Learn the fundamentals of Western astrology, Chinese metaphysics and divination — written clearly for beginners.
Each guide here is written for someone with no background in the subject. That means starting from the vocabulary: what a house actually is, why a Chinese year begins in February, what distinguishes a tarot suit from a tarot rank. Nothing assumes you have read another guide first, and nothing assumes you already believe any of it — they explain the systems as systems, and you can decide how much weight to give them.
Western astrology is best for temperament and timing — personality, relationships, and what a given period emphasises. BaZi is best for structure and balance, reading a birth moment as an arrangement of five elements and showing which are strong or missing. Feng Shui is spatial rather than temporal: it reads the arrangement of a home or workplace. Tarot is neither birth-based nor spatial — it is a reflective tool whose value comes from the question you bring to it. Knowing which system answers which kind of question prevents most of the confusion beginners run into.

Start with the natal chart guide. Everything else — transits, compatibility, daily readings — assumes you know what the twelve houses and the ten planets mean, and that guide is the shortest path to that baseline. BaZi, Feng Shui and Tarot can each be read independently afterwards.
Western astrology maps the sky at your birth onto a circular chart of twelve signs and twelve houses, and reads planets as they move through it. BaZi (Four Pillars) uses the Chinese calendar instead: year, month, day and hour each become a pillar of a heavenly stem and an earthly branch, producing eight characters that are read as a balance of five elements. The two systems ask different questions of the same birthday.
For a full natal chart, yes — the rising sign and house placements move roughly one degree every four minutes, so a wrong time shifts the whole chart. For sun sign, moon sign and most Chinese zodiac work a date is enough. The BaZi hour pillar also needs an accurate time; the year, month and day pillars do not.
Yes, all of them, with no account required. They are written as standalone references: each one explains its system from the beginning rather than assuming you have read the others first.
Read the guide once for the vocabulary, then use the free reading tool and come back to the guide whenever a term is unfamiliar. The guides are also cross-linked into the daily and reference pages, so when a horoscope mentions a retrograde or a house you can jump straight to the explainer.
These guides are the reference layer. For today's readings start at everything for today; for sign-by-sign material see the Western zodiac guides; date-based horoscopes live under horoscopes; the Chinese animal years are covered in the Chinese zodiac section; and the free reading tool is on the home page. If a term in any reading is unfamiliar, come back here — each guide is linked from the pages that use it.
