How this Zi Wei Dou Shu Life & Body Palace Calculator works
The traditional rule starts lunar month one at Yin, counts forward to the birth month, then counts backward by the birth-hour branch for Life and forward for Body.
What assumptions should I verify?
The Zi Wei Dou Shu Life & Body Palace Calculator uses U.S.-first defaults where conventions affect Chinese lunar birth month and Birth-hour branch; its visible selectors identify alternate measurements explicitly. The reported Zi 子, zi, and Zi follows the selected units and the same canonical equation Month Pos = (yinIndex+month-1)%12.
Is information sent anywhere?
The Zi Wei Dou Shu Life & Body Palace Calculator evaluates Month Pos = (yinIndex+month-1)%12 locally in the browser. Values entered for Chinese lunar birth month and Birth-hour branch are used to produce Zi 子, zi, and Zi inside the `ziwei-life-body-palace` module and are not transmitted to a remote solver or stored by this calculator.
Zi Wei Dou Shu Life & Body Palace Calculator: formula-based step-by-step solution
This Zi Wei Dou Shu Life & Body Palace Calculator worked derivation uses the published default state. Its live formula panel replaces these values whenever an input, unit, mode, date, material, or scenario changes.
Month Pos = (yinIndex+month-1)%12Yin Index = 2H = keys.indexOf(String(Hour Branch))Life = branches[life]Body = branches[body]Month Palace = branches[monthPos]Life Index = (monthPos-h+12)%12Body Index = (monthPos+h)%12
1. Governing formulas and numeric substitution
- Formula 1:
Month Pos = (yinIndex+month-1)%12Default-value substitution:Month Pos = (yinIndex+(7)-1)%12 - Formula 2:
Yin Index = 2Default-value substitution:Yin Index = 2Intermediate evaluation:2 - Formula 3:
H = keys.indexOf(String(Hour Branch))Default-value substitution:H = keys.indexOf(String(Hour Branch)) | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu - Formula 4:
Life = branches[life]Default-value substitution:Life = branches[life] | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu - Formula 5:
Body = branches[body]Default-value substitution:Body = branches[body] | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu - Formula 6:
Month Palace = branches[monthPos]Default-value substitution:Month Palace = branches[monthPos] | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu - Formula 7:
Life Index = (monthPos-h+12)%12Default-value substitution:Life Index = (monthPos-h+12)%12 | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu - Formula 8:
Body Index = (monthPos+h)%12Default-value substitution:Body Index = (monthPos+h)%12 | current data: Chinese lunar birth month=7; Birth-hour branch=wu
2. Variables and measurement units used

Zi Wei Dou Shu Calculator: formula, steps, units and verification
zi wei dou shu calculator is designed for a transparent calculation rather than a black-box answer. Zi Wei Dou Shu Calculator: traditional month-and-hour counting rule to identify two foundational palace branches without pretending to generate a complete.
How to use the zi wei dou shu calculator in 5 steps
- Choose the required mode. Select the calculation path that matches the quantity you know and the result you need.
- Enter source values. Use measured, documented or assignment values rather than rounded estimates whenever possible.
- Confirm every unit. The zi wei dou shu calculator converts supported units before formula substitution, so each selector must describe the entered number.
- Run the calculation. Review the displayed formula, normalized values and numeric substitution before accepting the final result.
- Verify the answer. Reproduce the substitution manually and check whether the output is reasonable for the stated assumptions.
Zi Wei Dou Shu Calculator formula and unit checks
The zi wei dou shu calculator keeps source inputs, canonical calculation units and displayed output units separate. This prevents a correct formula from producing a wrong answer because feet were treated as meters, percentages as decimals, or time values as the wrong interval.
For an independent check, copy the formula shown by the calculator, substitute the unrounded canonical values, preserve full precision through intermediate operations and round only the final result. The verified answer should match both the displayed number and its measurement unit.
How to interpret the zi wei dou shu calculator result
A result is useful only when its assumptions match the real problem. Compare the answer with expected ranges, inspect any warning or boundary message, and test a nearby input to confirm that the output changes in the direction predicted by the governing relationship.
The zi wei dou shu calculator provides an educational and planning result. For regulated, medical, structural, financial, laboratory or safety-critical decisions, verify the inputs and method against the applicable professional requirements before acting.
