WHAT PAI PAN CALCULATES

What is Zi Wei Dou Shu charting (排盘)?

Pai Pan uses a birth moment and birthplace to calculate a Ming Pan: 14 main stars and supporting stars distributed across 12 life palaces. A complete reading examines the Life and Body Palaces, Four Transformations, connected palaces, formations, 10-year Da Xian and annual Liu Nian.

Life Palace (命宫)
Core patterns, strengths and decision habits.
Spouse Palace (夫妻宫)
Relationship dynamics, not a promised partner or date.
Wealth + Career (财帛 · 官禄)
Resource habits and work environments, not guaranteed income.
Four Transformations (四化)
Lu · Quan · Ke · Ji: ease, agency, visibility and friction.
Da Xian + Liu Nian (大限 · 流年)
Changing 10-year and annual themes, not guaranteed events.

What is Zi Wei Dou Shu (Purple Star Astrology)?

Zi Wei Dou Shu is a traditional Chinese astrology system that places main stars, supporting stars and the Four Transformations across 12 palaces from a birth moment. It is used as a symbolic framework for reflecting on identity, relationships, work, resources and timing.

How accurate is the chart calculation?

The placement calculation is deterministic: the same birth details and settings produce the same chart. Time-dependent placements rely on the time and place entered. We correct for birthplace longitude and the timezone in effect on the birth date. Interpretations are traditional reflective guidance, not verified predictions.

What if I do not know my exact birth time?

Choose “Time unknown” to cast provisionally. Time-dependent placements should be rechecked when a reliable birth record becomes available.

Why does birthplace matter?

The birth city determines longitude and historical timezone. Those values correct the recorded time, especially for births near a two-hour boundary.

How is Zi Wei Dou Shu different from BaZi?

Both begin with birth data, but their structures differ. Zi Wei Dou Shu reads 14 main stars across 12 palaces; BaZi reads the Four Pillars through Five Elements and Ten Gods. They can be compared, but their terms and decade-cycle calculations should not be conflated.

Classical Foundation

Our 15-text reference library documents the traditional terminology and associations used across Zi Wei and BaZi. The reading itself is modern editorial interpretation, not a line-by-line translation or proof.
