Learn to read a chart, step by step
Start with the building blocks, then put them together. Each page is interactive and explained in plain language.
1. Learn the Five Elements New
Every palace carries one of five elements. Pick two elements and an area of life to see whether they produce or clash, how their energy shifts, and what that means for your question.

2. Meet the 8 Palaces New
Every matter plays out on one of eight stages. Pick a palace to see its theatre, element, month, time and body parts, then read it for an area of life.

3. Put the components together
Learn what each stem, door, star and deity means, then choose a combination for one palace and see how they read for a person's character or a situation.
4. Read Stem + Stem combinations New
In every palace, one Heavenly Stem sits on top of another. Pick the pair and an area of life for a plain-language summary: go ahead, go steady, or prepare first. All 81 pairings, Chaibu method.
