How this knowledge base works
OpenFate uses one knowledge architecture for Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Western astrology, and Human Design while keeping their calculations, source traditions, and interpretation rules separate. All four follow the same terminology, evidence, locale, and review standards.
- Wiki pages define concepts and relationships.
- Sources document calculations or traditions only within their stated authority.
- OpenFate tools verify chart facts before a bounded personal interpretation.
What every published Wiki page includes
Published pages provide the standard name, useful aliases, a direct definition, formation or calculation conditions, a reading order, common errors, related entries, sources, and applicable tools. A catalog reference remains outside search results until its rules and localized content pass review.
- Each locale uses natural local prose and retains foreign terms only when they clarify identity.
- Traditional symbolism stays separate from medical, legal, financial, and other professional advice.
- No isolated symbol replaces the complete chart, its settings, or its timing conditions.
Start with one complete learning path
Bazi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Western astrology, and Human Design use different data structures, calculation settings, and reading grammars. Build a shared vocabulary inside one system before comparing systems; Ten Gods, palace transformations, planetary aspects, and BodyGraph rules are not interchangeable.
How to verify a Wiki answer
Identify the system and exact concept first, then separate its calculable inputs from its traditional interpretation. Reproduce the chart position with the linked tool, record the time and rule settings, and compare the result with the page sources before relying on an explanation.
- Stop at the definition layer when required birth data or calculation settings are missing.
- Treat symbolic meanings as conditional reading frameworks, not measured traits or guaranteed events.
- Use independent medical, legal, financial, or other professional evidence for real-world decisions.
Sources and editorial basis
