Why use a chart instead of a fortune teller?

Final Checklist before you calculate:

  1. Do you have your exact birth hour? (8 PM vs 8:01 PM? The Chinese hour spans 2 hours. Check if your time falls within the hour boundary.)
  2. Are you using a tool that accounts for the solar month change (around 4th-5th of every Gregorian month)?
  3. Are you prepared to see both the bright stars and the "Sha" (kill stars) without fear?

2. Testing Accuracy for Skeptics

  1. Limited Interpretation: Free calculators might provide a basic interpretation, but more detailed insights might require a paid version or consultation with an expert.
  2. Limited Features: Free calculators might not offer advanced features, such as predictive astrology or compatibility analysis.
