Zi Wei & Bazi Encyclopedia

Reference entries on the working vocabulary of Chinese chart reading: the major stars of Zi Wei Dou Shu and the Ten Gods of Bazi. Each entry covers what the term is, the temperament it describes, and how it reads for career and relationships — best read alongside your own chart.

The Fourteen Major Stars of Zi Wei Dou Shu

The fourteen major stars are the skeleton of a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart. Whichever one sits in the Life Palace sketches the temperament a person starts from.

The Ten Gods of Bazi

The Ten Gods describe how every other stem and branch relates to the Day Master. They are the working vocabulary of Bazi reading — character, career, wealth and relationships all get named through them.

How the Charts Are Computed

Chart casting is calendar arithmetic, not language generation. These entries explain the split between the calculation layer and the reading layer, the common failure points, and how to verify a chart.

East–West Crossovers

The stars and the Ten Gods, translated into the language of modern personality typing — MBTI-style types and the Enneagram. Two vocabularies that check each other, not replace each other.
