Getting started
What is Sky & Season?
A site that reads your birth chart — the classical Chinese way of describing the weather you were born into — in plain words. It describes tendencies and good timing, never certainties.
What do I need to start?
Your birth date, the city you were born in, and your birth time if you know it. The free chart takes under a minute and needs no account.
Do I need to know my birth time?
No. Tick “I don’t know my birth time” and we read the year, month and day. If you know it roughly, pick a two-hour window. Only the parts that need the hour stay quiet.
Where should I start reading?
With the two paintings at the top of your chart: your core essence and your life star. Then follow the reading path under them, one step at a time.
Reading your chart
What is a core essence?
The centre of your chart, drawn from the day you were born. There are ten — two for each of the five elements, one bold and one gentle.
Inner Constellation or Classic — which should I use?
Start with the Inner Constellation if the terms are new to you; it tells your chart as a story. Classic shows the traditional chart underneath, with each term explained once. Same calculation, and you can switch any time.
Who are Sky and Season?
The two small spirits who draw the pictures on this site. Season takes the five bold essences and Sky the five gentle ones, so one of their forms matches your core essence.
Is this fortune-telling?
No. We read your chart the way an almanac reads the seasons: what tends to come easily, what takes more effort, and when the timing is kinder. It never claims to know what will happen.
Account and privacy
Is it free?
Your chart is free forever. Sky & Season Plus adds a personal Daily Season each morning and Ask the Sky for real decisions, with a 7-day free trial.
