I don’t know my birth time

Time basisClocks follow your time zone’s standard meridian, so the Sun at your birthplace can run minutes ahead of or behind the clock. Longitude correction fixes that offset; true solar time also adds the seasonal equation of time (±16 min). Rat-hour rule (23:00–00:59)Only matters if you were born between 23:00 and 23:59. Most modern practitioners use the early Rat-hour rule.

Why does birth time need correcting? ▾

Solar time, not clock time. In BaZi the hour pillar, and the day pillar near midnight, follow where the Sun actually was. Clock time is set for a whole time zone, so at your birthplace the Sun may cross the meridian earlier or later than clock noon. We use the longitude of your birthplace to correct for that, and can also add the equation of time (from −14 min in February to +16 min in November).

Daylight saving time is taken from your browser’s time zone database for the birth date, so summer-time births are converted to standard time automatically.

Whichever basis you pick, the “Pillars under each time basis” panel shows every combination side by side. If they differ, choose the one closest to the time on your birth certificate.

About the Celtic tree calendar

The Celtic tree calendar divides the year into thirteen lunar months, each linked to a tree of the Ogham alphabet — Birch, Rowan, Ash, Alder, Willow, Hawthorn, Oak, Holly, Hazel, Vine, Ivy, Reed and Elder. This page shows your tree and its traditional qualities.

How it works

Fate Hall finds your tree from your birthday using the thirteen-month dates popularised in the 20th century, and shows the tree’s Ogham letter, its symbolism and the qualities traditionally associated with people born under it.

A note on history

The Ogham letters and their tree names are genuinely ancient, but the thirteen-month calendar was created by the writer Robert Graves in the 1940s. Fate Hall presents it as a modern tradition inspired by Celtic symbolism.

Using it

Many people enjoy their tree as a seasonal symbol — Birch for new beginnings in winter, Oak for strength at midsummer — and it pairs naturally with your birth flower on the birthstone and flower page.
