Why four systems?
Most fortune sites stick to one method. But each method is good at something different. Saju goes into detail about when things happen, while Thai astrology is strong on your inborn temperament and advice you can use right away. Western astrology is good at pinning down how others see you, and Numerology looks at the big direction of your life.
When all four say the same thing, that's a strong trait. When they disagree, it's a side of you that comes out differently depending on the situation. Crossfate shows you the disagreements too, right there in your results.
Which systems do we use?
We only chose systems with a fixed way of calculating, so we can show you where each result comes from.
Saju
Korea and ChinaSaju, also known as the Four Pillars of Destiny (BaZi in Chinese), turns the year, month, day and hour of your birth into two characters each, for eight characters in all. In Korean it's often called saju palja, “four pillars, eight characters.” Each of the eight characters carries one of five qualities, Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal or Water, and they support or hold each other back.

Thai astrology
ThailandThai astrology grew out of star lore that came over from India and blended with Thai Buddhist culture. Unlike Western star signs, it doesn't go by the month you were born; it treats the day of the week you were born as the most important starting point. That's why people in Thailand often ask someone they've just met what day they were born on.

Western astrology
The WestWhat most people call their star sign is simply where the Sun was when they were born. But the Sun alone can't describe a whole person. A proper Western astrology reading looks at three things together: the Sun, the Moon and the rising sign.

Numerology
The WestNumerology adds up every digit in your date of birth and keeps reducing until it's a single digit. For March 15, 1994, that's 1+9+9+4+3+1+5 = 32, and then 3+2 = 5.

Couple compatibility, too
Once you've seen your results, send a link, and the other person only has to enter their date of birth. The compatibility score, where you click and where you clash: it all opens with one payment. Once one of you unlocks it, you can both see it at the same link. Paid readings aren't available in every country.
Being alike isn't automatically a good thing. Deciding who takes the lead works better when you're different, but how you spend money works better when you're the same. Your compatibility results note, for each area, whether being alike or being different is the better fit.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a reading that uses just one system?
Saju sites read you through Saju only, and horoscope sites through star signs only. Each method has its own strengths, so looking through just one means missing things. Crossfate runs Saju, Thai astrology, Western astrology and Numerology all at once and lays them over each other. When all four say the same thing, it's a strong trait. When they disagree, it's a side of you that comes out differently depending on the situation.
Is it really free?
Your personal reading is free. No sign-up, just enter your date of birth and it's there. There are only two paid options: a compatibility reading for two people and a detailed life timeline report. You see the price before you pay. Paid options aren't available in every country.
Can I still get a reading if I don't know my time of birth?
Yes. Only two things need the time: your Saju hour pillar and your Western rising sign. If you leave the time out, we read everything else and note on screen what's missing.
Why do you ask for my gender?
In Saju, the flow of luck that shifts every ten years is called your Luck Pillars. They run in opposite directions for men and women: forward for men born in a yang year and women born in a yin year, and backward for everyone else. So without knowing your gender, we can't calculate them. If you'd rather not say, you don't have to choose. We'll just read everything except the Luck Pillars.
Can I enter a lunar calendar birthday?
Yes. Just choose Lunar on the input screen. If you were born in a leap month (an extra month the lunar calendar adds every few years), check the leap month box too. We convert your lunar date to the solar calendar behind the scenes. Because we calculate new moons and solar terms directly instead of relying on a conversion table, we can handle a wider range of years.
Is it OK to send my results link to other people?
Go ahead. Your date of birth isn't in the results address. It's a short, randomly generated link, so nobody can work out your birthday just by looking at it. Personal results pages don't show up in search engines either.
How accurate is it?
It's meant for fun. We can't prove that fortune-telling works, either. What we do instead is show, right on the page, which traditional interpretation each reading comes from. Open “How did we get here?” under any result to see the reasoning.
