Privacy and use
No name, account or email required. 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 Adsterra ads in an isolated frame, and Adsterra and its partners may receive your IP and browser information and use cookies for ad delivery and measurement (privacy policy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/). The ad frame cannot read this page, and we never provide birth details or charts to advertisers. Pages also load an Adsterra popunder (clicking the page may open an ad tab in the background, frequency-capped per visitor) and a Social Bar (a corner overlay). These two scripts run on the page itself: 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.
About this tool
Five-element analysis turns the eight (or six) characters of your year, month, day and hour pillars into Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, weights the month branch double, and judges how strong the day master is. A stronger day master is traditionally helped by output, wealth and officer elements; a weaker one by resource and peer elements.
This site uses a simplified strength-balancing method without seasonal adjustment, structure, mediating elements or luck cycles. It is meant for a quick picture of what you may need more or less of, mapped to colors, directions and numbers and linked to the related tools.
FAQ
Should I supplement whichever element is missing?
Not necessarily. This page looks at helpful and less helpful elements after judging strength, not just what is missing.
Can I use it without a birth time?
Yes. It uses three pillars; the month branch is still weighted. The result is a bit coarser.
Why does another site list different useful gods?
Schools and software use different rules; this is a simplified method and may differ from a professional reading.
Is my data stored?
No. It is calculated in browser memory only.
