Bazi (four pillars) and Ziwei (purple star) describe the structure you were born with — not what will happen to you. Start with your birth moment; the rest unfolds from there.

星庭 (xīngtíng) points at the Purple Enclosure — 紫微垣, the court of stars around the north pole in classical Chinese astronomy, and the namesake of Ziwei Dou Shu. The vocabulary stays Chinese; the translation is ours.
