Your Details

Adds the Hour Pillar to your personal compatibility checks.

We use the recorded local clock time exactly as entered. The current ruleset does not apply birthplace, timezone, DST, longitude, or true-solar-time corrections.

The calculation runs in your browser. Your birth details are not sent to BaZi Days or saved by this calculator.

What you'll get

  • ✓ Recommended dates explicitly marked suitable for marriage (宜嫁娶)
  • ✓ Neutral alternatives kept separate from recommended dates
  • ✓ Dates removed by personal clashes or calendar exclusions, with reasons
  • ✓ A plain-language couple summary, with the rule-based index kept for transparency—not as a success probability

Category comes first, the human-readable conclusion comes next, and the number remains secondary. A high-scoring neutral date can never outrank a date explicitly recommended for marriage.

Planning by year

If you are still deciding which month to target, start with the general annual calendar. Those pages show dates explicitly recommended for marriage before partner-specific BaZi checks are applied. Once you have a realistic window, come back here to personalize it.

Personalized date selection

Why a BaZi wedding date calculator is different from a general auspicious-date list

A Chinese almanac can tell you whether a day is generally marked suitable for marriage. BaZi Days adds a second layer: whether that date also clears the published checks for both partners using the birth information you provide.

The calculator does not claim that one date can guarantee a better marriage. It is a screening and comparison tool: first remove dates that fail the current rules, then keep recommended and neutral dates in separate categories, and only then compare eligible dates.

General almanac layer

Checks whether the traditional calendar explicitly marks the day suitable for marriage and whether a major calendar exclusion applies.

Both-partners layer

Checks the available BaZi branches for each partner against the date, instead of treating every couple as identical.

Practical wedding window

You choose the date range and practical constraints first, so the result is a shortlist of dates you could actually use.

What BaZi Days checks before a date can rank

01 · Eligibility

Marriage suitability first

A date must pass the current hard exclusions. A score cannot rescue a date that the rules already classify as excluded.

02 · Personal checks

Both people are evaluated

The available birth pillars of both partners are checked. Missing birth-hour data reduces coverage rather than being replaced with an invented default hour.

03 · Comparison

Category before score

Recommended dates stay above neutral alternatives. The comparison index only helps order dates inside the rules; it is not a probability of success.

The exact exclusions, point adjustments, weighting, time convention, and known limitations are published in the BaZi Days methodology.

Do you need both birth times?

Both partners' birth dates are required for personalized screening. Birth time is optional in the wedding-date finder: when a reliable time is provided, the Hour Pillar can add another layer of personal coverage; when it is unknown, BaZi Days labels the calculation as limited instead of guessing.

If you want to verify an individual Four Pillars chart first, use the free BaZi chart calculator with birth hour. If you want to compare the two natal charts separately from date selection, use the BaZi compatibility calculator.

Common questions about the BaZi wedding date calculator

What does a BaZi wedding date calculator check?

BaZi Days first checks general Chinese marriage-calendar suitability and major exclusions, then checks the available BaZi branches for both partners against each candidate date. Recommended, neutral, and excluded dates remain separate so a score cannot override an exclusion.

How is this different from choosing a date from a Chinese almanac?

A general Chinese almanac describes whether a day is broadly suitable for marriage. BaZi Days adds a second personalized layer by checking the available birth-profile rules for both partners and keeping the reasons visible.

Does the highest comparison index mean the marriage will be more successful?

No. The index only compares eligible dates under the published BaZi Days rules. It is not a probability, success percentage, scientific measurement, or guarantee of a relationship outcome.

Is birth time required for the BaZi wedding date calculator?

No. Birth dates are required for both partners. A reliable birth time improves calculation coverage by adding the Hour Pillar; when birth time is unknown, BaZi Days leaves the Hour Pillar unavailable instead of guessing a default time.

Can this replace a professional Chinese wedding date-selection consultation?

No. The calculator applies a documented and deliberately limited ruleset. A practitioner may use additional lineage-specific rules, family-member checks, ceremony-hour selection, favorable-element analysis, or contextual judgment that this tool does not claim to reproduce.
