You enter your birth details. MingPath calculates your BaZi (八字) chart and explains it in plain language. The method and the interpretation are by Daniel Siew.

Step 1: enter your birth details

The free check asks for your name, birth date, birth time, birth place and the time zone you were born in. The birth time is required because the Hour Pillar of a BaZi chart depends on it, and MingPath will not guess it. The time zone list covers Asia, Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Step 2: see your chart and your 2026

MingPath calculates your Four Pillars chart, the Year, Month, Day and Hour pillars, each with a Heavenly Stem and an Earthly Branch. The free check shows how 2026, the Fire Horse year, has been showing up in your chart.

Step 3: tell MingPath what matters to you

If you want the 2027 report, you complete a short personalisation form. You choose one main focus and up to two secondary focuses from six areas: Career & Leadership, Business & Entrepreneurship, Wealth & Financial Decisions, Relationships, Well-being & Personal Balance, and Personal Direction. Your focus changes what the report emphasises. It never changes the chart facts, the timing or the meaning. Your chart decides those.

Step 4: receive your 2027 report

The 2027 MingPath Report is 26 to 27 personalised pages: how 2027 interacts with your chart, the key opportunities and pressures, the conditions of each month and what they favour, the months where conditions are strongest, your personal strategic direction, and three strategic moves selected for you. It is delivered by email within 24 hours of successful payment and receipt of all the information needed to prepare it. The early price is USD 169 until 30 November 2026. From 1 December 2026 the price is USD 199. Read the full terms and refunds page.

Who does what

The method and the interpretation are Daniel Siew's. MingPath calculates your chart from your birth details, then selects the passages from his content library that apply to it. It is not written by hand for each person, and it is not fortune telling. It is not a one-to-one consultation. If you want a conversation, you can book one with Daniel.

Your birth details

Your birth details are used only to calculate your MingPath profile. The form has a separate, optional tick if you would like updates about MingPath reports and releases. Marketing emails carry an unsubscribe link.

What MingPath does not do

  • It does not predict events or promise outcomes.
  • It is not medical, legal or financial advice.
  • It does not replace a personal consultation about a property, a date or a business decision.
