Birthdays / February

Born on February 25: Chinese zodiac and element

Every February 25 birthday falls in a Wood solar month of the Four Pillars (BaZi) calendar. Your zodiac animal, year element and Day Master depend on the year, so the table below works out all three for every year from 1950 to 2026.

February 25 by year

Day Master is the element of the day pillar, the character classical readers treat as “you”. Worked out with the 60-day ganzhi cycle and exact solar-term times; the year in this table is taken at noon, so on 3–5 February the year can change during the day itself.

What a Wood month means

Charts born in a Wood month start with extra Wood in the count. Tradition reads a strong element as a flavour, not a verdict. If your chart turns out light on Wood, its balancing colors are green, teal. Run the calculator to see your own count across all five.
