Your own chart, if you want one

The almanac reads birth dates too. Add yours and I will send you your life chart: the years the tradition marks as your strongest, stamped with dates. Leave it blank and you just get the letters.

A handful of letters a year, and one click off at the bottom of every one. Your birth details stay with your chart here; they are never sold or handed on.

Same date, deeper readings

Computed astronomically for 1900–2100 following the rules of China's national calendar standard (GB/T 33661-2017), including true leap months, not an approximation formula. Cross-checked against the Hong Kong Observatory conversion tables. Method and sources on the converter page.
