Your natal chart
Four pillars, the balance of the five elements, the ten gods and your chart structure — all on one screen.
Device
My Saju — the chart card and the "More" grid · Shown on Desktop.
What you are looking at
1
The eight characters — a heavenly stem and an earthly branch for your year, month, day and hour.
2
Day Master — the stem of your birth day. It stands for you, and every reading is calculated from it.
3
Element balance — how evenly Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are distributed.
4
Ten gods — how each character relates to your Day Master. This is the axis for money, relationships and status.
5
Structure — the shape the whole chart forms, and whether it holds together.
6
Strong or weak — whether your Day Master is supported or suppressed by what surrounds it.
The deeper layers
Below the basic chart sit layers drawn from the same eight characters but cut along more personal axes. All are calculated, so they differ from person to person.
1
Twelve stages — which stage of a life cycle your Day Master occupies in each pillar.
2
Twelve spirits — markers such as the travelling horse, the peach blossom and the canopy.
3
Palaces — reading the year, month, day and hour positions as ancestors, parents, spouse and children.
4
Climate — whether the chart runs hot or cold, dry or damp. This is what tells us which element it is missing.

Common questions
I can't tell which one is my Day Master.
It is the largest character on the chart card. It means "you", and everything from your daily reading to compatibility is calculated relative to it.
The terminology is dense.
Most terms carry a short gloss inline, and the glossary has the full list.
I added someone and my own chart seems to have changed.
It has not. "My Saju" always shows your own chart; saved people are only used on the compatibility screens.
Worth knowing
· The glossary (/glossary) explains every term in full.
· The full written reading — the one that ties it all into a single narrative — is part of PRO.
