​Zi Wei Dou Shu is a branch of metaphysics which was developed much later compared to methods such as Qi Men Dun Jia (奇門遁甲) and BaZi (八字). Zi Wei Dou Shu is one of the most highly regarded form of astrology in Chinese metaphysics.

Like any other astrological method, the foundation of Zi Wei Dou Shu was built on the observation of the stars and how the patterns manifested in real life. The Zǐ Wēi (紫微) star refers to the Polaris star and the major stars used in Zi Wei Dou Shu analysis are the seen stars from the Big Dipper (北斗七星) and six other stars from the Sagittarius constellation (南斗六星). Each ‘name’ you see in a chart refers to a star in the sky (with a few exceptions), and all are taken into account when analyzing a chart, making it infinitely more complex than other methods.

Being a more complex technique, Zi Wei Dou Shu is able to give more insights and detail into a person’s life than BaZi, and tells you both where and how the manifestations will come from – something which BaZi cannot do. BaZi offers a macro-view of things, but Zi Wei Dou Shu is able to go deeper into the micro-view. 

The analysis of your Zi Wei Dou Shu chart will come as part of the BaZi consultation. I use both methods concurrently to give a more holistic and accurate deduction of your astrological charts.

These two methods will always point towards the same conclusion. BaZi is a simpler method and came much earlier in Chinese history. It is best used to give you a quick and accurate overview of how your life will unfold, whereas Zi Wei Dou Shu will allow us to go into the details so you know exactly where the opportunities and challenges will come from instead of just focusing on the outcome.

Regardless of what method we are using, the charts will never contradict each other and both will give you very valuable insights. As Zi Wei Dou Shu is a much more complex method, I will not break down every single step on how the analysis is derived from your Zi Wei Dou Shu chart, but rest assured I will let you know how I derived my conclusions.

Feel free to reach out to get the conversation started and find out more about the consultation process! Getting a BaZi or Zi Wei Dou Shu reading from me are the same thing as both methods will be used concurrently. Whenever you’re ready, head over to my “Book An Appointment” page and fill up the form to get started.
