Bazi Skill Chinese Astrology

If you've ever been curious about traditional Chinese astrology or need to calculate BaZi charts, this skill walks you through the entire Four Pillars analysis process. It prompts for birth details, converts them into the year/month/day/hour pillars using classical lookup tables, then generates a full destiny reading cross-referenced against nine canonical texts like 滴天髓 and 子平真诠. The workflow is methodical: collect info, calculate stems and branches, determine the day master, assess five element balance, identify patterns, and output a structured analysis with career, relationship, and health guidance. It handles lunar calendar conversion, timezone adjustments, and major cycle calculations. Solid reference implementation if you're building astrology tools or just want to understand how these readings work mechanically.
