Charts and the sky from the planets’ computed positions: natal, transits and progressions, Hellenistic and Vedic techniques, the Chinese four pillars, fixed stars, mansions and hours, read in period sources.
Four Pillars
Counts the four pillars of a birth from the solar terms on the Sun model: the year from 立春, the months from the twelve 節, the unbroken sixty-day count, the double hours, in local solar time by default. The rules, the Ten Gods, hidden stems, nayin and luck pillars follow 三命通會 (Ming) and the Yuanhai Ziping of 1600; the solar terms agree with the Hong Kong Observatory to the minute.
