The Branch
子 (Zǐ) is the Earthly Branch of the Rat. It carries Yang Water and governs the double hour 23:00-01:00. In a BaZi chart it can appear in the year, month, day or hour pillar, where it colours that area of life with water energy.
In Your Chart
When the Rat sits in your year pillar it speaks of ancestry and how others first see you; in the month pillar, of career and parents; in the day pillar, of your partner and inner life; in the hour pillar, of children, legacy and later years. Its relationship to your Day Master decides whether it supports or challenges you.
