The First Chinese Astrology API with Authentic Traditional Formulas

BaZi (八字) literally means 'eight characters' - it's your complete Chinese astrological profile based on birth year, month, day, and hour.

Each has a Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch, forming four 'pillars' that reveal your destiny.

Our API calculates all this in milliseconds using traditional algorithms.

You get the 10 Gods analysis (your personality types), Day Master strength (how powerful your core element is), favorable elements (what helps you succeed), and Luck Pillars (10-year fortune cycles).

Unlike Western astrology that focuses on planets, BaZi reveals the flow of Five Elements in your life.

It's like having an ancient Chinese sage analyze your birth data, but instantly and at scale.

Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微斗數) is the most sophisticated Chinese astrology system - think of BaZi's smarter younger sibling.

It maps 108 stars across 12 life palaces (career, wealth, relationships, health, etc.) to create incredibly detailed life predictions.

Our API calculates star brightness, palace interactions, and decade-by-decade analysis.

Each star has specific meanings - Zi Wei (Purple Star) shows leadership, Po Jun indicates breakthrough phases, Tian Fu reveals wealth potential.

The system is so complex that traditionally only master astrologers could calculate it.

Now your app can generate complete Zi Wei charts in under 400ms.

It's like having a personal imperial astrologer from ancient China.

Ming Gua (命卦) is your personal Feng Shui number that determines your best directions, colors, and living spaces.

Calculated from birth year and gender, it shows whether you belong to East Group (good directions: North, South, East, Southeast) or West Group (Southwest, Northwest, West, Northeast).

Real estate apps use this for property recommendations, interior design apps for layout suggestions, dating apps for compatibility checks.

Our API calculates Ming Gua instantly plus gives you all the practical applications - lucky numbers, auspicious colors, best sleeping directions, compatible business partners.

It's like having a Feng Shui master tell you exactly how to arrange your life for maximum fortune.

Chinese astrology has been tested over 4,000 years - that's a pretty good track record.

Our API uses formulas validated by certified Chinese astrology masters and cross-referenced with classical texts like the Three Fates Classic and the Purple Star Classic.

We achieve 98% accuracy compared to manual traditional calculations.

The main difference from Western astrology: Chinese systems focus on timing and practical guidance.

They don't just say 'you're creative' - they tell you the best year to start your business, the optimal month to marry, even the lucky hours for important meetings.

Users report 94% accuracy for timing major life events, much higher than generic horoscopes.

Cultural authenticity matters.

Chinese astrology isn't just different symbols for the same Western concepts - it's an entirely different philosophical framework based on Five Elements, Yin-Yang balance, and cosmic energy flow.

When Chinese users see authentic BaZi or Zi Wei Dou Shu calculations, they recognize the real deal.

It connects to their cultural heritage, traditional medicine principles, and family beliefs passed down through generations.

Apps using our authentic formulas see 85% higher trust scores from Chinese users compared to Western astrology adaptations.

It's the difference between authentic Chinese food and Panda Express - both are Asian-themed, but only one feels real.

Integration is surprisingly simple for such complex calculations.

Install our SDK (npm install @astroapi/chinese-astrology), send birth data to our API, get back complete Chinese astrology profiles as clean JSON.

We handle all the complex calculations - stem/branch combinations, element relationships, star placements, compatibility algorithms.

Your app just displays the results however you want.

Most developers get basic integration working in 2-3 hours.

We provide pre-built components for React, Vue, and Angular if you want to move even faster.

Plus SDKs for mobile (Swift, Kotlin, Flutter) and backend languages (Python, PHP, Ruby).

The hard part is done - you focus on user experience.
