Not judged: an annual-cycle spirit, not rendered on personal charts.
Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.
These readings follow the traditional Chinese system (BaZi / Zi Wei Dou Shu) and describe how the classics read a chart. They are not predictions and not medical, legal or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.
Same treatment as Mourning Gate?

Where would it be used at all?
