New feature: Luck Pillar diagnosis

Some of you may have already noticed a new feature in our iOS and Android apps: Luck Pillars. This feature helps users quickly assess the effectiveness of a specific Luck Pillar for a particular BaZi Chart.

We applied the logic from our Qi Analysis module, in which Stems and Branches are classified into six significant “gangs,” each labeled with a level of usefulness. We use six gangs (or Elements) because the Earth Element is divided into Dry and Wet to achieve better accuracy.

When you open Luck Pillars in horizontal view, you will notice red and green thumbs (please note that you will need a premium subscription for this).

A red thumbs-down indicates that those particular Stems and Branches are not particularly helpful, mainly because the static Chart is already heavy on those Elements.

A green thumbs-up indicates that those particular Stems and Branches are helpful, primarily because the static Chart lacks those Elements.

Undecided grey thumbs mean our algorithm can’t classify whether they are helpful, so the Chart requires further analysis.

Please note that this is a broad approach toward Luck Pillar analysis; it should be taken with a grain of salt, so don’t make important life decisions based purely on this orientational information. In the case of Special Charts (which are rare), this approach might not be that useful.

That’s all. We hope you enjoy this new feature, which we find very handy, and that your feedback is very positive so far.

We are working on one more feature, which is a bit more complex, so expect more from us soon.
