This table was computed just now — not read off a printed calendar, but worked out from the hour the month actually turns.

1,000+ people have had their chart read here so far.

To the hour
A month does not turn on a calendar date. If you were born near the turn of one, this is where your chart is decided
Local sun time
The sun rises at a different hour in every place; your hour pillar is set from the sun, not from the clock
Lunar & leap months
Enter a lunar birthday as it is — nothing has to be converted first, leap months included

Today's luck box

Give it a shake: today's hexagram comes out in a line, and luck comes in.

What your luck opens

Each reading spends one luck. Luck is not a price. It cannot be exchanged for money and is not for sale. It gathers when you drop by, and grows when you share it.

No account, no price before you've seen us answer. All three are computed.

Three steps

  1. 01

    Enter your birth date and time

    Solar or lunar dates, leap months included. If you don't know the hour, you can leave it out.

  2. 02

    The four pillars are computed

    Year, month, day and hour pillars, set from the hour each month actually turns and from the sun where you were born.

  3. 03

    Read the interpretation

    Element balance, strength of the day master, the Ten Gods, and the decade cycles — laid out to be read, not decoded.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between the free reading and a report?+

The free reading shows your four pillars, element balance and decade-cycle table. A report adds interpretation by area — money, work, relationships — the year-by-year flow, and what to actually do.

What if I don't know my birth time?+

The chart is built from the year, month and day pillars. Temperament and the decade cycles read fine without the hour; a report can work through estimating it.

Can I use a lunar birthday?+

Yes. New moons are computed directly and leap months are determined by the classical rule, so a lunar date — including one in a leap month — goes in as it is.

How is the I Ching different from Four Pillars?+

Four Pillars reads a person from the moment of birth; the I Ching reads a situation from the moment of asking. No birth date is needed. The judgment and line texts come from a fixed table written from the classical meaning — the model interprets, it never invents them.

What happens to my data?+

The free reading uses only the birth date and time. Contact details given with an order are used only to deliver it. Consultation transcripts are deleted after 30 days.
