Zi Wei Dou Shu Astrology

Zi Wei Dou Shu, also known as Zi Wei Astrology, is a widely used system of fate calculation in China, but is is not well known in the West. It is surprisingly accurate in describing the personality of a subject's chart.  Zi Wei (the Purple Emperor) is the leading star when making a chart. Dou Shu means calculation.

Zi Wei Astrology has been growing in popularity in the last 20 years.  Few teach this subject, preferring to keep it mysterious.  The American Feng Shui Insitute is finally teaching this course with the hopes of bringing a clearer understanding of Chinese Astrology to the general public.

Zi Wei Dou Shu is a Chinese astrology that describes your past, present and future in twelve life categories, such as Career, Spouse, Travel, etc.

Zi Wei Dou Shu involves numerous calculations to locate stars (more than 100 of them, and a complex system of interpretation based on a lifetime reading, ten-year and one-year periods of time.

This method was developed in the Song Dynasty, about 1000 years ago.  It is still popular in China today.
