Tianfu Agent · Chart reasoning
Map Zi Wei Dou Shu palaces, Four Pillars stem–branch interactions, and Qimen Dunjia door–star–deity layouts in one pipeline. The agent keeps assumptions explicit, traces how a chart was built, and helps you compare timing windows without losing the classical rule set.
Overview
Calculators freeze at the moment of computation. Tianfu Agent treats the chart as a living object: inputs are validated, transformations are named, and follow-up questions inherit the same structured context. You spend less time reconciling spreadsheets and more time deciding which classical lens fits the situation.
The agent proposes the next clarification, updates stem–branch tables or palace assignments, and narrates what changed. Each pass leaves an audit trail you can revisit when a client asks “why this month?” six weeks later.
Birth moments, calendars, and location corrections feed a shared model. Zi Wei palace lines, day-master strength sketches, and Qimen strategic snapshots can be compared side by side without manually re-keying data.
Traditional star names, door categories, and pillar combinations appear with short glosses where needed. The tone stays descriptive—strengths, tensions, and timing hypotheses—so practitioners can overlay their own school-specific rules.
If you need the product story, the loop, and the vocabulary map in a single sitting, the sections below mirror how teams onboard to a new research agent: definition first, mechanics second, caveats last.
How it works
Every session follows the same cadence: normalize the question, lock the time model, derive the relevant chart layer, then spell out scenario branches. Narrow steps reduce silent errors when solar terms, midnight rules, or true solar time adjustments disagree across sources.
You state the domain (life theme, annual focus, or tactical window), supply birth or event data, and note any fixed assumptions—calendar type, location, or a known rectified time. The agent echoes those constraints before touching calculations.
Solar terms, time zones, and historical calendar shifts are resolved up front. When ambiguity remains, the agent lists the competing conventions instead of picking one silently.
For Zi Wei, that means palace order, major stars, and transforming triggers where your school applies them. For Four Pillars, day-master context and useful element pressure. For Qimen, plate layout with doors, stars, and deities aligned to the chosen hour.
The agent contrasts at least two timing or branch hypotheses when data is thin. It states which classical signals support each line, and which signals would falsify a prediction—so you can stop early when the chart does not support a dramatic claim.
The closing summary lists inputs, key chart tables, and open questions. That format mirrors how technical teams ship experiment logs: future you—or a collaborator—can replay the reasoning without reopening the entire thread.
Why it matters
Most tools stop at novelty. Tianfu Agent optimizes for repeatability: the same inputs should yield the same skeleton chart, while prose layers can vary as you refine a client conversation. That separation protects serious study from ad-hoc storytelling.
Term boundaries and clock corrections apply once, then propagate. You avoid the classic failure mode where a Zi Wei printout and a BaZi printout quietly disagree about the day pillar.
Tables and lists stay in view. Narrative flourishes attach to named chart features instead of floating assertions, which makes peer review possible even when two readers use different schools.
Follow-up prompts inherit context. You can drill from a year-level theme into a month-level trigger, then into a Qimen hour selection, without restating birth data each time.
Deep dive
Zi Wei Dou Shu emphasizes palace narratives and star combinations. Four Pillars emphasizes stem–branch chemistry and luck cycles. Qimen Dunjia emphasizes directional and temporal strategic reads. Tianfu Agent does not pretend these are interchangeable; it carries them as parallel projections from a single validated clock so you can cross-check tension points—say, when a strong pillar clash coincides with an empty spouse palace.
In Zi Wei mode, expect palace labels, major and minor star clusters, and commentary that respects empty seats and flying transformations when you enable them. In Four Pillars mode, expect pillar stacks, ten-god sketches framed as patterns—not personality verdicts—and luck pillars anchored to the same birth moment. In Qimen mode, expect plate diagrams described in plain language alongside door–star–deity relationships, with explicit handling of ju type and hour leader selection when you provide them.
It is not a substitute for licensed professional advice in law, medicine, or finance. It does not guarantee outcomes. It assists structured reading and hypothesis formation for people who already respect the ethical weight of chart work.
FAQ
The public framing centers on Zi Wei Dou Shu, Four Pillars (BaZi), and Qimen Dunjia. Auxiliary techniques may appear when they share the same time base and you request them explicitly.
Pillar calculations tolerate small clock uncertainty for many questions, but hour-level work—including some Qimen layouts—needs a trustworthy local time. The agent surfaces when a ±30 minute swing would change the hour field or ju placement.
Yes. Use the notes field to name the lineage or simplifications you want. The agent treats those as constraints alongside classical defaults and will flag when a rule conflicts with another setting.
Chart tables should be stable for the same inputs and rule configuration. Natural-language explanation can vary, which is why the structured tables and bullet premises are always copied into the closing summary.
