FAQ
Do I need my birth time to find the Day Master?
Birth date is enough for the Day Master. Birth time refines the full Four Pillars and improves accuracy for timing‑related work.
What about February 4 (Li Chun)?
Births before Li Chun are counted toward the previous solar year in many calculators and methods. Use the on‑site tools which account for this boundary.
How does this relate to career and relationships?
The Day Master frames energy supply and stress patterns. We align that with environment (Kua, Flying Stars) and timing (Qi Men) for practical moves.
