People, BaZi, and Zi Wei Dou Shu Charts in Baguame
A person in Baguame is a record with birth data. From it, Baguame calculates a Gua number, a BaZi chart, and a Zi Wei Dou Shu chart.
Add a person
- In the sidebar, click People.
- Click Add New Person.
- Complete the fields, and then save.
| Field | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Yes | 3–20 characters |
| Birth date | Yes | |
| Birth time | Yes, or tick I don't know birth Time | Needed for the hour pillar and for Zi Wei Dou Shu |
| Gender | Yes | The gender the person was born with. A wrong choice leads to errors in the analysis |
| Birth City | No | Used for location correction |
| Daylight Saving Time (DST) was active at birth time | No | |
| Don't use Location Correction | No | See below |
| Person Role | No | Helps the AI understand the person's place in the household |

Location correction
By default, Baguame adjusts the birth time to the true solar position, using the longitude of the birth city. This can change the hour pillar. Not all BaZi schools use it. To turn it off, tick Don't use Location Correction.

To open a chart, select a person, and then open BaZi.
The chart contains:

Build a chart without saving a person
- Open the BaZi hub.
- Select a date and time, and then click Build BaZi Chart.
- Optional: To keep the chart, click Save Chart.
A saved chart is free to reopen. Each new unsaved build uses credits.
Compare two charts
Use Compare to analyze two charts for energy compatibility, relationship compatibility, business and partnership, and timing.
Zi Wei Dou Shu
To open a chart, select a person, and then open Zi Wei Dou Shu.
The chart contains twelve palaces with main, supporting, and minor stars, star brightness, and birth transformations. It has a standard and an extended view.
A Zi Wei Dou Shu chart requires a birth time, because the hour decides the Life Palace and the Body Palace. If it is missing, Baguame asks you to add it.
To view a period, use the period selector and choose Decade, Year, Month, Day, or Hour. The stars of that period appear on the chart, and you can request an AI analysis of it.
