属狗 · 戌
Born in the year of the Dog? Here are the Dog years, each counted from the Start of Spring (立春), and how the Dog's branch, Xu (戌), combines and clashes with the other eleven signs.
What these words mean
- BaZi (八字): Chinese "four pillars" astrology. The moment you were born is written as four pillars, for the year, the month, the day and the hour.
- Pillar: a pair of symbols: a stem written on top and a branch below it. Your year pillar is the pair for your year of birth, and your day pillar the pair for your day of birth. Four pillars make eight symbols, which is what BaZi means: "eight characters".
- Branch (地支, Earthly Branch): the bottom symbol of a pillar. There are twelve, each with an animal sign. The branch of your year pillar is your zodiac animal.
- Hidden stems (藏干): every branch holds one to three stems inside it. The strongest is called its principal qi (本气). The others are its middle qi and residual qi.
- The Start of Spring (立春): the solar term, around February 4, when the BaZi year begins. The solar terms are 24 fixed points in the sun's yearly path.
- Six combination (六合): two branches that pair up and pull together, a close bond.
- Three-way combination (三合): three branches, four places apart on the circle of twelve, that work together toward one element.
- Clash (冲): two branches directly opposite each other, pulling in opposite directions. It brings movement and upheaval.
- Harm (害): two branches that hurt each other quietly, through misunderstandings more than open conflict.
- Punishment (刑): branches that wear on each other, bringing friction and disputes.
- Break (破): two branches that damage each other on a small scale.

属狗的年份 Years of the Dog
以立春为界：年初立春之前出生的人属上一个生肖。点进任一年份，可看该年立春交节的准确时刻。Each year starts at the Start of Spring, not on January 1 or at Chinese New Year. If you were born early in the year, before the Start of Spring, you belong to the previous sign. Open any year for the exact moment.

两种换年法 Two ways to start the year
民俗生肖多以春节换，命理年柱以立春换。两者通常相差几天到两三个星期，生在这段日子里的人，家里说的属相和命盘上的会不一样。

两种说法都有人用，不是谁对谁错：家里人说属相多按春节，算八字一律按立春。本站排盘以立春为准。
Most families change the animal sign at Chinese New Year. A BaZi chart changes the year pillar at the Start of Spring (立春), the solar term that falls around February 4. The two dates are a few days to about three weeks apart, so someone born between them is one animal to the family and another on the chart. Both ways are in use, and neither is wrong: families mostly go by Chinese New Year, and BaZi always goes by the Start of Spring. This site casts every chart from the Start of Spring.
