Sanctuary vs the 东方MBTI
Sanctuary is an astrology app that combines an AI chatbot with on-demand human astrologers for daily readings and live sessions. The 东方MBTI (DecaSoul) computes ten archetypes — the Ten Souls (十神) — from the Four Pillars (八字) of your birth time.
Sanctuary answers "what does today mean for me"; the 东方MBTI answers "who am I, and what kind of relationship or career fits me." One is a conversation; the other is a map.
Conversation vs map
Both are birth-data-driven, but Sanctuary optimizes for daily engagement through AI-generated astrology, while the 东方MBTI optimizes for self-knowledge through a transparent, open-source calculation with a 4,000-year Chinese lineage.

Frequently asked
No. Sanctuary gives Western-astrology guidance through AI and astrologers; a Bazi reading computes your Four Pillars and Ten Souls — a stable personality framework rather than a daily forecast.
Use Sanctuary if you want a daily chat about your day; use the 东方MBTI if you want a stable read of who you are and how you relate to others.
