BaZiFlow

What’s New

The major updates to BaZi, all in one place — new tools, experience improvements, and how far we’ve come since launch.

September 2026

  1. Improved

    Explanations that unpack the reading, not just repeat it

    Term and passage explanations now cover more BaZi, Zi Wei, and Western astrology readings. Reviews check that an explanation adds meaning, stays grounded in the selected passage and chart, and does not simply echo the original answer.

    • BaZi report notes and Zi Wei section explanations bring help closer to the passage you are reading
    • Source matching now tolerates formatting differences, reducing cases where a valid explanation was rejected
  2. Fixed

    More reliable birth-time correction for saved profiles

    Birth-time correction now gives priority to the birthplace time zone and verified city coordinates. This fixes cases where profiles outside China could fall back to the wrong standard meridian and shift the hour pillar when used in readings.

  3. Improved

    Lighter pages and a more comfortable mobile experience

    Guide pages now use pre-rendered content, while shared page data and repeated requests have been reduced. Narrow-screen layouts, mobile inputs, navigation drawers, and report progress checks have also been refined.

  4. New

    A rewards hub with clearer balances and participation rules

    The rewards page brings daily claims, useful-feedback rewards, genuine sharing, and referrals together. You can check reward credits and upcoming expiry; eligible members can also see daily credits and Drops. Reviewed submissions are subject to the published rules, not automatic rewards.

  5. New

    Four more Day Pillar guides and four new compatibility pairings

    Explore Jia Yin, Yi Mao, Bing Chen, and Ding Si in the Day Pillar library. New Rat–Snake, Ox–Rooster, Rat–Rooster, and Ox–Ox guides bring the compatibility library to 34 pairings.

  6. New

    More chart guides — and a shorter path to your own result

    New Ox and Tiger Earthly Branch guides and Rat–Rat and Rat–Tiger compatibility guides join the library. Guide pages now keep a chart shortcut within reach, so you can move directly from learning a concept to checking it in your own chart. Altogether, the compatibility library now covers 30 pairings.

    • The new Earthly Branch guides include quiet six-second visual loops, with still images for reduced-motion settings
    • Article chart shortcuts let you choose BaZi, Zi Wei, Western astrology, or Fusion before casting
  7. Improved

    Readings now say less when the chart cannot prove more

    BaZi Ask, Cast, and relationship readings now check strength, yin and yang, timing evidence, and internal consistency more strictly. Unsupported details are repaired, shortened, or turned into a clarifying question instead of being filled with a generic story.

    • Relationship readings no longer extend current-year evidence into invented later-year predictions
    • Similar questions across different charts must lead back to the facts of each chart, reducing repeated narratives
    • Messages that indicate immediate danger receive a safety-first response before any reading, without using Credits or consultation limits
  8. Fixed

    Subscription returns now show the verified outcome

    Canceling checkout is now labeled as canceled, and a success screen verifies the checkout session before saying that payment or Credits were received. If confirmation is still pending, you can check again without starting another purchase.

    • Canceled, pending, verified, signed-out, and failed checks now have distinct messages
    • The return link takes you back to the report you came from without placing private birth details in the payment URL

August 2026

  1. Improved

    Annual and 10-year luck readings are easier to act on

    Annual readings now show the shape of all twelve months, accept the same quick birth input used elsewhere, and keep preparing an unlocked report in the background with a visible status. A decision-first view is also rolling out in the 10-Year Luck Calculator alongside the professional explorer.

    • Monthly curves use the real scoring engine and a fixed 0–100 scale, so small differences are not exaggerated
    • When a background report is ready, its saved-report link appears without making you restart the reading
    • The decision view turns the current cycle into a recommendation, a chart-based reason, a next action, and a rule for adjusting it
  2. Improved

    Your chart and reading place now follow you

    When you are signed in, a chart cast on the public BaZi page now saves automatically and becomes the current chart for Ask, Cast, and other tools. Long readings also remember the heading and position where you stopped across BaZi, Zi Wei, Western astrology, and Fusion.

    • Guest charts remain temporary and are not silently added to an account
    • Resume prompts return you to a meaningful reading position, even when the page length has changed
    • Paid reports can now be sent as a PDF or downloaded directly to your device
  3. Improved

    Your chart now starts with the answer — and is easier to share

    BaZi results now open with a personal, rule-derived conclusion and the chart evidence behind it, before leading you to the deeper chapters. Sign in from a preview and you return to the same reading spot. You can also create privacy-minded share cards for BaZi, Zi Wei, Western astrology, and cross-system readings. Your exact birth time and place stay off the image.

