Methodology & Accuracy
Ba Zi Calculation Accuracy Levels
ZEN SPACE's Ba Zi algorithm is built on primary references — the Wan Nian Li (万年历) perpetual calendar and Li Chun (立春) correction for year determination, plus a True Solar Time correction based on birth-city coordinates for the Hour Pillar. Here is the accuracy level for each calculation component:
四柱 Four Pillars
95%
Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch calculation based on Wan Nian Li + Li Chun precision. True Solar Time correction applied to the Hour Pillar.
納音 Nayin
99%
A deterministic lookup table of the 60 Jia Zi combinations — no ambiguity in the calculation.
空亡 Kong Wang
99%
A deterministic mathematical calculation based on the 60 Jia Zi cycle — consistent results with no subjective interpretation.
神煞 Shen Sha
85%
12 standard Shen Sha identified from branch combinations — interpretation of their effects varies between practitioners.
大運 Da Yun
92%
Traditional formula based on the distance to the nearest Solar Term ÷ 3, differentiated by gender and Yang/Yin year.
格局 GeJu / Chart Pattern
72%
Pattern matching against 10 classical chart formats based on the 10 Ten Gods and Day Master strength — includes an interpretive component.
用神 Yong Shen
78%
Multi-layer analysis of Day Master strength + seasonal strength + element dominance. A deterministic approach with a judgment component.
流年 Liu Nian
75%
Interaction of yearly energy with the natal chart — accuracy varies depending on the completeness of the birth chart data.
Methodology note: The accuracy figures above refer to technical calculation accuracy, not predictive accuracy. Ba Zi is an interpretive system — its results are indicative and contextual, not deterministic. For deeper, personalized analysis, consulting an experienced Ba Zi practitioner is strongly recommended.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this calculator really free?
Yes, calculating the basic Four Pillars, elements, and Day Master is completely free, no signup required.
What is True Solar Time and why does it matter?
True Solar Time is a time correction based on the longitude of your birth city — it can shift the Hour Pillar by 30+ minutes, which can affect your chart results. Learn more in this article on how to calculate Ba Zi.
Do I need to know my exact birth time?
Not necessarily — the other 3 pillars (Year, Month, Day) can still be calculated and provide plenty of insight.
What's the difference compared to Kua Number?
Kua Number is a separate Feng Shui calculation based on birth year & gender — see the 2026 Kua Number calculator & guide.
