Cosmology Map

Enter your exact birth date, time and place. The map places your solar-year Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch inside the Tao cosmology sequence, while Astronomy Engine calculates a separate birth-sky layer for the precise moment and coordinates you selected.

Your birth coordinates
Personal Cosmology Map calculation and interpretation are available only with active VoxFati membership. The universal map below remains visible as a reference.

From undifferentiated openness into a unified cosmological principle.
Tai Ji
Polarity becomes relational: Yin and Yang are complementary movements rather than isolated opposites.
Yin / Yang
Your highlighted polarity comes from the Heavenly Stem of your solar-year cycle.
Five Phases · Wu Xing
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water describe transforming phases and their generating / regulating relationships.
Earthly Branch
Your highlighted branch marks the animal associated with your solar-year layer.
Primordial layer
The upper map shows a sequence of increasing differentiation.
Heaven / Earth
The middle layers show polarity, Bagua structure and the Five Phases.
Human expression
The lower cycle connects the map to calendrical worldly expression.

Map Synthesis

Your Astronomical Birth Sky

Calculated separately with Astronomy Engine from the exact date, local time, timezone, latitude and longitude selected above. This layer is not used as a substitute for the traditional Five Phase or Stem/Branch system.

Your Personal Interpretation

A detailed reading of the highlighted map, the traditional Tao layer and the separately calculated astronomical birth sky.

About the Cosmology Map

Cosmology Map is a structured self-reflection tool inspired by Tao cosmological sequences. It keeps traditional calendrical symbolism and modern astronomical calculation visibly separate, so you can see which part of the result comes from each layer.

How to use it

Enter your birth date and exact local birth time. Start typing your birth city and choose one suggestion. The suggestion supplies latitude, longitude and an IANA timezone, which are stored with the reading.

Wu Ji and Tai Yi

Wu Ji is used here as the undifferentiated opening of the diagram. Tai Yi represents unity before the map descends into explicit polarity and differentiated phases.

Tai Ji, Yin and Yang

Tai Ji represents relational polarity. Your highlighted Yin or Yang emphasis is derived from the polarity of the Heavenly Stem in the solar-year layer of this tool.

Five Phases · Wu Xing

Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water are shown as transforming phases. The highlighted phase is the element associated with your Heavenly Stem; the map also explains its generating and regulating relationships.

Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch

The current version calculates the solar-year Stem and Branch with a Li Chun boundary. Around early February the Astronomy Engine Sun longitude is used to decide whether the new solar-year cycle has begun.

Astronomical Birth Sky

Astronomy Engine calculates the actual planetary positions for the exact birth moment and coordinates. These positions are presented as a separate astronomical layer and are not silently converted into Wu Xing categories.

How to read your result

The universal map is visible before calculation. With active membership, your birth data highlights the relevant polarity, Five Phase and Earthly Branch, and a detailed personal interpretation explains the full pattern together with the separate astronomical birth-sky layer.

Zoom and navigation

Use the + and − buttons to zoom. On desktop, drag the map while zoomed. On mobile, use two fingers to zoom and move the diagram without accidentally scrolling the map itself.

Membership, History and Community

Personal calculation is available only with active VoxFati membership. Generated maps and their personal interpretation are saved through VoxFati History and can use the existing History → Community sharing flow when Community posting access is available.
