Chart data guide

LifeSense birth chart data guides

Use these pages when a screenshot or summary is too vague. They explain what each field means, what LifeSense can compute, and what needs exact birth time.

Who these guides help
  • People learning BaZi, Jyotish, Zi Wei, or Western astrology who need field names before interpretation.
  • Users comparing exact-time and unknown-time results who need to know which facts are hour-sensitive.
  • Readers who want to understand LifeSense exports before saving, printing, or taking the data elsewhere.
How the guides add value
  • Each guide connects method vocabulary to the actual fields LifeSense can calculate.
  • Unavailable and low-confidence states are explained as part of the product, not hidden behind generated prose.
  • Every guide links back to the relevant calculator so users can move from explanation to calculation.
