Four pillars
See how birth details become year, month, day and hour positions.
XINAN LIFE BOOK · BaZi structure
Understand your own patterns. Choose your next direction.
Moving forward is not the only choice: sometimes we wait, turn or begin again. BaZi builds four pillars from birth details, then relates elements and Ten Gods through a declared method. Natal structure, life cycles and the selected year offer different lenses. Read their foundations together, with room for your own choices.
Restoring account
What this tool offers
Make the method a readable reference.
Keep structure and relationships in context.
Elements and Ten Gods
Read relationships in context, not isolated words or counts.
Declared strength method
Inspect the method and its judgement. Counts are not strength.
Pattern and supportive roles
See the conditions behind each assessment, including unresolved ones.
Cycles and years
Relate the natal chart to stages without mixing time scales.
Clear methods, grounded reading
Every step has an inspectable basis.
01
Resolve the birth time
Use historical timezone, DST and explicit day boundaries. Unknown times are not invented.
02
Calculate with a fixed engine
lunar-javascript 1.7.7 / iztro 2.6.1: pillars, palaces and stars come from these inputs.
03
Interpret actual relationships
Select positions or stages to inspect related facts and their interpretation. Model judgements name their method.
04
Retain versions and snapshots
Changed details do not overwrite history. Failure releases credit. Cultural interpretation does not guarantee outcomes.
