Luck Pillars & Chinese Destiny API

The Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi) system uses your birth year, month, day, and hour to create four pillars, each containing a heavenly stem and earthly branch.

These eight characters reveal your destiny pattern, elemental balance, and life fate cycles.

Our API precisely calculates Chinese calendar conversions, determines correct seasonal timing adjustments, and analyzes complex relationships between pillars.

Each pillar represents different life areas: year pillar for ancestors and early life, month pillar for parents and career, day pillar for self and spouse, and hour pillar for children and later life.

The system then tracks how ten-year luck cycles interact with your birth pillars to predict destiny changes throughout life.

Our Luck Pillars API uses authentic Chinese astronomical data and traditional calculation methods verified against classical texts.

We handle complex timezone conversions, seasonal solar term adjustments, and precise Chinese calendar correlations that most modern apps incorrectly approximate.

Our system calculates hidden elements, seasonal strength adjustments, and the complete Ten Gods relationship matrix that traditional Chinese astrologers rely on.

Response times average under 250ms while maintaining calculation precision, and our interpretations are based on classical sources including the Three Fates Classic and other traditional Chinese texts instead of simplified modern interpretations.

Integration takes less than 15 minutes with our Chinese astrology-focused documentation and cultural examples.

Send birth data and receive complete Four Pillars analysis including elemental balance, Ten Gods relationships, luck cycle predictions, and traditional interpretations.

Our API supports both simplified and traditional Chinese character sets, multiple interpretation styles from classical to modern, and batch processing for family or group analysis.

Add optional parameters for analysis depth, cultural context preferences, and destiny timing specificity.

The response delivers structured data suitable for both educational applications and professional Chinese astrology consultations.

Luck cycles represent the dynamic flow of destiny throughout your life, showing when different types of opportunities and challenges will occur.

Each ten-year cycle brings different elemental influences that either support or conflict with your birth pillars, creating favorable or challenging periods for wealth, career, relationships, and health.

Our API calculates how each cycle affects your specific elemental balance, identifies the most favorable periods for major decisions, and provides timing guidance for important life events.

This temporal analysis is crucial for traditional Chinese divination and gives users practical guidance for life planning and decision timing.
