Chart details and reading notes

Moment-timing chart

Build a basic Qi Men Dun Jia chart.

Choose a moment and a scene. The result shows the nine palaces, gates, stars, spirits, key pillars, and the chart relationships used for that scene.

Use the chart evidence alongside the actual facts of your situation. The free tool offers a scene-based reading; it does not compare individual offers or interpret a written question.

Check a departure direction

Enter your intended departure time and the initial bearing toward your destination. The reading shows the door, star and timing conditions for every direction covered by your measurement.

Read a specific purpose

These two traditional methods use different references. Select the purpose that describes this reading, then confirm the chart time and who is approaching whom. You can leave the interaction unestablished to see both conditional views.

Using your result

Check the day and hour pillars, solar term, and Dun/Ju first. Then find the palaces used for your selected scene. The planning posture is a chart reference, not permission to act or a promised outcome.

Edit the form and build again to replace the displayed result. This tool does not save charts or compare past runs; keep your own note of the inputs and observations.

Chart symbols do not replace real-world evidence, consent, or medical, legal, financial and safety judgement.
