Understanding the ancient Four Pillars calculation method created by Bodhidharma during the Tang Dynasty, which later flourished in Korea as "Dangsaju" (당사주) and became widely used throughout Korean culture.
Dharma Astrology operates on the principle that time itself carries energy. Unlike Western astrology which focuses on planetary positions, this ancient system uses your exact birth time to calculate four fundamental "pillars" that shape your destiny.
Each pillar represents a different aspect of time and corresponds to a specific life phase, revealing how celestial energies influence your journey from birth to old age.
"The moment of your birth captures a unique celestial configuration that influences your entire life journey. By understanding these patterns, you can align with your natural flow and navigate life's challenges with wisdom."
Our system automatically converts your local birth time to Korean Standard Time (KST) for accurate calculations, ensuring precise results regardless of your birth location.
The system converts your birth information into four distinct time pillars, each corresponding to a different life phase:
Each of the four pillars is matched to one of the 12 Celestial Stars based on complex astronomical calculations that Bodhidharma developed during his studies in China.
The final step involves interpreting how your four celestial stars interact to create your unique life pattern and provide guidance for each phase of your journey.
Unlike other systems, Dharma Astrology provides:
Dharma Astrology recognizes that masculine and feminine energies flow differently through life. The calculation method varies based on gender:
Energy flows in ascending order through the life phases, representing the traditional masculine journey of building and achieving.
Energy flows in reverse order, honoring the feminine path of inner wisdom and cyclical growth patterns.
The system accommodates both solar and lunar calendar births:
Standard Gregorian calendar dates are used directly for most Western births.
Traditional lunar calendar dates are converted to solar equivalents for accurate calculations.
•Free Will Matters: Your reading shows tendencies and potentials, but your choices and actions ultimately determine your path.
•Guidance, Not Prediction: Use insights for self-reflection and decision-making rather than absolute future predictions.
•Growth-Oriented: Focus on how you can use this wisdom to become the best version of yourself.
Now that you understand how Dharma Astrology works, discover your unique celestial configuration and the wisdom it holds for your life journey.
