Ephemeris Table · four things to cast, one to read

Four traditions read
the same birthday.
They do not agree.

A sun sign, a life path number, the pillars of your birth hour, the card you were born under — four different arithmetics on one date. We print the arithmetic next to the answer, which is how you find out that two of these systems are quietly the same sum wearing different names.

I Start here One Birth Moment, Four Systems Type a date and a time. Four traditions read it at once and you get all six figures on one screen — then a line that counts how many of them landed in the same place. Nothing is pulled from a stack of pre-written horoscopes; every number is computed from your date while you watch. date & time 1 min 6 figures, 4 systems nothing you type is sent anywhere Cast it

The other tables

  1. II Four Pillars in Full The short version on Table I gives you three pillars. This one gives you all eight characters, counts the five elements across them, and lays out the ten-year luck cycles. Solar terms are computed, not rounded to the middle of a month. date, time, sex2 min8 characters + luck cycles
  2. III Five Systems, One Day A date, and five traditions answer at once. Three of them hand back the same number under three different names — this page shows the arithmetic that makes that happen, which is not a coincidence and not a conspiracy. date only2 min5 figures, all working shown
  3. IV What a Name Adds Up To Two schools of name numerology assign different numbers to the same letters, so they reach different answers about the same person. Type a name and watch them disagree, with both letter tables printed underneath. any name1 min2 schools side by side

Nothing to fill in

The Same Dream, Five Traditions Falling, teeth coming loose, being chased, the exam you never studied for: the handful of dreams almost everyone has. Five traditions read each one side by side and contradict each other — and then, separately, what sleep research can and cannot actually say about any of it. Read it

What these tables are, and are not

Every figure here is arithmetic.

A sun sign is a date range. A life path number is a sum of digits. A day pillar is a count of days since a fixed point in the sexagenary cycle. All of it can be repeated by hand, and each page shows how. What those figures are supposed to mean is a tradition’s claim — we report the claim, we do not vouch for it.

Where a system needs more than a birthday, we say so.

A rising sign and the twelve Zi Wei palaces need your exact coordinates and a real ephemeris, not a date and a guess. Rather than print a confident answer built on a city we assumed, those are left out and named as left out. A chart that never admits a gap has no gaps because it filled them in for you.

Nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Birthdays, birth times and names are all computed by JavaScript on the page in front of you. They are not uploaded, not stored, and not recoverable by us afterwards. The privacy page lists the handful of things that are recorded — which page loaded, and whether you got to the end.

Two of these systems are the same sum.

Western numerology, the Pythagorean letter table and the tarot birth card all reduce a number by adding its digits until one digit is left. Feed them the same date and they agree, every time, by construction. That is worth knowing before you take agreement between two systems as evidence that either one works.
