Your BaZi birth monthDragon month (Clear and Bright to Start of Summer)

The Dragon month is the transitional Earth period between spring and summer: moist soil that stores traces of Wood and Water. Those born now tend to absorb a lot and give it shape, and to hold firm in times of change.

May 5 falls near a solar-term boundary, so depending on the year and time of birth it can belong to the Snake month instead. The chart calculator below gives the exact answer.

BaZi (the Four Pillars of Destiny) divides the year into twelve months by the 24 solar terms, and the branch of your birth month sets the season of your chart. May 5 falls in the period of Start of Summer.
