How we calculate

We run the same birth date, time and place through saju (Ziping Four Pillars) and through Zi Wei Dou Shu separately, and tell you only what both point to.

From input to result

  1. We take your birth date, time and place

    The longitude of the birthplace sets true solar time; that year's solar terms set the month boundaries. Daylight saving and past standard-time changes follow tzdata as it is.

  2. We calculate the saju

    We build the four pillars from stems and branches, then read the ten gods, the useful god, the shinsal, and the ten-year luck cycles.

  3. We calculate the Zi Wei chart

    We fix the life palace, place the major stars across the twelve palaces, then read the four transformations and the ten-year limits.

  4. Only the overlap becomes a verdict

    The grade is the two calculations added together. What only one side says is not raised to a verdict — it drops to 'for reference'.

What we don't say

The numbers on screen are counted ones only, like how many cards and videos were actually made today.

What the AI does

The calculation and the grade come from a rule engine (code). AI (Gemini) is used in two places only.

The AI does not produce a grade or a date.
