What it is

Ziwei Doushu is an old Chinese way of reading a life. Your birth year, month, day and hour set out a chart, with fourteen main stars spread across twelve palaces.

Ba Zi reads the elements you were born with. Ziwei divides your life into twelve rooms, so you can ask about one room at a time.
