The Story Behind Adestiny

🧭 Why I Built Adestiny — Fulfilling a Vision of Automated BaZi Profiling

The idea behind Adestiny didn’t begin with me — it began with the vision of the late Master Richard Tan.

Richard Tan was not only a qualified Chartered Accountant, but also a deeply analytical thinker with a lifelong passion for BaZi, the Chinese art of destiny analysis based on the Four Pillars. Over decades, he studied, practiced, and refined his understanding of BaZi — applying both traditional wisdom and logical precision to make sense of this intricate system.

🧠 A Vision to Make BaZi Accessible

Richard's vision was clear:
To fully automate the process of analyzing a person's destiny, without compromising the depth or integrity of the art.

He believed that BaZi, while complex, could be broken down into structured logic — something a computer could process. And with the right design, this could be turned into a tool that offers clarity and insight to anyone, anywhere in the world.

💻 Turning Vision into Code

With Richard’s guidance, I was able to code the full process — from a person’s birth particulars (date, time, and location) to a complete BaZi report, generated as a PDF document. Every layer of analysis — from the Four Pillars to the Ten Gods, Luck Pillars, Element Balances, and beyond — was mapped into logical steps, formulas, and rules.

It was a true collaboration between tradition and technology:
Richard brought the knowledge, and I brought the code.

Together, we set out to build Adestiny — a website that would offer automated BaZi life profiling with accuracy, consistency, and deep respect for Chinese metaphysics.

🌐 What Adestiny Offers

Today, Adestiny provides:

• A free BaZi calculator and tools for exploring your own chart
  
• In-depth PDF reports for those seeking detailed life profiling
  
• A growing set of interactive tools (like our time-of-birth derivation assistant)
  
• This blog — where I’ll share case studies, BaZi concepts, and insights from both tradition and technology
  

🙌 For the Curious and the Reflective

If you're someone who:

• Has always been curious about your destiny or life cycles
  
• Finds meaning in patterns and timing
  
• Wants to understand yourself and others more deeply
  
• Or simply respects the beauty of a centuries-old system made modern...
  

Then Adestiny is for you.

🕯️ In Memory of Master Richard Tan

This site stands as a tribute to Master Richard Tan — whose clear thinking, lifelong dedication, and unwavering belief in the power of BaZi continue to guide this project.

It is my honor to carry on his vision.
