleap year) as the beginning of a new year (i.e. li chun = beginning of spring) and not considering the first day of the new lunar calendar as the new year. Is that true? In addition, I would appreciate it if you could clarify when should the lunar calendar be used and when the solar calendar be used. Are there any differences in application for BaZi reading? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
