The Pig is the branch 亥 (Hai (Pig)): yin Water, direction Northwest, the 10th month (beginning at Start of Winter), the hour 21:00–23:00. This page is that branch's calendar view — which Gregorian years belong to it, the minute each one begins, and which animals stand in a defined relation to it. For the branch as a position inside a chart — hidden stems, the ten-stem stage table, the five pillars containing it — see the branch page.
Generated from engine v0.14.0, not hand-written; years and lichun instants come from the engine's lichun table.

Each animal recurs twelve times across 144 years, once every twelve. The table gives the most recent cycles with the year pillar and the exact lichun instant (Beijing time) at which each year begins — so "after which date is someone born a Pig" is checkable to the minute.
| Year | Year pillar | Lichun (Beijing time) | Age in 2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1959 | 己亥 (Ji Hai) | 1959-02-04 21:42 | 68 |
| 1971 | 辛亥 (Xin Hai) | 1971-02-04 19:25 | 56 |

| 2019 | 己亥 (Ji Hai) | 2019-02-04 11:14 | 8 |
The next one is 2031 (辛亥, Xin Hai), beginning at lichun on 2031-02-04 08:58.

| This site | The year pillar and the animal change at the instant of lichun, the moment the sun reaches 315° of ecliptic longitude. It falls on 3–5 February and is known to the minute. |
|---|---|
| Most zodiac sites | Change the animal at the lunar new year (the second new moon after the winter solstice). The two conventions disagree for anyone born between 1 January and lichun, and again between lichun and the lunar new year. |
| Consequence | Someone born before lichun on 2026-02-04 still carries the previous year's pillar. If your birthday falls in January or February, use the exact instant rather than the year. |
Fan tai sui ("offending the year") is one of five fixed table relations between an animal and the year branch — own year, clash, punishment, harm, break — and they can stack. This site computes them from those tables, does not read them as fortune, and sells no remedy. Every year between 1924 and 2043 is listed below.

The break partner shown above is also this animal's six-harmony partner. The traditional six-break table overlaps the harmony table on these four branches (Yin-Hai and Si-Shen), and schools disagree on whether a pair that already combines should also be read as breaking. This site does not choose for you: both are printed from their tables, and the divergence is stated here.
The animal and the branch are one character used two ways: as an animal it governs years, as a branch it governs positions. The hidden stems, month, hour, ten-stem stage table and the five pillars containing it are all on the branch page.
Every enumerable component of ba zi has its own page here. Each page is computed by the same engine and can be checked item by item — none of it is a personality table.
