What are the twelve palaces?
They are fields such as Life, Career, Wealth, Relationships and Travel. A palace is read through its stars, transformations and links to the rest of the chart—not as an isolated verdict.

Your Zi Wei chart
Four rooms to read first
A palace is a field of life, not a verdict. Read the major stars as operating styles and the transformations as emphasis.
What this free chart includes
The twelve natal palaces, fourteen major stars, selected supporting stars, Four Transformations and the natal decade ranges. It uses the Complete Collection/default school with forward day division, matching MUQING desktop’s default Zi Wei configuration.
The rule-based reading above is generated in your browser from the stars actually in your chart. For a deeper, personalised narrative, the resident reader can expand it.

How a Zi Wei Dou Shu birth chart works
Zi Wei Dou Shu maps major and supporting stars into twelve palaces of life. The free calculator gives you the visible chart structure first, including the Four Transformations and decade ranges.
Why is an exact birth hour required?
The birth hour changes the palace arrangement and star positions. If the hour is unknown, use the BaZi calculator's six-character mode rather than guessing a Zi Wei chart.
How is Zi Wei different from BaZi?
BaZi begins with stems, branches and elemental relationships. Zi Wei begins with palaces and stars. They are separate systems that can illuminate the same question from different angles.
