Annual pillar
Also called: fleeting year, liu nian, liunian
The year pillar (流年, Liú Nián, the 'fleeting year'), the stem-and-branch of the current solar year, read against your chart for the year's flavour. The BaZi year turns at Lì Chūn (~Feb 4), not Jan 1. When its branch clashes or harmonises one of your natal branches, that theme is stirred for the year.
