Editorial Policy

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)
• Academic research on Chinese metaphysics and Wu Xing theory
• Professional experience in Chinese astrology consultation

We do not fabricate interpretations or mix unrelated astrological systems. When we reference Western astrology for comparison, we clearly label it as such.

2. Accuracy & Verification

Our content undergoes the following verification process:

• Calculation verification: All BaZi chart calculations are tested against known birth charts and historical figures for accuracy.
• Solar term calibration: Month pillar boundaries are calibrated using precise astronomical solar term data, not approximate calendar dates.
• Element relationship verification: All Ten Gods, clash, combination, and penalty relationships are verified against classical reference tables.
• 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:

1. Draft: Initial content is written based on research and source materials.
2. Review: Content is reviewed for factual accuracy, particularly classical Chinese astrology terminology and calculations.
3. Edit: Clarity, readability, and educational value are refined.
4. Publish: Content is published with proper schema markup and meta tags.
5. Update: Content is reviewed periodically and updated when new information or corrections are needed.

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 dateModified field in our article schema
• 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.
