Traits
Traits turn your four pillars and five-element balance into leanings for each life area: love, work, money, and more. Each row is a tendency scored by the chart engine, not a quiz result or a horoscope line.

Your chart, one section at a time
What you see on My Chart
The Traits section shows the life areas as a row of marks. Tap one to see its trait rows, each with a bar for how strongly that pattern shows in your chart. The faint line across each bar is an even share: what the trait would read for a chart with no leaning at all. Past the line is more than your share, and short of it is less. Every trait uses the same line, so two traits, or two people, can be compared. Tap a label for a plain explanation.
Life areas we score
Work
How you tend to work, build, lead, or want to be seen: the shape your own ambition takes.
Money
How you tend to handle value, risk, security, and timing: habits that make sense once you see the pattern.
Friends
How you tend to connect with friends and community: your particular way of showing up for people.
Pressure
The pressure patterns that show up when you are under strain. Naming them is the first step to easing them.
Health
How your energy and recovery tend to run. Not medical advice.
Family
How care, boundaries, and emotional tone tend to show up around home: patterns, not verdicts on your relationships.
Identity
How you tend to know yourself: what you grow toward, what you hold onto, and what you need things to add up to. Patterns, not a verdict on who you are.
How we calculate
Every life area has five rows, one for each element: wood, fire, earth, metal, water. Most rows blend two numbers from your chart. One is how much of that element your chart holds. The other is how strongly the matching ten god (a role such as opportunity, expression, structure, challenge, or support) shows for your day element. Each area mixes the two in its own proportions. So the same element can lean more on one number in Work (where fire reads as “Visibility”) and on the other in Love (where fire reads as “Warmth”).
Where the second number is something else
- Health uses no ten god either. All five of its rows pair an element with your yin and yang balance or the strength of your day element. Rest and recovery are read from how loaded the chart is, not from a role.
- A few rows in other areas do the same: Love’s Emotional depth, Friends’ Fun and Understanding, and Family’s Sensitivity all take yin or yang as their second number. Work’s Strategy takes whichever is higher, support or strength.
Adjustments on top
More rows carry one than you might expect: every row of Pressure and Family, plus two in Money and one in Health. There are three kinds:
- A small lift where the element is on your helpful list. This applies to Health’s Recovery, and to Money’s Security when your wealth element, the one your day element manages, is helpful to you. Wealth is read from your own day element, so it is a different element for different people.
- A shift where the element is on your caution list. The direction depends on what the row measures. Money’s Risk goes down when your wealth element is a caution element, because caution there means less appetite for risk. Pressure rows go up: a caution element is exactly where stress is likely to show. So a higher number is the honest answer, not a better one.
- Family alone adds a lift when the element matches your month pillar, the pillar classical saju ties to upbringing and household.
Every number here is worked out from your chart. The words around them, the row descriptions and the summary sentence, are written to explain those numbers, from nothing else.
What kind of reading this is
These are five-element temperament scores. The idea that each element has a character of its own is classical. Every row is built on it: the more of an element your chart holds, the higher its rows. That is not all of how a practitioner reads a person. A traditional reading starts from your day element and the ten gods around it. It treats too much of one element as a strain as often as a gift. So a high row means “this runs strong in you”, not “this is better”.
The element shares here count the stems hidden inside each animal, not only the eight characters you can see. That is what your chart actually holds. Element Balance on My Chart counts only the eight you can see, so that it matches the cards above it. The two can differ by a few points.
These are leanings to help you understand yourself, not instructions about people or decisions.
