Take what you need.

A new angle on yourself. Auspice computes your BaZi (八字) chart free, then reads it with you: Chinese philosophy for self-discovery, not prediction.

Auspice (青鸾信) is a bilingual BaZi app. It computes your Chinese four-pillars chart free, corrected to true solar time, then reads it with you in plain English or Chinese. It treats BaZi as a mirror for self-reflection, not a prediction engine. Built and run by Shan Liu in Vancouver.

Auspice (青鸾信 in Chinese) is a BaZi app for people who want to understand themselves, not have their future told. BaZi, or Four Pillars, is a traditional Chinese framework that reads character and timing from the year, month, day and hour of birth. Auspice computes the chart free and without sign-up, corrects the birth time to true solar time using historical time-zone and daylight-saving records, and flags an hour pillar when the corrected time sits too close to a boundary to call. A paid reading then works through character, career, relationships, money, health and the year ahead, citing only what is in the chart. The calculation method and a dated corrections log are public. Every page is written natively in English and in Chinese. Founder Shan Liu built the engine in Vancouver after AI chatbots kept getting the chart itself wrong.

At the start of 2026 I was stuck: out of work, a startup that wasn't working, and a lot of arguments at home. I tried every AI tool I could find. What actually helped came from the side: BaZi, a traditional Chinese framework. But the chatbots I used to read it kept getting the chart itself wrong. Wrong pillars, confidently delivered, every time. That's arithmetic, not judgment, so I built my own engine and then built the reading on top of it. I still use it most days.
