QWhat information is needed for a BaZi reading?

You need your birth year, month, day, and hour. The birth hour determines the Hour Pillar, a critical component of the chart. If you're unsure of the exact birth hour, you can still get a reading with just the date, though precision will be somewhat reduced.

QWhy does true solar time matter?

BaZi uses the Hour Pillar to determine chart structure. True solar time adjusts for your birth longitude, ensuring the Hour Pillar is accurate rather than relying on standard timezone. Tideris automatically applies true solar time correction.

QHow do I read Five Elements preferences?

Your favorable elements depend on whether your Day Master is strong or weak. A strong Day Master benefits from controlling/draining elements; a weak one needs support. The detailed reading explains your specific Five Elements balance and practical life suggestions.

QHow is BaZi different from other tools?

BaZi reveals your overall life blueprint — personality, fortune trends, and life stages — based on fixed birth data. Liuyao answers specific event questions, Qimen analyzes timing and strategy, Synastry compares two people's compatibility. They complement each other.

QHow is AI interpretation different from traditional charting?

The charting process (Four Pillars arrangement, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Ten Gods determination) is algorithmic and follows traditional rules exactly. The interpretation is generated by AI, explaining what each combination means in everyday language. Best used as a self-understanding reference; for major decisions, always combine with real-world judgment.

BaZi Relationship Analysis

The relationship analysis extracts emotional and marriage-related information from your BaZi chart. For men, the Wealth star represents the spouse; for women, the Officer star does. The Day Branch (Spouse Palace) reflects marriage dynamics and interaction patterns, while Peach Blossom stars indicate romantic opportunities and attraction.

The analysis covers: the state of your Spouse Star (strong or weak, its position, whether it's combined or clashed), how your Day Branch relates to other Branches, active and quiet periods for romance through Luck Pillars, and your behavioral patterns and emotional needs in intimate relationships.

This is a detailed reading feature that requires a completed BaZi chart. For analyzing compatibility between two people, try the Synastry feature instead.
