How the annual reading is made

What the annual reading needs, what it calculates for the year, which facts it may cite, how the text is planned, written and checked, and what it cannot tell you.

Overview

The annual reading follows your year month by month through your Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu and Western charts. The facts are calculated first without AI; the AI plans the reading around them, and every source it cites must be one the calculation produced.

Open the annual reading

What it needs

  • It needs a birth time known to the minute and all three charts; an unreliable time or a missing chart stops it before any writing.
  • The saved birth settings, including daylight-saving handling, are used as they are.
  • You can ask about the year as a whole, one life area or your own question, and add what is happening and what you are deciding.
  • Years from 1900 to 2100 are supported.

What is calculated before any writing

  • The Bazi year and luck-pillar spans on 立春 and the solar terms, the Zi Wei yearly transformations and the Western transits of Mars through Pluto are calculated for the year.
  • Each month is supported by calculated facts, alongside the year-level context.
  • The year runs from 1 January 00:00 to the next 1 January in your time zone.
  • The neighbouring years are calculated for comparison only and may not be cited.

Which facts it may use and how they are cited

  • The reading is supplied with calculated chart facts and their system and time scope.
  • The prompt asks AI to ground chart claims in these facts and distinguish them from your circumstances and interpretation.
  • Source notes let you inspect the calculated context; their presence does not establish that every sentence interprets it correctly.
  • Coverage, timing and interpretation still need judgment. Automated diagnostics are not an accuracy certification.

How the text is written and checked

  • AI writes the reading from the calculated facts and your chosen question.
  • Source references are processed for display, and automated checks record editorial issues as diagnostics rather than rejecting the reading for wording.
  • The current delivery flow does not include a separate AI reviewer or a human review of each report.
  • An empty response, a provider-reported output cutoff or a provider failure triggers a retry within the configured limit. If generation fails, any charged points are refunded.

Saving and follow-up

  • The finished reading is saved and reopens without recalculating or rewriting the original report.
  • You can reopen the saved report and ask follow-up questions from it. Later questions do not rewrite the original report.

How you can check it

  • The charts come from the Bazi, Zi Wei and Western engines, which have published verification summaries.
  • Calculation, source handling, saved reports and retry behavior are covered by the method's own tests. These are our tests, not an independent certification; they do not establish predictive accuracy or the quality of every generated report.

Membership and payment

  • The annual reading requires active membership. Standard members use 65 points per report; the unlimited membership has no per-use point charge. Any charged points are refunded if generation fails.
  • Payment covers the written reading, not a more accurate chart: the charts come from the same calculation as the free chart tools.
  • Current plans, prices and refund terms are on the pricing and terms pages.

Concepts in the Wiki

What it cannot tell you

  • It gives no probabilities and does not predict events.
  • A calendar year spans two Bazi years, and months and stars are chosen by a limited editorial policy rather than listed exhaustively.
  • It does not use solar returns, progressions or the fast transits of the Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus.
  • Friends-palace evidence alone may not support a claim about love or marriage.
  • It makes no medical diagnosis and no claim of a fixed outcome.
