Tu Vi 4 on MacOs or Windows

Presentation

Tu Vi is a unique chinese astrology software, which allows in a few clicks to determine the Chinese birth chart of a person. It is the traditional science of Zi Wei Dou Shu.

We enter his name, first name, sex, date and place of birth and then the theme materializes immediately.

Tu Vi then gives:

  • The 4 pillars: which correspond to the signs of the year and the hour (the latter is called the traveling companion) but also for the month and the day.

The 4 pillars are calculated according to the original Chinese sexagesimal calendar. The calculation of the intercalary month responds precisely to traditional indications. It has not undergone Western influences. In addition, Tu Vi automatically corrects the legal time in solar time, thanks to the correction of the geographical offset of the place of birth in relation to the reference meridian and the correction of the historical legal time regime towards solar time.

  • The positions of the 111 stars, according to the time and place of birth of the native,
  • The decades of the native,
  • The position of the sectors according to the time and place of birth,
  • The decade corresponding to the date and place of study, and the positions of the strong years in the decade,
  • The interpretations carried by each astral indicator according to its position on the chart,
  • The positions of the portals according to the date and place of study,
  • The positions of the moving stars according to the date and place of study,
  • The hexagrams of the moment of birth, the decade, the strong year, and the portals, with the meanings relating to the method of the pivots,
  • A great interpretation (for more details see below), a file of several dozen pages.
  • The dates of the phases of the lunation of the day and the date of study,
  • The seasonal calendar of the study date (position in the lunation, position in the Chinese season, the sign of the year),
  • Daily notifications for a pre-selected native (in the configuration window) rendering the sectors revealed by the portals and decade methods.

Yi-King Module

This mod is very powerful.

If you make prints from yarrow stems or pieces, in 6 clicks you immediately get results from the oracle.

Here the pivot method is used to interpret the result more finely.

The Chinese Uranology module :
  • determines the dates of the 4 seasons,
  • restores the day of crossing the meridian at midnight to the Ming Tang of the four stars of Yao (which serve as an indicator for the seasons),
  • graphically displays the transit of the 5 planets in analogical relationship with the 5 elements of the Taoist tradition.

The observation of the 5 planets Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Venus and Mercury made it possible to predict physiological trends linked to them. The speed on the stellar background, the direction of progression, the height on the horizon, the brilliance, makes it possible to qualify these trends.

For further explanations we refer you to the works of Jacques-André Lavier:

  • “Chinese Uranology”, Editions Maloine,
  • “Nei Tching Sou Wen”, Editions Prades.
