Your date and name are saved only in your browser, so the almanac can recognise you on other pages. We never receive them.

What the portrait is made of

Your zodiac sign comes from the Sun's position on your birthday. It describes how you show up and what recharges you. The sign's element (fire, earth, air or water) hints at your natural pace.

Your life path number adds up the digits of your birth date: month, day and year separately, then the total is reduced to one digit. Master numbers 11, 22 and 33 stay as they are. The life path answers "where am I heading".

Your personal year uses the same method with the current year instead of your birth year. It is a nine-year cycle, from planting in year one to completion in year nine. Knowing your year helps you stop expecting a harvest in a planting season.

Your lunar birthday shows which phase the Moon was in when you were born. In lunar tradition it describes your inner tides: when starting feels easy and when to save your strength.

Talismans follow your birth month: the traditional birthstone and birth flower, plus your Chinese zodiac sign, calculated from the exact Lunar New Year date.

How to use your portrait

The portrait does not predict the future or diagnose anything. It is a mirror for reflection: read it, notice what resonates, and open the detailed pages for the parts you want to understand better. Today's number changes daily, so come back for a fresh rhythm.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to sign up?

No. The portrait is calculated in your browser and the date is stored only on your device.

Why is my Chinese sign different from my birth year?

The Chinese year starts at Lunar New Year, between January 21 and February 20. If you were born before that date, your sign belongs to the previous year.

Can I look up someone else?

Yes, enter their date. It replaces your saved date; enter your own date again to switch back.
