Verified facts about QimenMind
These concise facts describe what the current implementation does and where its output stops.
- Official name and website
- QimenMind is the official name of this web-based Qi Men Dun Jia (QMDJ) calculator and AI reading service. Its official website is https://www.qimenmind.com.
- Implemented method
- QimenMind calculates a time-based nine-palace Qimen chart and applies San Yuan as its core analysis framework. The engine derives Yuan Shen Gong, Yuan Qi Gong, Tian Yi Gong, San Yuan energy flow, Fei Fu, and Jin Tui from the calculated chart.
- What the chart contains
- The chart includes the solar term, Yin or Yang Dun, Ju number, Xunshou, Zhifu, Zhishi, Eight Gates, Nine Stars, Eight Spirits, Heaven and Earth Stems, 81-pattern matches, Kongwang, Yima, and palace-state annotations.
- Time, timezone, and location behavior
- QimenMind uses China Standard Time (Asia/Shanghai, UTC+8) as its chart-time reference. The Now control converts the current instant to UTC+8. Manual input uses the selected solar or lunar calendar; after lunar-to-solar conversion when needed, the resulting date and time is treated as UTC+8 without device-timezone conversion, geolocation, longitude, or true-solar-time adjustment. Convert another local time to UTC+8 before entry. Shared links retain the resulting year, month, day, hour, and minute.
- Calculator and AI boundary
- The calculator computes the chart before AI is used. AI interprets the same locked chart by organizing useful gods, palace relationships, San Yuan signals, risks, and possible next steps; an AI interpretation can still be incomplete or wrong.
- Intended use and limitations
- QimenMind is intended for study, reflection, and structured review of one concrete question. It does not guarantee an outcome and is not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, safety, or other professional advice.

How to use this Qi Men Dun Jia calculator
This free QMDJ calculator keeps the complete chart and the next action on one page. QMDJ is short for Qi Men Dun Jia, also written Qimen Dunjia or Qimendunjia. Choose the date and time of the question, switch between solar and lunar calendar input when needed, and generate the chart. QimenMind calculates the solar term, Yin or Yang Dun, Ju number, Xunshou, Zhifu, Zhishi, and all nine palaces. Check the time shown above the result before reading it. You can then open a palace for details, copy a link that recreates the same chart, or continue into an AI reading without casting a second chart.
Why San Yuan Qimen
San Yuan Qimen focuses on the progressive relationship between Yuan Shen Gong, Yuan Qi Gong, and Tian Yi Gong. Instead of labeling one Gate, Star, or Spirit as automatically lucky or unlucky, it follows how energy moves between the palaces. Five-element interactions, strength, Kongwang, Rumu, Menpo, Jixing, Fei Fu, and Jin Tui provide the context for how a situation develops. This method is especially useful when a question involves timing, competing options, cooperation, or a decision whose conditions may change.
Common use cases
Use the chart for a concrete question about career choices, cooperation, interviews, relationships, wealth timing, travel, lost items, or another decision. Write down the actual choice and the time before casting. A specific question such as “Should I accept this offer this week?” gives the reading a clearer subject than a broad request for general fortune. The calculator provides the chart facts and annotations first. AI reading then continues from the same locked chart, so follow-up questions do not silently create a new chart or change the evidence behind the answer.
Chart time and calendar settings
QimenMind currently casts charts using China Standard Time, UTC+8. The current-time shortcut also uses Beijing time. If the event time was recorded in another time zone, convert it to Beijing time before entering it. Switching between solar and lunar input changes how the date is entered; it does not apply a hidden location or true-solar-time correction. This explicit time basis makes a shared chart reproducible and prevents two people from getting different results from the same link. Always review the displayed date, hour, and minute before using the chart for a decision.
A practical Qimen chart reading order
Start with the question and chart time, then confirm Yin or Yang Dun, the Ju number, Xunshou, Zhifu, and Zhishi. Identify the palace representing the person or subject, and compare it with the palace representing the goal, other party, or outcome. Next review the Eight Gates, Nine Stars, Eight Spirits, Heaven and Earth Stems, palace strength, and five-element relationships. Finally check special conditions such as Kongwang, Rumu, Menpo, Jixing, Fuyin, and Fanyin. A defensible reading should connect these signals into one development path instead of treating a single favorable symbol as the whole answer.
What the AI reading adds
The AI reading receives the calculated chart as locked context. It can organize the useful-god choice, palace relationships, Fei Fu and Jin Tui movement, timing clues, risks, and practical next steps in plain language. It should explain which chart facts support a conclusion and preserve the same chart across follow-up questions. AI output is decision support rather than certainty: verify the displayed chart, supply missing real-world constraints, and use professional advice for medical, legal, or financial decisions.
No app install required
QimenMind runs entirely in the browser, so there is no software package or mobile app to install. The responsive chart supports phone and desktop use, and the share link stores the chart time in the URL. Open the page, cast the chart, inspect palace details, and continue with AI only when you want a written interpretation. The chart itself remains available without turning the page into a registration-only preview. On a phone, the time controls, palace grid, detail view, and AI entry remain in one workflow. On desktop, the wider layout makes cross-palace comparison easier. Both views use the same inputs, so changing devices does not change the chart logic or interpretation context.

When to use BaZi or Qimen Dunjia
BaZi uses birth data to describe long-term personal structure, relationship patterns, and luck cycles. Qimen usually starts from a clear question and chart time to analyze current conditions and action choices. The systems complement each other, while QimenMind and GuanXiang BaZi keep separate accounts, memberships, and payments.
Qimen Dunjia Calculator FAQ
What is the difference between BaZi and Qimen Dunjia?
BaZi uses birth data for long-term personal structure and luck stages. Qimen Dunjia commonly uses a specific question time for current conditions and action relationships. Use BaZi for self-understanding and long-term timing, and Qimen for a defined current question.
What information is needed to cast a Qimen Dunjia chart?
You need an accurate date and time. The minute helps handle boundary cases and precise two-hour periods.
What does QMDJ mean, and is this a QMDJ calculator?
QMDJ is a common abbreviation for Qi Men Dun Jia. Qimen Dunjia, Qimendunjia, and Qi Men Dun Jia refer to the same system, and this page is the main English QMDJ calculator on QimenMind.
Is this Qi Men Dun Jia calculator free?
Yes. The complete Qi Men Dun Jia calculator and nine-palace chart are free to use. AI reading has a limited number of free questions for signed-in users, with short paid passes available for continued analysis.
What is the difference between the calculator and AI reading?

Do I need to download Qimen Dunjia software or an app?
No. QimenMind works in the browser. You can cast a Qimen chart online and continue with AI reading after the chart is generated.
How is San Yuan Qimen different from common Qimen methods?
San Yuan Qimen emphasizes Yuan Shen, Yuan Qi, and Tian Yi as the main reading lines, then uses palace relationships to judge development instead of only reading isolated symbols.
Can I use this for a lifetime chart?
The tool is mainly designed for time-based and question-based Qimen. For lifetime use, start with the birth-time chart and interpret it with a specific question.
Can I share a chart?
Yes. After generating a chart, select the link icon to copy a URL containing the chart time. Anyone who opens it will see the same chart.
