Your body, read like weather.
One birth moment, drawn to astronomical precision. One season, read against it. One interview, answered by you — then a prescription you can actually live: when to sleep, what to eat, how to move.
Begin with your first breath.
Ninety seconds. The place matters — it sets your true solar time.
Three layers, one reading.
Most systems read one signal. We weigh three — and show you the arithmetic behind every number.
The Birth Chart
Eight characters from your birth moment — corrected to true solar time and historical daylight saving — mapped to five organ systems and season-weighted.
Free previewThe Season's Climate
The cosmological weather of your birth year, read against the year you're standing in — six-qi windows that pressure or support your weakest systems.
Unlocks · $19The Interview
23 questions chosen for your chart. Your answers confirm — or re-rank — what the chart proposed, then shape the prescription to follow.
Unlocks · $39Fair question: why would a birth date know anything?
We separate what is checkable from what is traditional — and we built the reading so the traditional parts must survive your own evidence.
Your birth moment is a climate snapshot
True solar time — longitude, equation of time, historical daylight saving — projected onto the sexagenary calendar with solar terms computed from VSOP87 planetary theory, accurate to ±15 seconds. Checkable against any published ephemeris.
Five phases are a language, not a destiny
Like Ayurveda's doshas or the four humors, the five phases compress individual variation into patterns — a hypothesis generator that decides which questions to ask first. It is not measurement, and we never present it as such.
Five Movements, Six Qi — ancient medical meteorology
From the Suwen's yun-qi discourses: each year's climatic keynote, and six ~61-day climate steps — historically applied to epidemic timing. Modern echoes: season-of-birth epidemiology, circadian biology. It answers when your weak system is pressed.
The reading must survive your testimony
Layer 3 weighs your own symptoms at 35% — with veto power: a chart-proposed "Priority" system that you report no symptoms for is demoted two grades. Every score shows its arithmetic, so you can disagree with the weights, not just the output.
The medicine is a day, a plate, a practice.
Diagnosis without prescription is just anxiety. Your Complete report ends in three things you can start tomorrow morning.

Fair questions.
I don't know my exact birth time — is the reading still useful?
Yes. We estimate the hour pillar and mark every conclusion it touches. The year, month and day pillars carry most of the constitutional signal — and your Layer 3 interview re-anchors the reading in what you actually feel.
Is this medical advice?
No. VitalQi reports are wellness and lifestyle insights inspired by traditional East Asian frameworks. We never diagnose, treat, or replace a physician — and the report says so plainly, in more than one place.
Why does the birth place matter so much?
Your pillars are drawn from the sun's actual position at your birth moment — true solar time — not the clock on the wall. The same 2:30 PM in San Francisco and Shanghai produces different charts. We also correct for historical daylight-saving changes.
What exactly do I get to practice?
A daily rhythm clock keyed to your weakest system, a food-therapy plan with recipes, and a Baduanjin sequence dosed to your constitution — taught with video demonstrations and a printable one-pager. If you're pregnant or live with a major condition, the plan automatically becomes still-practice only.
What if the reading doesn't resonate?
Tell us within 7 days and we refund you in full — no interrogation. Fewer than 3% of readers ask, and we'd rather lose a sale than your trust.
Ninety seconds from now, you'll know your weakest phase.
