Frequently asked questions
What Fortune Synthesis is, how it works, and what you get.
What is Fortune Synthesis?
Fortune Synthesis is a personal life-reading that fuses five traditions — Western astrology, BaZi (四柱), Zi Wei Dou Shu (紫微数), numerology, and Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲) — into one integrated, computed report about who you are, who strengthens you, what to do, and your timing for the years ahead.
How is it different from a normal horoscope or astrology app?
Most apps read a single chart — usually just your Sun sign. Fortune Synthesis computes five independent systems from your exact date, time, and place of birth and cross-checks them. Where the systems agree, the insight is high-confidence; where they differ, that nuance is the interesting part — and we tell you which is which.
What systems does it use?
Western astrology (your birth chart — Sun, Moon, rising, planets), BaZi or the Four Pillars (your five-element balance and luck cycles), Zi Wei Dou Shu (your twelve life palaces), numerology (your life-path and personal numbers), and Qi Men Dun Jia (奇门遁甲 — your situational board of favourable directions and strategy).
Do I need my exact birth time?
It helps. Your birth time sharpens the rising sign, the BaZi hour pillar, and several Zi Wei placements. You can still get a meaningful reading without it — we note where a placement is approximate — but a known time makes the reading more precise.
Why is my chart (时辰 / pillars) different from another calculator?
Because we use true solar time (真太阳时). Your clock time isn't the sun's real position at your birthplace — clocks run on a standard time zone, but the sun is overhead at your actual longitude. We correct for that (plus the equation of time) before plotting your BaZi (Four Pillars), Zi Wei Dou Shu, and Qi Men Dun Jia — the three systems that pivot on the 时辰. In Singapore this shift is about an hour, so it often moves you into a different two-hour 时辰, which changes the hour pillar and, since these systems are built on the 时辰, the rest of the chart. This is the rigorous classical method serious practitioners use; simple calculators that use raw clock time will differ. (Western astrology in your reading correctly uses your civil clock time, because it needs the true position of the planets.)
Is the reading free?
The preview is free and needs no payment — it covers who you are at your core plus your strengths. The Complete Synthesis full report (22 sections, delivered as a PDF) is a one-off S$88.
What's in the full Complete Synthesis report?
Everything in the preview in greater depth, plus your inner world and life purpose; six life domains (career, wealth, romance, friends, health, opportunities); who to keep close and who to be cautious of; your personal remedies and best directions; and your timing — your life arc, the next ten years, the next three months, and the year ahead.
What is a compatibility reading?
A compatibility reading scores how two people fit across the same five systems. You can read one area — Romance, Friendship, or Business (S$12 each) — or all three as a bundle (S$30), each with an overall percentage and a breakdown of the factors behind it.
What is Forecast Synthesis (the membership)?
Forecast Synthesis is a membership that sends you a personalized forecast — your week and month ahead — drawn from all five systems and read as one plain-English guide. It's S$35 a month or S$388 a year. It's separate from the one-off Complete Synthesis report and the compatibility readings: the membership is just the ongoing forecasts.
Should I take this as scientific advice?
No. Fortune Synthesis is for reflection and entertainment — orientation, not destiny. It describes tendencies and seasons, and your choices always matter more than any chart. It is not professional, medical, legal, or financial advice.
Is my birth data private?
Your birth details are used only to compute your charts. They are never shared or sold.
