Study
What should I study at university?
Six subjects, ranked against your AsterNym identity — your BaZi Day Master element and your numerology Life Path, adjusted by your Ten God orientation and by how you are best assessed. Each one shows the factors that put it there, and an honest line about what the degree is actually like.
What this reading actually uses
Eight factors across three systems. Every position is computed from your birth moment; every meaning attached to it comes from a tradition, and the page says which.
- Day Master element
- The BaZi element your whole chart is named against, and the heaviest factor in the ranking.
- Life Path
- The numerology figure, mapped to a learning orientation rather than a subject.
- Ten Gods
- Whether you learn by making, applying, absorbing, meeting a standard, or working alone.
- Elemental balance
- Whether you learn by doing, by building in order, by talking it out, or by absorbing the whole.
- Modality
- Whether you start strongly, finish strongly, or move between things.
- Mercury
- The traditional placement for how you take information in — more relevant to studying than your Sun sign.
- Assessment fit
- Coursework, exams, dissertation, lab, seminar or studio — matched to how you actually work.
- Houses 3 and 9
- Learning and higher education, if your birth time is recorded.
