Content Standards
At MyBaziDestiny, we are committed to publishing content that is accurate, well-researched, and genuinely helpful. This editorial policy outlines how we create and maintain our content.
1. Research & Sources
All our content is based on:
- Classical Chinese astrology texts (滴天髓, 渊海子平, 三命通会, 穷通宝鉴)
- Established BaZi calculation methods (Zi Ping system)
- Educational research on Chinese calendrical traditions and Wu Xing theory
We distinguish general zodiac-year traditions from calculations that require a complete birth date and time. When we reference Western astrology for comparison, we clearly label it as a separate system.
2. Accuracy & Verification
Our content undergoes the following verification process:
- Calculation verification: Four Pillars calculations are tested against known sexagenary-day anchors and solar-term boundary cases.
- Scope verification: Pages must not present a birth-year profile as a complete BaZi chart or a personalized Luck Pillar calculation.
- Claim review: Names, dates, calendar boundaries, and other factual statements must be checked or removed.
- Zodiac year verification: All Chinese zodiac year assignments are verified against the sexagenary cycle (e.g., 2026 = 丙午 Fire Horse, not Fire Snake).
3. Content Review Process
Every article and guide follows this process:
- Draft: Initial content is written based on research and source materials.
- Review: Content is checked for factual consistency, calculation scope, terminology, and unsupported claims.
- Edit: Clarity, readability, and educational value are refined.
- Publish: Content is published with canonical URLs, appropriate indexing rules, and structured metadata where relevant.
- Update: Content is reviewed when calculation logic, annual references, or source material changes.
4. Corrections Policy
We take factual errors seriously. If we discover an error in our content:
- We correct it as soon as possible
- We update the visible revision date and structured data when an article is materially revised
- For significant corrections, we note the change in the article
If you spot an error, please use our calculator and contact us through the site. We appreciate corrections from our community.
5. Content Independence
Our educational content is independent of our premium reading products. Free articles are not “teasers” designed to upsell — they are complete, standalone educational resources. Premium readings offer personalized, chart-specific analysis that goes beyond what general articles can cover.
6. Privacy & Data
We do not store your birth data on our servers unless you explicitly create an account. Chart calculations are performed client-side whenever possible. We do not sell user data to third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.
7. Advertising & Sponsorship
Any sponsored content or advertisements will be clearly labeled. We do not accept sponsored content that contradicts our editorial standards or promotes astrological misinformation.
8. Date & Last Updated
This editorial policy was last updated on July 29, 2026. We review this policy at least annually.
