Choosing a destiny tool

Can I cast a chart for someone other than myself?

Yes — that is what Cast a Chart is for. Your own charts are already set up when you first sign in, so this tool is for everyone else: a partner, a parent, a child, a friend, someone you have just met. Enter their birth details, look at the five charts, and save the profile only if you want to keep it. Casting is free and unlimited.

Are these tools free?

Calculating charts and reading the almanac are completely free and unlimited, and checking an existing name is free too. Coins are only spent on generated output: new name suggestions and the birth-hour estimate.

What if I do not know my birth time?

You can still use every tool, but the hour-dependent parts stay blank: no Hour Pillar, no rising sign, no Purple Star palaces. The Birth Hour Finder asks about your appearance, temperament and life pattern and compares your answers against all twelve two-hour branches to name the most likely one.

What is the difference between the almanac and a personal chart reading?

The almanac describes the day itself, and it is the same day for everyone. A personal chart reading uses your own birth details and is unique to you. A day the almanac marks broadly auspicious can still clash with your own chart, so the two are meant to be read together.

Why does a name need to match a birth chart?

A name works best when its elements supply what the chart is short of, so stroke-count numbers alone are not enough. Two names can score identically on the Five Grids while only one feeds the element the chart actually needs.
