About

The collection has 36 lots. Each includes a title, a short poem, a sign, and plain-language notes on what to do and what to avoid.

Draw a random lot, or draw today's lot, which is chosen by the date in Taipei time and stays the same all day. No birth information is needed; lots are for entertainment and reflection.

How it works

Four Pillars uses Beginning of Spring for the year and solar terms for months. The selected day boundary applies. Zi Wei uses iztro default stars, lunar New Year, and adjusted leap months: days 1–15 use the current month, later days the next. Schools may differ. Engines: lunar-javascript and iztro.

Privacy & data

Tools still work without registering. Optional social sign-in (Google, Facebook or LINE) may receive an account id and sometimes email or display name from that provider; we do not create passwords, and sign-in never uploads birth details or charts. Birth details remain in page memory and are removed on clear or reload. They are not stored or added to URLs. Only language preference is saved locally. The site is funded by ads: pages load a Monetag MultiTag, plus an Adsterra Social Bar (a corner overlay). These scripts run on the page itself. Adsterra, Monetag and their partners may receive your IP and browser information and use cookies for ad delivery and measurement (Adsterra privacy policy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/). We do not deliberately provide birth details or charts to advertisers, but we cannot prevent a third-party script from reading the page; use your browser's ad blocking if this concerns you. Each move to another page is a full page load. Visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland must agree before ads load. No analytics or external AI requests are enabled. You can refuse ads with your browser's ad or cookie blocking; the tools keep working.

FAQ

Does today's lot change every day?

Yes. It is chosen by the calendar date in Taipei time, stays the same during that day and changes the next day.

Do I need to enter my birthday?

No. Lots do not use any birth data.

Are the lots accurate predictions?

No. They are for entertainment and reflection, not for medical, financial or legal decisions.
