Zi Wei Dou Shu, also known as Purple Star Astrology, is a classical form of Chinese astrology that uses your exact birth day, time, and location to create a chart. This chart reveals two layers: Character (described through four distinct Chinese Zodiac Animals) and Fate (described through the placement of stars in various houses or life domains, such as career, health, and relationships).

Zi Wei Dou Shu emerged in its current day form more than 1,000 years ago, though it likely merged with much older forms of astrology from pre-historic West Asia and Persia. Today, it remains one of the major systems of astrology practiced in China and Taiwan, valued for its depth and precision in illuminating a person’s life path.

Daniel Burgess began his journey with Chinese medicine, cosmology, and astrology in 2012 studying with Liu Ming of Da Yuan Circle, a beloved and respected teacher of Chinese cosmology and mantic arts. Through years of study and practice, these teachings have matured into Daniel’s 4 Animals Astrology readings—an integration of Chinese medical and divinatory traditions.

Through his work, Daniel invites clients to recognize the wisdom already alive within them. For him, astrology is not about predicting a fixed future but about revealing the patterns of character and fate that quietly guide and nurture us. His readings offer a mirror for the deepest layers of being, affirming what the heart has often known yet rarely had language to trust.
