Editorial method
Every published wiki page has to say what a source can prove, what FluxAstro actually calculates, and where interpretation must stop.
Editorial review: 2026-09-17 · Reviewed by FluxAstro · Editorial method
Three layers that stay separate
Calculable facts are palace positions, star placements, and transformations produced from complete birth data and a declared engine configuration.
Traditional wording is recorded as a received framework. It can explain how a school talks about a palace or star. It cannot prove scientific validity or guarantee an outcome.
Modern editorial notes explain FluxAstro product behaviour, learning order, and safety limits. They are not extra chart evidence.
Languages and publication bar
English and Simplified Chinese are written as independent pages. Machine-translated stubs are not published. A page enters search and the sidebar only after both locales have a definition, sources, and a check against the live chart rules.
What this wiki will not do
It will not invent birth-hour palaces, treat one star as a whole-life verdict, or extend FluxAstro into BaZi, tarot, or other systems that the product does not calculate.
Medical, legal, and financial decisions need the corresponding professional evidence. Chart symbolism is not a substitute.
Common mistakes
- Using a screenshot from another app as proof that FluxAstro calculated the same chart.
- Quoting a classic as if it validated a modern personality claim.
Frequently asked questions
Why do two calculators disagree?
They may use different year boundaries, leap-month rules, true-solar-time handling, or transformation tables. Compare the declared settings before judging either chart.
Does a classical citation make a reading true?
No. A citation shows where a traditional wording comes from. It does not turn that wording into a testable prediction.
When should a page stay unpublished?
When the calculation rule is unchecked, the localisation is incomplete, or the text would imply an outcome the chart cannot support.
Sources and editorial basis
- 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.
- 3. Ziwei Doushu Quanshu (received editions)
Used to cross-check palace names, star lists, and traditional wording. A received text can record a tradition; it cannot prove scientific validity or guarantee an event.
