ziwei-reading

Where it starts

The reading starts from the life palace, the major stars in it and their brightness, the opposite palace and the trine.

The four transformations are treated as the chart's centre of gravity rather than as a verdict: a 化忌 marks where attention and friction collect, not that something will go wrong there.

An empty palace borrows from its opposite

An empty palace is read through its opposite rather than as an absence. No major star in a palace says that the strength of that matter comes from across the chart, not that the matter is missing from your life.

It says which tradition it follows

The report states that it follows one tradition, and that others place certain stars and transformations differently. Without that sentence a reader takes one lineage's answer as the only one, and has no way to judge a different arrangement when they meet it elsewhere.

The ink-wash page

The single-page ink-wash HTML is produced only when asked for, and the model contributes data only — the layout is fixed by the template, so the same data produces the same page every time.

What it does not do

It does not cast a chart — that is ziwei-chart. No BaZi, no synastry, no annual or decade forecasting, and no dated prediction.
