Your birth details. Your own chart.

BaZi can omit the Hour Pillar when time is unknown. Zi Wei needs a birth-time window; do not guess it.
Before interpretation: check the input, then the calculation, then the meaning.

COMMON QUESTIONS
A clearer way into
Chinese astrology.
What is Zi Wei Dou Shu?
Zi Wei Dou Shu, also called Purple Star Astrology, is a traditional Chinese charting system. It uses birth date, birth time, and a traditional calculation method to arrange life domains and stars into a 12-palace chart.
Is Zi Wei Dou Shu the same as the Chinese zodiac?
No. The Chinese zodiac uses a birth year animal. Zi Wei Dou Shu uses the date and time of birth to build a fuller palace chart and its timing cycles.
Can I use a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart for career or money decisions?
Use it as a reflective prompt alongside real-world evidence, your budget, professional advice, and your own judgment. It cannot predict income, promotions, or investment outcomes.
Why does birth time matter for a Zi Wei Dou Shu calculator?
Traditional calculation uses two-hour birth windows. The selected window anchors the palace layout, which is why an exact recorded time is preferable when available.
What is a 10-year luck cycle in Zi Wei Dou Shu?
It is a traditional timing layer that assigns successive decade ranges to the palace structure. Ziheng treats it as a way to organize reflection and planning, not a fixed forecast.
