How this works and privacy

Your reading applies consistent traditional rules for the Gregorian calendar, solar terms, stems and branches, ten-year cycles, five-element relationships, common auxiliary stars, and the I Ching. A selected city uses its reference point; “Other city” uses a regional reference point. A more precise birthplace can affect the hour pillar near a traditional two-hour boundary. Mainland China city names follow the Ministry of Civil Affairs' 2023 administrative-division codes, while coordinates and international city data come from GeoNames. Your birth details stay in this browser while the reading is generated. This is folk-cultural content for entertainment and personal reflection.
