Zi Wei and BaZi: Two Charts from the Same Birth
BaZi arranges four stem-branch pairs; Zi Wei arranges stars in twelve palaces. The same birth record supplies different calendar coordinates and a different reading reference in each chart.

Two reading references
BaZi starts with the day stem as Day Master and reads its relationships with the other stems and branches. Zi Wei starts with a palace arrangement and reads star patterns in life areas.
One birth, two month coordinates
BaZi’s month follows the exact Jie solar-term boundaries. Zi Wei’s chart setup uses the lunar month and day, including the selected handling of a leap month. The two month values can differ for the same birth.
