BaZi turns the exact moment you were born into eight characters — a map of your character, your timing, and the weather of your decades. Free calculators can print the map. We read it: by hand, in plain English, checked twice.
Every chart is four columns — year, month, day, hour — each holding two characters. Your zodiac animal is only the first character of the first column: one eighth of the picture.
Everything our studio studies goes here, lesson by lesson, free to read. No fragments, no bait — the real framework, in plain English.
The Four Pillars of Destiny explained from zero: stems, branches, elements, and why your zodiac sign is only the beginning.
The single most important character in your chart — the one that means “you”. All ten Day Masters, and how to find yours.
Solar terms, not the lunar calendar. True solar time, not the clock. The arithmetic a real chart stands on — and where free calculators cut corners.
The ten roles every character plays around your Day Master — wealth, authority, resource, expression, peers — and the hidden stems below the surface.
The ten-year chapters laid over your chart: which direction they run, when they start, and why timing questions are really luck questions.
The three extra pairs printed beside every classical chart: the Fetal Origin, the Life Palace and the Body Palace — what they are, how each is counted, and why they are footnotes, not the verdict.
The month branch fixes the chart's skeleton — Direct Officer, Seven Killings, Resource, Wealth and the rest — and four methods choose the medicine it needs, worked on two public charts.
The lookup-table stars — Nobleman, Peach Blossom, Travelling Horse, Canopy and the rest — worked on two public charts, plus how two Day Pillars are compared. Footnotes, never a verdict.
Reading the Zi Ping Zhen Quan line by line: the five methods of choosing the Useful God, and the forming, failing and rescue table for all eight Patterns — worked on two public charts.
The chapter On the Rank of the Useful God and Its Pattern: feeling and force, the highest and lowest Patterns, and a transparent checker — worked on the classic's own charts.
The chapter On the Useful God and Climate, and the month-by-month table of the Qiong Tong Bao Jian: what each Day Master needs in each month, and how to check whether a chart has it.
The chapter On the Purity of the Useful God: when the two gods a chart actually uses help each other, when they fight, and when a muddy chart still turns out clear — worked on the classic's own charts.
The whole system on one map — foundations, chart reading, life topics, divination, feng shui, and the classics. Published lessons and the study path, in the open.
More lessons are added as the studio studies — next on the desk: the chapter On How the Four Tombs Are Used, and then the Patterns themselves, one by one. The full path is on the Encyclopedia map.
A written report, made for one person — your chart, your questions. Calculated with true solar time correction, interpreted by a person, delivered as a book-grade PDF in 48–72 hours.
The encyclopedia comes first. Personal readings — one chart, read by hand and written out in full — will be offered from this desk once the foundations are complete. Until then, everything we know is published above, free.
Charts are built on the astronomical calendar the system was designed for — solar terms, true solar time — and cross-checked until the pillars are exact.
A calculator prints characters. A reading weighs them: strength, season, structure, timing. Every report here is written, not generated-and-sent.
A chart is a framework for reflection, not a promise. We do not sell certainty, cures, or guaranteed fortune — and we say so on every page.
