✨ What it does

🌏 13 systems, 1 input	One birth moment → every chart. Type a city and lat/lon/time zone fill in (Taiwan historical DST applied); optional true solar time for the 干支 systems.
🎯 Real astronomy, exact to the minute	Planets at the exact birth instant, true equinox of date (ephem); all 24 節氣 to the minute; six house systems validated against Swiss Ephemeris to <0.006°.
🔍 Every chart is auditable	Each cast lists its reasoning: every term of the 八字 旺衰 score, the 六壬 course-type rule used, the 奇門 遁/元/局 derivation, every +/− of a 擇日 score. Cross-validated in tests against Swiss Ephemeris, x-iztro (iztro), kinliuren, kinqimen, lunar-python — the whole 518,400-chart 紫微 input space matches iztro.
🧾 八字 full sheet	十神 · 藏干 · 納音 · 空亡 · 神煞 · 十二長生 · 胎元命宮 · 起運交運 · 刑沖合會 · 稱骨 · 黃曆, an auditable 旺衰 / 用神 / 調候 / 格局 analysis, 大運 → 流年 → 流月 drill-down.
🌟 紫微	36 stars + x-iztro brightness, 雜曜, 格局; 閏月 / 晚子時 conventions; 大限 → 流年 panel (四化落宮, 流曜, 歲前/將前).
🧑‍⚖️ Synthesis 綜合會診	One question → all 13 systems, each with its own rule-based verdict and reason, agreement/conflict tallied, then one reading that explains why traditions differ.
📅 Date picking 擇日 · 今日運勢	Purpose (結婚/開業/搬家/簽約/手術/出行/求財) + range → every day scored from 黃曆, 八字 流日 (沖日柱/歲破/月破/空亡/神煞), 紫微 流日四化, 奇門 值使 + 吉方, 小六壬; calendar view, best 時辰 per day.
🗣️ Readings in your language	中文 / English / both, streamed token-by-token. Ask a question and the prompt leads with the facts that bear on it. Runs fully offline (facts digest) with no API key.
🪐 Western stack	6 house systems · transits · secondary & solar-arc progressions · Solar & Lunar Returns · planet-return timelines.
💞 Relationships & forecasts	Synastry bi-wheel · composite · Davison · 2–8-person matrix · cross-tradition annual report · multi-year heatmap with turning points · two-person arc.

Rules: docs/love.md.
🩺 Specialist readers 專科	Five more one-topic readers on the same skeleton — career 事業 (官殺・提綱, 官祿宮, 十宮・土星, 第十 bhāva + a 事業方向 sheet), wealth 財運 (財星・財庫 opened by 流年沖, 財帛宮, 二宮・木星 + 財性 sheet), health 健康 (五行分布→臟腑, 疾厄宮, 六宮 + 體質 sheet; never medical advice), study 學業 (印星・文昌學堂, 父母宮・昌曲, 九宮・水星 + 學習型態／科系 sheet), family 家庭 (年柱父母宮・時柱子女宮・子女星, 田宅宮, 四宮・月亮 + 六親 sheet).

🧩 Features in depth

Charts 命盤

• Each system renders its own visual: the circular 星盤, the 南印度 rāśi chart, the 七政星盤, the 4×4 紫微 board, the 八字 sheet, hexagram / 納甲 tables, the 奇門 九宮, the 六壬 天地盤.
• 八字: exact-節氣 pillars, 十神 · 藏干 · 納音 · 空亡 · 神煞 · 十二長生, 胎元/命宮, 起運/交運 to the hour, 刑沖合會, 稱骨, 黃曆 (二十八宿, 建除, 宜忌…), an auditable 旺衰 / 用神 / 調候 / 格局 analysis, 大運 → 流年 → 流月 drill-down, 流日/流時.
• 紫微: 36 stars with 十二長生 / 博士十二神 per palace, brightness 廟旺利陷, 雜曜 and 格局 (x-iztro), 大限 → 流年 (大限/流年四化 + landing, 流曜, 歲前/將前十二神).
• 大六壬: all nine course types (賊克/比用/涉害/遙克/昴星/別責/八專/伏吟/返吟) with 十二天將. 奇門: 拆補 or 置閏, 值符/值使, 九星八門八神, 吉方.
• Western: six house systems; the wheel draws cusps as spokes, planets on an inner ring, aspect lines graded by orb.

Readings 解讀

• The model reads only the deterministic facts (the reasoning_chain is the audit trail). With a question (focus), the prompt leads with the facts that bear on it — 八字 本題十神, 紫微 本題宮位三方四正 + 四化, 六爻 用神, Western/Jyotiṣa 本題宮位, 奇門 用神落宮, 六壬 三傳天將 — plus that tradition's own rule-based verdict.
• 中文 / English / both; streams over SSE (real Anthropic stream when keyed, chunked facts digest on mock).

Synthesis 綜合會診 · Dates 擇日

• /synthesis: every system's verdict on one question side by side, tally, consensus and conflicts, panel reading. The table needs no LLM.
• /zeri: each day in a range scored from 黃曆 宜忌/建除/宿/神煞, 八字 流日 (喜用, 沖日柱 −4, 歲破 −3, 月破 −2, 旬空, 合日支, purpose 神煞), 紫微 流日四化 into the purpose palace, 奇門 值使 + 吉方, 小六壬 — every term listed; best days get 12 scored 時辰. /day is today's outlook. Rules: docs/zeri.md.

Overlays, relationships, forecasts

• Transits (any day, time slider ±5 years) · Progressions (secondary / solar-arc, directed-to-angle ages) · Solar & Lunar Returns with highlights and the year's key transits.
• Synastry bi-wheel + cross-aspects, composite, Davison (with its own returns timeline); group matrix (2–8 people) + group composite.
• Annual report across Solar Return, 八字流年/大運, 紫微四化, Jyotiṣa daśā; multi-year heatmap with trend line and typed turning markers; two-person arc comparison.

✅ Tests

pytest -q     # 165 tests

Every system casts · reference 節氣 instants (USNO, 台北市曆象表) · planets and six house systems vs Swiss Ephemeris · the 八字 sheet vs a published 排盤 · 旺衰/起運/真太陽時/geo-DST · 紫微 placement, 長生/博士, 大限 vs x-iztro · 六壬 四課/天將/課體 vs kinliuren · 奇門 局/值符值使/盤 vs kinqimen · 四柱/節氣/大運 vs lunar-python · transits, progressions, returns, synastry, group, annual · focus extraction, synthesis, 擇日, CLI, MCP.

🗃️ Datasets（no LLM needed）

python scripts/ziwei_fullspace_check.py                                  # native 紫微 vs x-iztro, all 518,400 charts — 0 mismatches

Output is gzipped JSONL under data/ (git-ignored; ≈ 350 MB / 190 MB).
