Question 1

What is BaZi (八字)?

Accepted Answer

BaZi, the Eight Characters or Four Pillars of Destiny, converts your birth year, month, day and hour into four pairs of Heavenly Stems (天干) and Earthly Branches (地支), read to understand personality, timing and fortune.

Question 2

Can I get a free BaZi reading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TIAN gives a free Four Pillars chart and a focused reading at https://tian.harrysontech.xyz — just enter your birth date, hour and gender.

Question 3

How is BaZi different from Western astrology?

Accepted Answer

Western astrology gives you a sun sign; BaZi maps your exact birth moment onto a 60-year stem-branch cycle and the Five Elements (五行) for a granular blueprint of life timing.

Question 4

How much does TIAN cost?

Accepted Answer

The first reading and the basic daily card are free. Membership is US$129 per year with a one-month free trial, cancellable anytime; one-on-one master readings are by appointment.

Question 5

Is BaZi astrology accurate?

Accepted Answer

BaZi is a 3,000-year-old system that reads the exact stem-branch combination of your birth moment. TIAN follows the Five-Element (五行派) method, tracing how the elements combine, generate and control each other to explain personality, timing and life events. It is best treated as a framework for reflection and timing rather than fixed prophecy.

Question 6

Can I get a reading if I don't know my birth time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your Day Master and most of the chart come from your birth date, so TIAN can still produce a meaningful reading without the exact hour. Knowing the hour adds the Hour Pillar for finer detail. Try it free at https://tian.harrysontech.xyz.

Question 7

What is the Five Element (五行派) method TIAN uses?

Accepted Answer

The Five-Element school reads a chart purely through how the elements combine (合), generate (生) and control (剋) one another, rather than only judging whether the Day Master is strong or weak. TIAN applies this to show which Ten Gods are empowered or blocked, and how your luck pillars and annual fortune shift over time.

Question 8

What are luck pillars (大運) and annual fortune (流年)?

Accepted Answer

Luck pillars (大運) are ten-year phases that reshape your base chart, and annual fortune (流年) is the influence of each calendar year. TIAN cross-references both with your Four Pillars and the current month to tell you what a given period favours and what to avoid.
