ExploreBefore you begin
Where should I start with a birth chart?
Start with the birth-chart page for BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu. Keep your birth date, recorded local time and birthplace together. The beginner guides explain the terms; the calculator handles the chart inputs.
Which tools are free?
The basic tools and public guides linked here are free to explore. Personal deep readings have their own access terms on the reading page. Choose a calendar, sign or card tool to try a small question first.
What if I only want to ask one question?
Try a one-card or three-card spread, or the I Ching coin-casting tool. The guides explain how the methods differ. A clear question about one situation makes it easier to connect the reading to your own choices.
How should I read celebrity birth charts?
Treat each study as a specific version of a chart and a story. Check the stated birth time and source notes before comparing rising signs or houses; conflicting birth-time versions can produce different charts.
