Can I use 8-Zi without a birth time?
You can read fields that do not depend on the hour pillar, but hour-based palaces and fine timing will be limited. Keep the missing value visible rather than inventing one.

Tools and inputs
Which tool should I use for one question?
Use Bazi or Ziwei for birth-chart structure; Liuyao, Meihua, or Qimen can suit a specific current question. Define the question and time range before choosing.
Next step →Reports and limits
Is the AI report a fixed template?
Headings and deterministic charts may have a stable structure, but interpretive prose must bind to the current inputs and calculations. A failed generation should fail closed.
Next step →Can this replace professional advice?
No. 8-Zi is for cultural entertainment and reflection. Medical, legal, financial, and safety decisions need qualified professionals and verifiable evidence.
Next step →Privacy and records
Why show sources and update dates?
They separate calendar references, editorial notes, and traditional interpretation, and show whether an article was rechecked after product changes.
Next step →How much personal information should I include?
Share only what is necessary for the chart or context. Never submit passwords, identity numbers, card details, medical records, or another person's sensitive data.
