Frequently asked questions
Why Kangxi strokes?
The five-grid method counts strokes as written in the Kangxi Dictionary — using traditional characters and the original form of radicals — so the numbers can differ from everyday stroke counts.
Which grid matters most?
Tradition weighs the Person grid most, then the Total and Earth grids; the Heaven grid comes from the surname and is not judged.
