What is Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny)?

Bazi, literally Eight Characters, is a Chinese natal chart system over two thousand years old. It maps the year, month, day and hour of birth to four pillars made of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, revealing the Five-Element constitution of a person and the cycles of luck unfolding through life.

What is a Kua number?

Your Kua number is a single digit from 1 to 9 derived from your birth year and gender. It maps you to one of the eight trigrams and identifies four directions favourable to you (for prosperity, health, love, career) and four directions to avoid.

What is Qi Men Dun Jia?

Qi Men Dun Jia, the Mysterious Gates Hidden Stems, is a classical Chinese system used historically by military strategists and statesmen to choose the right time and direction for important actions. Each chart is generated from a precise moment in time and reads the configuration of stars, gates and deities at that instant.

How is this different from Western astrology?

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac and the positions of planets in twelve signs. Chinese metaphysics is built on the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and the lunisolar calendar. The two systems share almost no underlying mechanics. Chinese metaphysics is also explicitly used for action and timing, not only personality description.

Is the Sanctuary app free?

Yes. The core daily reading, Kua directions and basic compatibility are free. Full reports, additional profiles and premium features are available through optional paid unlocks or membership.

Indre Vallorani Sanctuary — Personalised Chinese metaphysics, every day

Indre Vallorani Sanctuary is the only app that brings together the four classical systems of Chinese metaphysics — Bazi (Four Pillars of Destiny), Feng Shui Kua, Flying Stars and Qi Men Dun Jia — into one personalised daily reading, in plain English, for people who are not specialists. Based on 4,000 years of practice that traditionally guided emperors, generals and merchants in East Asia.

You enter your birth date, time and place once. From that single moment the app computes your Four Pillars chart, your Kua number with eight personal directions (best for prosperity, health, love, career, plus four to avoid), and aligns the daily and monthly Flying Stars to your personal energy. Every morning you receive three mantras, a daily reading, and — if you choose — a brief WhatsApp ritual.

What you unlock

Your full Bazi chart: Year, Month, Day and Hour pillars with Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, dominant Five Elements and luck cycles.

Your Kua number and the eight Feng Shui directions personalised to you.

A daily energy reading based on the current Flying Stars and your Bazi.

Three daily mantras for morning, midday and evening, aligned to current energy.

Compatibility reports for partners, children, parents, siblings, business partners — up to ten profiles.

A Qi Men Dun Jia chart for strategic timing decisions.

Optional WhatsApp daily ritual and push notifications at the times you choose.

Why Chinese metaphysics

Chinese metaphysics is the world's oldest continuously-practised decision-support system. It is mathematical, not mystical: every chart is derived deterministically from a birth moment and a calendar. Bazi has guided life decisions in East Asia for over two millennia. Qi Men Dun Jia was the system Zhuge Liang and other classical strategists used to choose the timing and direction of military campaigns. Until now, accessing this knowledge required either years of study or paying €100–€500 per private consultation. Sanctuary computes the same charts automatically and explains them in plain English.
