Leonardo DiCaprio’s BaZi chart: Bing Fire Day Master

Leonardo DiCaprio is american actor, born on 1974-11-11. Teen stardom, then a long working partnership with Scorsese, then an Oscar in 2016 after four previous nominations. The chart below uses the three pillars a birth date can support — year, month and day — because Leonardo DiCaprio’s birth time is not part of the public record.

The Day Master: Bing Fire (yang)

Bing is the sun: undimmed, unsubtle, and impossible to keep in a room. The tradition reads Bing as expansive, direct and generous with energy, the Day Master most likely to warm a whole gathering without trying. Bing charts tend to be visible — they are seen before they speak, and their enthusiasm is genuinely contagious rather than performed. The shadow is exposure. A sun that never sets burns through its own fuel, and Bing-born people can overcommit publicly, then find no shaded place to recover. The classics also warn about a certain impatience with anything slow or indirect, which reads as charm at twenty and as bluntness at fifty. The remedy is rhythm: deliberate periods out of view, and the discipline of finishing what the enthusiasm started before the next bright idea arrives.

Five element balance

Wood49.7%
Fire14.1%
Earth12.1%
Metal0.0%
Water24.1%

Wood leads at 49.7% and Metal is the thinnest strand at 0.0%. Wood is growth and direction: planning, expansion, the reach upward. In a chart it reads as initiative and a certain stubborn hopefulness — the element that starts things and expects them to keep growing. The model counts visible stems, hidden stems inside each branch at main, middle and residual weights, a small credit for the branch itself, an extra multiplier for the month branch, and a seasonal multiplier — the exact coefficients are on the method page. These percentages measure weighted symbolic presence. They are not personality scores, and a low number is not a deficiency.

Strong Day Master. Support outweighs drain here, so the tradition treats this as a chart with energy to spare. The advice attached to that is never 'more support' but 'somewhere to put it': output, work, expression, a project with a deadline.

Season: Winter month (Hai Pig)

The month pillar falls in the Water season — from Li Dong in early November through the Pig, Rat and Ox months. Water is in season and weighted most heavily. Charts born in winter carry a default inwardness: reflection, storage, strategy, and a preference for depth over display. Fire is at its weakest here, which the tradition reads as warmth that has to be tended deliberately rather than assumed, and as a real dependence on a few close sources of it.

Read against the winter month specifically, Fire is out of season and at its weakest, while Water holds the season. That is the tension this chart is built around: a Bing Fire Day Master operating in a month that rewards Water, which is why the balance below points where it does.

The other two pillars

The year pillar 甲寅 is the tradition’s marker for inherited circumstance — the world someone arrived into rather than the one they built. Its stem reads as indirect resource: intuitive learning — unconventional support, the unexpected mentor. The month pillar 乙亥 is the one the tradition weights most heavily, because it carries the season. Its stem reads as direct resource: study and backing — credentials, patience, support that arrives on time. The hidden stems inside each branch — 甲, 丙, 戊 in the year branch, 壬, 甲 in the month branch and 戊, 乙, 癸 in the day branch — are what give those pillars their texture rather than a single tone.

What this page is not saying

This is a cultural reading of a published birth date, not a claim about Leonardo DiCaprio as a person, and not a prediction. The birth time is unknown, so a quarter of the chart is missing and the element balance would shift if it were added. The paragraphs above describe the archetype the tradition attaches to these pillars. Whether any of it describes an actual human being is not something a chart can settle — and the tradition’s better writers say so themselves.
