When Zi Wei Dou Shu Schools Disagree: Three Rules to Check

Audit chart inputs, transformation tables, and reading order before comparing conclusions.

When two Zi Wei Dou Shu readings conflict, compare three layers. First, confirm birthplace, local birth time, calendar type, leap month, and midnight rule. Second, identify the transformation table and whether a claim refers to birth year, ten-year cycle, or annual cycle. Third, ask where each school begins its reading and what question it is answering.

A career reading about long-term working style can differ from a reading about this year's partnership pressure without either being a calculation error. Save both settings screens. Ask each reader for the specific palace, transformation source, conditions, and limits. Then check the real contract and circumstances before making a decision.
