Read on to discover how Bazi analysis can guide your decision, ensuring the best fit for your child’s learning style and future success.
Bazi: What it is & how it works
Bazi, also known as the Eight Characters or Four Pillars of Destiny, is a form of Chinese astrology that looks into the unique set of characteristics surrounding the date and hour of one’s birth, so as to interpret people, situations and objects in one’s life.
Looking into the year, month, day and hour of one’s birth, Bazi can reveal an individual’s innate personality, health conditions, family ties, romantic relationships, etc. It also reflects an individual’s destiny, which explains why Bazi is often labelled as a destiny code.
Understanding your child’s Bazi can help you to gain greater insight into your child’s personality and suitable learning styles, and guide you towards choosing the right primary school for him/her. It’s not rocket science, so for hands-on parents, read on to learn the ropes to reading your child’s Bazi!

General traits of children born in 2019
Most parents are familiar with the 12 zodiac signs, which correspond to birth years. In Bazi analysis, the birth year is one of the four pillars, which represents the “seed” or foundation of a person’s life. It can also provide insights into a child’s general traits.
If your child was born in 2019, they belong either to the Earth Dog (戊戌) or Earth Pig (己亥) zodiac sign, reflecting distinct personalities and strengths.
Children born under the Dog (戌) sign are naturally responsible, loyal, and protective, acting as steadfast guardians among their peers. Their resilience and determination help them navigate challenges while offering reliability in friendships. Influenced by the Wu Earth (戊) element, they reflect the strength and introspection of a towering mountain—persistent, stable, and resistant to sudden change.
Children born under the Pig (亥) sign are intelligent yet naturally passive. They demonstrate strong mental agility and adaptability as part of the Water element. Cautious and rational, these children would carefully weigh decisions before taking action. Their logical thinking and numeracy skills make them well-suited for financial management, reflecting their analytical mindset and preference for stability.
General advice for children born in 2019
Earth Dog (戊戌) children thrive with structured, step-by-step learning that nurtures resilience rather than enforcing rigid control. Bedtime storytelling fosters values and a love for learning, especially during early transitions. Given their steadfast nature—like the Great Wall—long-term planning ensures they build strong foundations and grow with confidence.
Healthwise, children born in the Earth Dog year tend to have a hot body constitution, making them prone to fever and gastrointestinal issues, especially when under pressure.
On the other hand, parents of Earth Pig (己亥) children should encourage your child to take ownership of his/her learning. This can help your child develop self-motivation and problem-solving skills rather than relying on direct instructions. Open-ended questions and exploratory tasks which can foster creativity and independent thinking are also recommended.
Children born in the Earth Pig year are prone to digestive issues such as indigestion or a sensitive stomach. Parents should help your child maintain a balanced diet and mindful eating habits to support his/her overall well-being.
D-I-Y Bazi analysis for your child
Every child is unique, so understanding their personality and learning style is key to choosing the right primary school. Beyond general traits and advice for children born in 2019, you can take a more personalised approach by DIY-ing your child’s Bazi analysis.
To do so, you’d need to identify your child’s Day Master (日主), the core element that shapes his/her personality and strengths. Here’s how to do it:
- Visit Way Fengshui’s Free Bazi Calculator. Feel free to sign up for an account to retain each Bazi profile that you generate.
- At the “Create new profile” page, input your child’s name, gender, birth date and birth time accurately to generate his/her Bazi profile.
- Look for the box labeled “Day日主” in the generated Bazi profile.
The first character in the top row under “Day日主” is your child’s Day Master. Please check below for a full list of the Day Master profiles and their corresponding personality, learning style, ideal school environment, plus (bonus!) schools for thought!
