LifeSense / Method

LifeSense method and accuracy

This is the trust page for the calculator. It explains what LifeSense calculates, what it labels as uncertain, and why missing chart data should not be covered by fluent wording.

What shows up in the chart

Chart facts are produced by deterministic engines and verified support fields.
City and timezone support fields are resolved through backend lookup before chart calculation.
True solar time is displayed as a calculation basis when the selected method supports it.
Unknown birth time keeps hour-sensitive facts approximate, unavailable, or low-confidence.

Why exact time matters

Exact birth time is required for hour pillar, ascendant, house, Zi Wei palace, and some Moon or period anchors. Missing time should remain visible as a confidence boundary.

What LifeSense calculates

LifeSense computes chart structures across BaZi, Jyotish, Zi Wei Dou Shu, and Western astrology. The public output is a set of named fields, method labels, and availability states.

What LifeSense does not add

Exports do not add generated readings, coaching text, or merged scores. If a required field is missing, the value stays unavailable or low-confidence.

Why this page exists

Search engines, readers, and downstream tools need one stable reference for how the calculator treats time, location, availability, and export boundaries.

Use this guide with the calculator

This guide is meant to help you recognize the fields after the chart is calculated, not to replace the calculator.

Look for these method labels in the result: Deterministic engines, Timezone lookup, True solar time, unknown_time, Chart export.
Before exporting, check the time basis: Exact birth time is required for hour pillar, ascendant, house, Zi Wei palace, and some Moon or period anchors. Missing time should remain visible as a confidence boundary.
If the result labels a field unavailable, approximate, or low-confidence, keep that boundary in your notes.
