How the monthly reading is made

What the monthly reading needs, what it calculates for the month, which facts it may cite, how the text is written and checked, and what it cannot tell you.

Reviewed ·

Overview

The monthly reading compares your selected month with its neighbouring months through Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu and Western astrology. Chart facts are calculated before AI writing. The prompt asks the writer to use those facts; source notes help you check the interpretation, but do not guarantee that every sentence is correct.

Open the monthly reading

What it needs

  • It uses a birth record already saved to your account, with the birth time known to the minute; without an exact time it is not created.
  • The settings saved with that record, including daylight-saving handling, are used as they are; the monthly page does not ask for them again.
  • You can ask about the month as a whole, one of four life areas or your own question, and add what is happening and what you are deciding.
  • You can choose from five months starting with the current month in your time zone.

What is calculated before any writing

  • The Bazi, Zi Wei and Western engines each calculate the month on their own: Bazi month pillars with their Ten Gods on exact solar terms, the Zi Wei monthly transformations and the palaces they reach, and Western transits with their start and end times.
  • A month usually yields more than a dozen dated facts.
  • The month runs from 00:00 on its first day to 00:00 on the first day of the next month in your time zone, daylight saving included.
  • The previous and the next month are calculated in full as well, so a comparison with them rests on real data.

Which facts it may use and how they are cited

  • The reading is supplied with calculated chart facts and their system and time scope.
  • The prompt asks AI to ground chart claims in these facts and distinguish them from your circumstances and interpretation.
  • Source notes let you inspect the calculated context; their presence does not establish that every sentence interprets it correctly.
  • Coverage, timing and interpretation still need judgment. Automated diagnostics are not an accuracy certification.

How the text is written and checked

  • AI writes the reading from the calculated facts and your chosen question.
  • Source references are processed for display, and automated checks record editorial issues as diagnostics rather than rejecting the reading for wording.
  • The current delivery flow does not include a separate AI reviewer or a human review of each report.
  • An empty response, a provider-reported output cutoff or a provider failure triggers a retry within the configured limit. If generation fails, any charged points are refunded.

Saving and follow-up

  • A finished reading is saved with the birth-record version, month and language, and is not rewritten later.
  • Changing the birth record creates a new reading instead of editing the old one.
  • Feedback you give is saved beside the reading and does not change its text.
  • You can reopen the saved report and ask follow-up questions from it. Later questions do not rewrite the original report.

How you can check it

  • Each cited fact comes from the Bazi, Zi Wei or Western engine, and the list under the reading shows its dates, so you can compare it with those charts. The engines have published verification summaries.
  • Calculation, source handling, saved reports and retry behavior are covered by the method's own tests. These are our tests, not an independent certification; they do not establish predictive accuracy or the quality of every generated report.

Membership and payment

  • Each new monthly reading requires active membership. Standard members use 65 points; the unlimited membership has no per-use point charge. Failed or cancelled generation refunds any charged points; reopening a saved report does not charge again.
  • Payment covers the written reading, not a more accurate chart: the charts come from the same calculation as the free chart tools.
  • Current plans, prices and refund terms are on the pricing and terms pages.

What it cannot tell you

  • It is a symbolic reading to help you think, not a prediction of events, and it does not replace professional advice.
  • Agreement between systems is not a vote, and there is no good-or-bad score.
  • Bazi changes month on exact solar terms and Zi Wei on the lunar month, so their month boundaries differ by design.
  • Western contacts that run past the month are cut at the month's edge and marked.
  • It makes no medical diagnosis and no claim of a fixed outcome.
