FAQ
Is this the same as Western astrology?
Different system, same instinct. Western astrology maps the sky at your birth; Bazi maps the same moment through the Chinese solar calendar. Both describe tendencies, not verdicts.
Why do you ask where I was born?
Because clock time is not astronomical time. The same "8:30 PM" is a different moment of the year in New York than in Shanghai — and daylight-saving rules have changed over the decades. Most free calculators skip this; your Year and Month pillars depend on it.
What if I don't know my birth time?
Leave it blank — the chart is calculated for noon and the Hour pillar is marked approximate. Year, Month and Day stay exact. Or use the Finger Oracle, which needs no birth data at all.
Do you store anything I type?
No. Every calculation runs in your browser. Your birth date and place are never uploaded, stored, or shared.
Can Bazi tell me if I'll be rich, or who I'll marry?
No — and be wary of anyone who claims it can. Bazi is a mirror for self-reflection. Real decisions deserve real professionals.
Is it really free?
Yes. The Finger Oracle and the Bazi calculator are free, unlimited, and ad-free. Deep written reports are optional and clearly priced.
Bazi is a traditional Chinese metaphysical practice, offered for cultural exploration and self-reflection. Not fate, not prediction, not advice. Please don't make life decisions based on a chart.
