1. What a Full Reading Covers
A complete zi wei dou shu reading walks through all 12 palaces of your chart, identifies the major and minor stars in each, notes their brightness, and highlights where the Four Transformations land. The goal is a coherent narrative — not just a list of star names — that ties your personality, relationships, career, and wealth patterns together.
2. Generate Your Chart First
Every reading starts with an accurate chart. Use the calculator on the homepage with your exact birth date, time, and gender to generate your 12-palace layout, then come back here (or to any of the palace and star guide pages) to interpret what you see.
3. Reading Priority Order
1. Life Palace (core self) → 2. Spouse Palace (relationships) → 3. Career Palace (work) → 4. Wealth Palace (money) → 5. Wellbeing Palace (inner life). Reading in this order builds from the center of the chart outward, rather than jumping randomly between palaces.
4. AI-Assisted Personalized Reports (Coming Soon)
A personalized AI-generated narrative reading — one that synthesizes your specific star combinations across all 12 palaces into a single cohesive report — is planned for this calculator. Today's reading works from the static reference content linked throughout this site, matched manually to your specific placements.
