Not sure where to start?
This path suits most people
Four stages. You don't have to study every stage with Xiantang — but if you'd like to walk the whole path with us, we're ready for you.
Read your own chart
Start with the "Zi Wei Dou Shu Beginner Course" — 24 lessons, 25 hours, covering the twelve palaces, the major stars, and the four transformations. By the end you can cast and read your own chart.
Read events, not just charts
The "Zi Wei Dou Shu Intermediate Course" — 25 lessons, 28 hours. Break the habit of reading palaces in isolation and start connecting them. Reach the level of a foundational life-reading practitioner.
Feng Shui · Shifting fortune
The "Zi Wei Dou Shu Advanced Course" — 23 lessons, 25 hours. The Property palace + the Health palace + foundational Feng Shui + foundational Chinese medicine. By the end you can spot Feng Shui problems straight from the chart.
Go deep on a theme
The Marriage palace series, the Career palace, the Void-and-Robbery course, the annual-cycle course — specialize in the theme you care about most. Each course focuses on one specific palace or concept.
