- Clear distinction between calculation and symbolism
How it works
From recorded time to a readable chart.
Calculation comes first. Traditional symbolism is added only after the time and calendar work is complete.
Resolve solar time
Historical time-zone rules, longitude and the equation of time produce the corrected moment.

Calculation vs interpretation
Two layers, kept visibly separate.
The chart is computed; the meaning is framed. Energy Archetype keeps those layers labelled so you always know which part is arithmetic and which part is traditional symbolism.
Computed layer
Pillars, true solar time, Five-Phase weighting and Ten Gods are produced by disclosed rules you can audit in the free result.
Interpretive layer
Growth, expression, integration, structure and depth are offered as reflective vocabulary — not as predictions of specific events.
Your boundary
Nothing in a report claims scientific validation, guaranteed outcomes, or medical, legal, fertility, relationship or investment advice.
Optional paid reports
Keep the full interpretation as a private PDF.
One-time purchase, generated from the same calculation you already reviewed for free.

Common questions
Is this a real BaZi / Four Pillars calculation?
It calculates year, month, day and hour pillars using disclosed solar-term and true-solar-time rules. Interpretive schools differ, so the site also states its conventions and limitations.
What if I do not know my birth time?
You can continue without it. The hour pillar and time-sensitive sections will be omitted and the report will label that limitation.
Does the report predict exact events?
No. Timing sections describe traditional themes and planning questions. They do not promise marriage, wealth, illness, pregnancy, career success or any other event.
Is the free result enough to check the chart?
Yes. You see the calculated pillars, Day Master, true solar time and elemental balance before deciding whether to buy a longer interpretation.
