Questions people ask
What is BaZi?
BaZi is a traditional Chinese birth-chart system. It arranges the year, month, day and hour of your birth into four pairs of symbols — the Four Pillars — and reads them as a picture of patterns and seasons in a life. Harborlight explains those symbols in plain English, as material for reflection.
What is Zi Wei Dou Shu?
Zi Wei Dou Shu, the Purple Star tradition, is another classical Chinese chart system. It places symbolic stars into twelve palaces, each connected with an area of life. Harborlight's Purple Star reading walks through the twelve palaces in plain English.
Is Harborlight free?
Yes, to start. Daily guidance, the Question Oracle, the three-question check-in, your BaZi chart and its first reflection are free and need no account. Deeper readings are unlocked with coins from one-time packs.
Do I need an account?
No account is needed for the free tools and your first chart. An email sign-in is only needed to hold coins and unlock deeper readings.
What if I don't know my birth time?
The full Four Pillars need an exact birth time. If yours is uncertain, start with the free tools that need no birth details, or read the guide to recovering your birth time.
Is this a prediction service?
No. Harborlight offers cultural interpretation and emotional support for reflection only. It does not predict outcomes, and it is not medical, legal or financial advice.
