Tarot vs Bazi
Tarot is a card system that reads the present moment through a spread, reshuffled each session. Bazi (八字) is a Chinese system that computes the Four Pillars from your birth time, revealing a stable pattern — the engine of the 东方MBTI.
Tarot answers "what is happening now"; Bazi answers "who am I." One changes with every shuffle; the other is fixed the moment you are born.
The moment vs the person
Tarot is a tool for reflection on a question or moment. Bazi is a framework for understanding a stable personality and relationship pattern, with a 4,000-year lineage historically used for matchmaking and date selection.