    • A clearer first read: strength, dominant force, one piece of chart evidence, and the questions the full reading will answer
    • Sign-in returns you to the part of the report you were reading
    • Download or share chart cards through X, LINE, Facebook, or your device’s share sheet
  4. Milestone

    One FatumFlow workspace, four ways to read your life

    BaZi, Zi Wei Dou Shu, Western astrology, and cross-system comparison now live in one workspace, with a persistent system switcher and shared birth details. The Japanese experience has also moved into the same FatumFlow site, so charts and saved readings stay together.

    • Switch systems without leaving your workspace
    • Recent birth profiles can be reused instead of entered again
    • Japanese pages, accounts, charts, and saved readings now live on the main site
  5. New

    Daily Credits now turn unused days into Drops

    New Clarity memberships can call on 300 Credits each day when a reading needs them. If that day’s grant is not used, it becomes Drops instead — a 30-day balance reserved for Luck Cycle, Annual, and Life Melody readings. Credits and Drops stay separate, so the balance always shows what each one can open.

    • Complete readings now follow a simpler 150-Credit scale; individual chapters are 50 Credits
    • Unused daily grants become Drops for three deeper, long-form readings
    • Existing members keep the terms of the plan they already joined
  6. Improved

    Stop a reading without losing credits

    You can now stop a BaZi report while it is preparing, writing, or reconnecting. If a paid chapter has not been delivered, its credits are returned and the unfinished unlock is removed automatically — so stopping does not leave you with a charge and no reading.

  7. Improved

    Birthplace accuracy now carries across every BaZi tool

    Annual readings, compatibility, Life Melody, Life Curve, Life Simulator, and synastry now use the same verified birthplace picker. This lets true solar time correct charts that would otherwise shift to the wrong hour pillar — especially in western China and locations far from a time-zone meridian.

  8. Milestone

    Zi Wei Dou Shu and cross-system readings arrive

    You can now cast a free Zi Wei chart, read its deterministic foundations, explore today, the year and major life periods, and ask questions from the same chart. A new cross-system reading then compares BaZi and Zi Wei evidence — showing where they agree, where they differ, and what each system can actually support.

    • Free Zi Wei natal chart with palace, star, transformation, and strength context
    • Dedicated Today, Annual, Major Period, and Ask experiences
    • BaZi × Zi Wei comparison for natal themes, timing, and daily guidance
  9. Improved

    Report chapters are easier to find — especially on mobile

    Your report now shows a compact chapter list that expands each section right where you are. It is easier to see what you own, what is available next, and move through a long reading without losing your place.

  10. New

    Zodiac compatibility now works even if you do not know the signs

    Enter two birthdays and the compatibility finder works out both Chinese zodiac signs for you. Ten new pairing guides also complete the Six Harm and Punishment families, while a new Twelve Earthly Branches guide explains the hidden stems, seasonal timing, and structure behind every sign.

  11. Improved

    Chart strength now responds to clashes and combinations

    Day Master strength no longer treats the pillars as isolated ingredients. Clashes that weaken roots, stem combinations, and branch harmonies now enter the same calculation used across your chart and reports — producing a more structural, less mechanical reading of strength and favorable elements.

  12. Improved

    Clearer plans, with prices shown right where you decide

    Membership is now two straightforward plans, and every paywall shows the subscription price side by side with paying for just this one reading — so you can compare before you commit.

  13. Improved

    Reports recover faster if your connection drops

    If report generation gets interrupted — a weak signal, a locked phone — it now picks back up in seconds instead of starting over, and sign-in on mobile is noticeably quicker too.

  14. New

    Tell us if a reading missed the mark

    Most results now let you flag whether a reading felt useful — and if not, why. It helps us fix the parts that don’t feel like you.

  15. New

    Pick a lucky day — for your wedding, move, or big meeting

    A new Date Selection tool weighs your chart against three traditions — the Chinese almanac, Six Yao, and Western void-of-course — to help you choose the right day for what actually matters to you.

  16. Improved

    Day Pillar guides go deeper

    Every Day Pillar article now covers far more than the basics — strengths and growth edges, wealth and money, health and vitality, how a birth season changes the reading, and a compatibility-at-a-glance table. Plus a new illustrated card opens each article, and a brand-new Ten Heavenly Stems guide ties the whole series together.

    • New hero card for every Day Pillar with a hand-drawn Five-Element illustration and share button
    • New “Ten Heavenly Stems” guide — the five elements, yin/yang and what your day stem says about you
    • Each pillar now covers wealth, health, the four seasons, and compatibility
  17. Improved

    Buy the reading you want, directly

    Newer accounts can now purchase individual readings directly at the moment they need them — no unused credits to keep track of.

