Why is my sidereal sun sign different from my normal one?

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which is tied to the seasons and starts at the spring equinox. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is tied to the actual constellations. The two have drifted about 24 degrees apart since they were aligned, so roughly four people in five get a different sign in each. Neither is wrong; they measure different things.

What is a BaZi day master?

In Chinese BaZi, your birth is written as four pillars of two characters each, covering the year, month, day and hour. The heavenly stem of the day pillar is the day master, and it stands for you. It is one of ten: a yin or yang form of wood, fire, earth, metal or water. Everything else in the chart is read in relation to it.

Do I need my exact birth time?

No, but it unlocks about half the reading. Without a time you still get your Sun in both zodiacs, your life path, your day master and your year animal. With a time and a place you also get your rising sign, your exact Moon and birth star, your Human Design type and bodygraph, and your Gene Keys.

Is Six Mirrors free, and does it store my birth details?

It is free and needs no account. Your birth date, time and place are computed in your own browser and stay there. The only thing sent anywhere is a one-way fingerprint of the birth moment so that charts can be counted; it carries no name, no email and no way to reach you.

What does it mean when several systems agree?

The six traditions share no history and no mathematics. When two or more of them independently point at the same theme in one birth, Six Mirrors names that as a thread and shows every fact it rests on. The convergence is the finding, rather than any single system's verdict.

The smallest motor, and the one that decides what you believe you are worth.

Defined Heart

You have consistent willpower and can make a promise and keep it by decision alone. Roughly a third of people have this, and they often do not realise the other two thirds cannot simply choose to have willpower.

Open or undefined Heart

Willpower is inconsistent, and that is correct rather than weak. An open Heart that keeps making promises to prove itself ends up exhausted and quietly ashamed, which is the most common suffering in this centre.

The not-self theme: Proving your worth. Making commitments you cannot reliably deliver, in order to feel like enough.

What an open Heart eventually becomes

An open Heart eventually stops bargaining for worth, and becomes genuinely wise about what things and people are actually worth.

This is the part most people miss. An open centre is not a deficiency to be fixed. It is where you take in and amplify other people, which is uncomfortable for years and then becomes the thing you understand better than anyone with it defined.

The gates of the Heart

4 of the 64 gates sit in this centre. Each is also a Gene Key, read as a Shadow, a Gift and a Siddhi rather than as a mechanic.

Centres, gates and channels come from the same tables the bodygraph is drawn from. Human Design was assembled in 1987; Six Mirrors reads it beside five older systems and shows where they agree.
