Zi Wei Dou Shu: chart structure and a learning path
This root page is the system overview and learning path. Free chart generation, “how to read a chart”, and star-by-star notes live on child pages or in the chart tool.

What it is
What is Zi Wei Dou Shu?
Zi Wei Dou Shu is a Chinese natal-chart method that turns a birth moment into twelve palaces and a field of stars. FluxAstro uses it to calculate a chart you can inspect, not to issue a verdict about a whole life.

How to read a chart
How to read a Zi Wei chart
Reading starts with a question and a palace, not with the most famous star on the page. FluxAstro can show the calculated facts; this page shows the order in which to look at them.

Twelve palaces
The twelve palaces
The twelve palaces are the chart’s map of domains. Learn the names, then learn that those names travel around a fixed branch ring after the Life Palace is placed.

Fourteen major stars
The fourteen major stars
A major star is a condition that occupies a palace. It is not a complete person. FluxAstro’s report dictionary describes tendencies and cautions in that same spirit.

San fang si zheng
San fang si zheng
San fang si zheng is geometry on the chart, not a lucky charm. It tells you which four palaces must be named before a topic is treated as fully seen.

How to use this wiki
- The wiki defines concepts and relationships. It does not generate a personal chart by itself.
- A source can support only the calculation fact or traditional wording it actually contains.
- FluxAstro tools verify palace, star, and transformation facts first, then allow a bounded reading.
What a formal wiki page includes
- A standard name, common aliases, a direct definition, and the conditions required to calculate or apply it.
- A reading order, common mistakes, related entries, sources, and the matching tool.
- Pages that have not been checked and localised do not enter search or the sidebar.
How to check a wiki claim
- Confirm the system and the exact concept before mixing in symbolism.
- Separate calculable input from traditional interpretation, then recalculate with the linked tool.
- If birth data or settings are missing, stay on the definition layer and do not fill in the chart.
Complete one learning path first
Zi Wei Dou Shu has its own data structure, calculation settings, and reading grammar. Build a shared language inside this system before comparing it with BaZi, Western astrology, or any other method. Ten Gods, planetary aspects, and palace transformations do not translate one-for-one.
Safety boundary
Traditional symbolism is a conditional reading frame. It is not medical, legal, or financial advice, and a single star or palace cannot replace the full chart, the declared settings, and the timing layer.

- 1. FluxAstro chart rule snapshot
Each generated report stores the engine settings that produced it. Compare those settings before treating two charts as the same calculation.
- 2. iztro Zi Wei Dou Shu engine
Supports only what the current FluxAstro configuration actually calculates: palace placement, major-star arrangements, and the recorded year-boundary, leap-month, and transformation settings. It does not prove that any traditional school is uniquely correct.
