MIRROR & PATH

Write down whatever is keeping you up. Three independent implementations compute your chart, and a method library distilled from published cognitive and personal-growth books turns it into a report written for one person — you.

01What it is

What it is

It doesn't tell fortunes and it doesn't predict your future. It is an engine that runs: computation computes, writing writes, plain language stays plain.

How the four layers divide the work

  • ① Computation
    Your Four Pillars (year/month/day/hour) are computed three times by three independent implementations (lunar-python / cnlunar / bazi-skill). Writing begins only when they agree. Five-element weighting, Ten Gods, hidden stems, spirits, strength scoring, eight luck cycles. The year pillar switches at Lichun (start of spring), not at Lunar New Year.
  • ② Two boards
    A **Zi Wei Dou Shu** (Purple Star Astrology) board — Life Palace, Body Palace, five-element bureau, 14 major stars across 12 palaces — plus a **Qimen Dunjia** timing board (layout, duty officers, heaven/earth plates, gates, stars). Zi Wei is independently recomputed from the classical formulas and compared against the engine chart; **if they disagree, that layer is left out of your report**.
  • ③ Knowledge
    From 80 published cognitive and personal-growth books we selected 47 to build a local source library, distilled into 10 core mechanisms (rumination · separation of tasks · cognitive defusion · automatic thoughts & evidence testing · naming emotions with granularity · behavioural activation · self-compassion · sunk cost & loss aversion · over-giving & boundaries). Every mechanism is traceable to its source.
  • ④ Rendering
    The numbers and mechanisms are written into language you can use, plus one action for tonight. Drafted by AI, reviewed by a human before delivery.

The report is mostly about your situation, your feelings and doable next steps. Technical terms appear only where needed, and are explained on the spot.

02Three steps

How it works (3 steps)

  1. 1

    ① Write your questions

    One to three, one sentence each. The more concrete the better — e.g. "He hasn't replied in two days and I checked my phone forty times while telling myself it doesn't matter."

  2. 2

    ② We build your chart and write it

    The chart is calculated by an independent calendar engine (cross-checked against a second engine). The writing is AI-assisted and reviewed by a human before delivery.

  3. 3

    ③ Delivered within 2 hours

    A PDF report and a card version for your phone — read it, or screenshot the cards for the moment your mind races.

3 minutes to fill in → your report in 10–20 minutes (never more than 2 hours)

03What you get

What's inside · Pricing

Every report is built around the questions you write. One chapter per question, four parts: Your words → Mirror (the chart) → Path (the method) → Letting go.

04The maths

We actually compute this — not vibes

Everything below is computed and reproducible. The writing step only translates it into plain language — it is not allowed to change a number.

Triple-source chart
Year, month, day and hour pillars are computed by three independent implementations (lunar-python / cnlunar / bazi-skill). Writing starts only when they agree; the year pillar switches at Lichun rather than Lunar New Year.
Zi Wei Dou Shu · dual-computed
14 major stars placed by palace; Life Palace, Body Palace, bureau and Purple Star position independently recomputed from the classical formulas — a layer we cannot verify is a layer we do not write
Five-element scores
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth each get a score (e.g. Wood 3.2 · Fire 2.8 · Earth 2.1 · Metal 1.6 · Water 1.3) — numbers, not adjectives
Ten Gods mapping
Each position derived from your day master — not hand-waving
Stem-branch relations
Combinations, clashes, punishments and harms are listed per chart with their type; the writer may not mention any relation outside that list
Strength assessment
Support vs drain scored separately to decide strong/weak — not by feel
Luck cycles & year
8 ten-year cycles computed out to age 85, with the one you are in right now
Qimen Dunjia board
Layout, duty officers, heaven/earth plates, gates and stars — a second check on the timing layer (same-day worked example: Yin Dun, 6th ju, lower yuan · duty star Heart · duty gate Open · solar term White Dew).
Hidden stems · spirits
Every hidden stem and spirit in each branch is listed out as supporting fact — not adjectives, a list you can check.

What can be computed is never handed to the AI: chart figures are locked into a fact pack, and the writing stage may not change a number or invent a stem-branch pair.

Under the hood

  • Chart numbers are computed by the engines and locked into a fact-pack: the writing step may not alter a number or invent a stem-branch.
  • Three independent implementations are cross-checked (year pillar by Lichun); where they diverge, the two that agree decide, and the divergence is recorded in the chart.
  • The Zi Wei chart's Life Palace, Body Palace, five-element bureau and Purple Star position are recomputed from the classical formulas and checked against the engine (300 sample charts, 100% agreement); a mismatch drops the whole layer.
  • Every sentence passes our own “never say this” list — we keep that list out of the ads and in the open.
  • Every mechanism carries a traceable source (which book, which section).
  • We have gone back over delivered reports (including the calls we got wrong); anything that failed does not ship.
05Real excerpt

What it actually reads like

Rather than describe it, here is a real excerpt from a delivered report — personal details removed.

Her words"I wake at 3am almost every night and can't get back to sleep. I'm running on empty all day."
[Chart]Fire 4.45 is the strongest element, Water 1.0 the thinnest; two Rob Wealth pillars in the year and hour.
[Mechanism]In plain words: you are giving out more than you are taking in, so every decision feels heavier than it should.
[Action]Tonight: write down everything circling in your head, finish with "handled tomorrow", and leave the page outside the bedroom.

— Not a template: every line comes from her own question and her own chart.

Real pages from the deliverable (details shown as an example). A personal brief you can keep on your phone.

06Card set

Plus a phone-card version

One 9:16 card per chapter — read one on the train, or screenshot it.

07What to write

What can you write? Anything that keeps you awake at 2am

“He hasn't replied in two days and I checked my phone forty times while telling myself it doesn't matter.”
“I don't know whether to quit my job and it's eating me up.”
“I want to earn more but never get there, and I wonder if I'm just not good enough.”

One to three, one sentence each. Concrete beats abstract.

08No guessing

How we keep this honest

The chart is computed twice by two independent engines and only written once they agree. Anything computable is kept away from the model. Every line passes a list of things we never say. We don't put this in the ad — we put it on a page.

11Idea

What we believe: see clearly first, then move.

Eastern charting as the mirror — an objective read of your natural tendencies.

An evidence-based coach as the path: it breaks the one step you are stuck on into something you can actually do.

Eastern wisdom for letting go — a practice that does not depend on other people's judgement.

12Limits

Honest boundaries

  • Not medical, psychological, legal or financial advice. If sleeplessness or low mood continues, or you have thoughts of harming yourself, please talk to a professional (UK: 116 123 ／ US: 988).
  • It promises no outcomes: no report changes your job, your relationship or your income.
  • AI helps write it, and a human reviews each report before delivery. We say this openly.
  • Your birth details and your words are used only to produce your report, and are deleted within 90 days.

If it misses: say so and we rewrite it once; if it still misses, full refund — no reasons needed.
