Four Pillars + Purple Star
Free and offline. One profile, two charts: BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu with true solar time, 12 palaces, patterns, 13 readings and compatibility, all on device.
MingJing is a free BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu chart app. No account and no ads: your birth profiles and readings stay on your device, and every result shows how it was calculated.
THREE PROMISES
• Free for good: no in-app purchases, subscriptions or ads
• Local: no sign-up, your birth data never leaves the device, no analytics or tracking
• Transparent: time zone, true solar time, solar-term times, school options and engine versions are shown for every chart
BAZI (FOUR PILLARS)
• Ten Gods, Hidden Stems, Twelve Growth Stages, Na Yin, Void, Conception Pillar, Life and Body Palace
• Ten-year Luck Cycles and yearly pillars, with the start of each cycle to the minute
• Birth city search with 418 cities; time zone and longitude filled in for you, or enter them manually
• True Solar Time with historical daylight saving handled (including China's 1986–1991 DST)
• Solar terms compared by exact instant, so births outside China switch at the same moment as in Beijing
• Unknown birth hour? Get a three-pillar chart
ZI WEI DOU SHU (PURPLE STAR)
• The same profile gives the twelve-palace chart, using the same birth instant, true solar time and late Zi rule as BaZi
• Classic square board: major, auspicious, malefic and minor stars, seven brightness levels, birth-year transformations
• Natal, Decade, Year and Month layers stacked on one board, with a year slider and the flowing stars of each layer
• Long-press any palace to read it as the Life palace, for example the Spouse palace to look at a partner
• Palace details: the four directions, flanking palaces, borrowed stars for empty palaces, the twelve spirits
• Pattern cards with required, bonus and breaking conditions and the classical source
• 13 readings: overview, personality, relationships, career, money, health and more, each line with its source; export all 13 as one PDF
• Ask your chart: questions answered by the on-device Apple Intelligence model, each point citing the palaces, stars and patterns it rests on (shown only on devices that support Apple Intelligence)
• Compatibility: spouse palaces, transformations into each other's chart, branch relations and 30 years of decades in step. Structure only, no score
• Four school options (brightness table, leap month, late Zi hour, new year); everything else uses the mainstream defaults listed on the Basis page
