Chart

Cast the chart first.

A clock reading is not a chart. 10:00 in Berlin and 10:00 in Beijing are different hours of the sun, and the difference can move a pillar. The engine converts civil time into true solar time for your birth longitude — equation of time included — and casts the four pillars from that.

How the chart is used

The engine reads the day master and the balance of the five elements, determines which element a person of that chart is short of, then raises candidate characters carrying that element and drops the ones feeding the unfavourable elements — before any name is scored. Every filtered name keeps its reason.

What this reading is, and is not.

  • The favourable element is a contested idea inside Chinese astrology. The engine states the school it follows, so a reader who follows a different one can disagree with the specific step rather than the whole result.
  • It classifies a moment; it does not predict anything about the person born in it. Nothing here is a forecast.
  • The chart is one input to a name, not a verdict on it. It is reported separately from the score on the name itself.

The studio takes this chart, draws given names from 3,692 characters, screens them against 621 sound-alike traps and 1,144,226 real names, then scores each one with the reason for every deduction.