  18. New

    Your life as a song — now in four styles

    Life Melody now writes your chart as four different songs, each with its own words and a short prose telling of your story. Same life, four ways to hear it.

    • A storytelling folk ballad — a quiet, cinematic retelling.
    • An anthem — the big, cathartic chorus of your comeback.
    • A late-night soul — an intimate letter to yourself.
    • An atmospheric piece — your whole life as a soundscape.
  19. Fixed

    Own the luck report? It just opens

    If you’ve unlocked your Luck Cycle report — or you’re on the annual plan — the key-year details now open straight away, instead of asking you to unlock again.

  20. Fixed

    Email sign-in links work more reliably

    We added a quick confirmation step before email sign-in completes, so security scanners are far less likely to use up your one-time link before you do.

  21. Improved

    Getting started with Today is clearer

    New entry cards and a simpler setup path make it easier to start your daily rhythm and see what it can do for you.

July 2026

  1. Improved

    Faster sign-in, and cancel anytime

    Signing in now opens right where you are — no page jump. And if you’re on a subscription, you can cancel it yourself from your account, no need to contact us.

  2. Improved

    A faster, fresh new look

    The homepage now loads faster and wears a new logo. Same site, quicker first impression.

  3. New

    Today now tells you what to do — and what to skip

    Every day on /today comes with concrete do’s and don’ts drawn from your own chart, not generic advice.

  4. New

    Ask a quick question, get an instant read

    A new casting ritual lets you ask one specific question and get a fast, focused answer — press and hold, and it reads the moment you asked.

  5. New

    Today — a page that changes every morning

    A new /today page reads the day against your own chart: three short lines to hold onto, what the day is actually asking of you, and which two-hour window to use. Check in with a tap and it starts remembering — including what you wrote the last time this same day came around.

    • Your check-in history is free forever and always yours to read.
    • Not signed in? /today still shows the shape of the day for everyone.
    • The old workspace link is now called “Chart details” — same page, same address, clearer name.
  6. New

    From daily to weekly and monthly

    Today now zooms out too — a weekly recap and a monthly outlook join the daily read, so you can see the pattern, not just the moment.

  7. Fixed

    Reports finish more reliably

    Fixed a handful of issues that could interrupt report generation for signed-in and paying users — reports now recover automatically instead of getting stuck.

  8. New

    Choose your reading’s voice

    Pick from four writing styles for your reports — from warm and encouraging to plain and direct, plus a Western-astrology framing for readers more familiar with that language. Signed-in preferences follow you across every device.

  9. Improved

    Saved reports, one tap away

    Reopen any report you’ve unlocked straight from the top of the page, and export it to keep or share — no re-unlocking, nothing lost.

  10. Improved

    Smoother on mobile

    Faster, more stable report loading, tidier sharing panels, and fixes for deep links that used to jump to the wrong place.

  11. New

    Life Melody — your chart as a theme song

    Turn your BaZi chart into a personal theme song, then share it as a short vertical video that moves with the music.

  12. New

    New relationship readings

    Compare two charts with dedicated tools for compatibility, synastry, and relationship timing — each written to be honest, not just flattering.

  13. Improved

    Rebuilt 10-Year Luck Calculator

    Clearer luck cycles, richer interaction, and an honest read of where you are in each decade — no more cycles that quietly drop to zero at the edges.

June 2026

  1. Improved

    Cleaner reports in every language

    Japanese readings no longer leak stray Chinese, English reports read naturally without raw pinyin, and we fixed truncation and garbled characters.

  2. Improved

    More consistent element analysis

    Favorable and unfavorable elements are now judged by a single climate-aware engine, so readings stay consistent across every tool.

  3. Improved

    Membership status, everywhere

    Your membership now shows consistently across the whole site, so your plan and perks are always in view.

May 2026

  1. Milestone

    FatumFlow goes live

    We launched with four interpretation algorithms — the same chart, cross-checked by four engines that range from pure classical rules to full AI. All of them draw on four foundational classics: Yuanhai Ziping, Sanming Tonghui, Ditian Sui, and Qiongtong Baojian.

    • Deep Inference Engine ★ — a rule engine derives structure, useful gods and symbolic stars; AI only polishes the wording. (Our default.)
    • Hybrid Synthesis Engine — classical source text first, then rewritten by AI into a dense, sectioned report.
    • AI Insight Engine — reads your chart data and writes the interpretation directly.
    • Classical Rule Engine — pure classical Ziping rules, with no AI in the loop.
