I don’t know my birth time

Time basisClocks follow your time zone’s standard meridian, so the Sun at your birthplace can run minutes ahead of or behind the clock. Longitude correction fixes that offset; true solar time also adds the seasonal equation of time (±16 min). Rat-hour rule (23:00–00:59)Only matters if you were born between 23:00 and 23:59. Under the late rule the Day pillar stays on the same day and the hour stem follows the next day. Most modern practitioners use the early Rat-hour rule.

Why does birth time need correcting? ▾

Solar time, not clock time. In BaZi the hour pillar, and the day pillar near midnight, follow where the Sun actually was. Clock time is set for a whole time zone, so at your birthplace the Sun may cross the meridian earlier or later than clock noon. We use the longitude of your birthplace to correct for that, and can also add the equation of time (from −14 min in February to +16 min in November).

Daylight saving time is taken from your browser’s time zone database for the birth date, so summer-time births are converted to standard time automatically.

Whichever basis you pick, the “Pillars under each time basis” panel shows every combination side by side. If they differ, choose the one closest to the time on your birth certificate.

About runes

The Elder Futhark is the oldest runic alphabet, used by Germanic peoples from about the 2nd to the 8th century. Its 24 letters each have a name and meaning — Fehu for wealth, Uruz for strength, Raidho for journeys — and modern rune casting reads them as symbols for reflection.

How it works

Fate Hall draws runes like stones from a pouch, upright or reversed, for a single rune or a three-rune spread. Each rune shows its name, sound, traditional meaning and reversed meaning. You can also enter runes you have drawn yourself.

A note on history

The runes were above all an alphabet; their use for divination today owes much to 20th-century writers. Fate Hall presents them in that spirit, as a meaningful set of symbols rather than ancient prophecy.

The three aettir

The 24 runes fall into three families of eight, each named after a Norse god: Freyr’s aett, beginning with Fehu; Heimdall’s aett, beginning with Hagalaz; and Tyr’s aett, beginning with Tiwaz. Readers often note which family dominates a draw, as each has its own broad theme.
