Step 1: Find out where your Y-Self is. This cell will be your Trigger cell.
This is not a Barnum Statement. In contrast where a Barnum (or Cold Reading) completely solicits owner to fill in details where the decoder starts only with a little open-ended question (eg. "I sense that you are sometimes insecure, especially with people you don't know very well". Source: Barnum (or Cold Reading), Wikipedia.)
It is also worth noting that Zi Wei Dou Shu requires high precision on the birth information input. Any incorrect information will end you up with a chart that does not belong to you. This is especially true with regards to the border-line birth hour such as 5:01am or even 3:05pm. Although the minute difference seems immaterial here but it is significant enough to land you on a completely different chart. This topic has attracted a whole range of debates on how one should determine which birth hour to use. Don't you worry, you can read this Ziwei blog for more better understanding: Should we adjust our birth hour?
