Get my free reading ↗Data and interpretation
Birth dates from 1900 onward use actual solar-term boundaries in Japan Standard Time. The year changes at the beginning of spring, not January 1. Unknown birth times on boundary dates leave two candidates. Birthplace corrections, monthly or daily fortunes and auspicious travel directions are not calculated.
Stars and annual charts use Japan Standard Time. Both candidates are shown on solar-term boundary dates.
Before you begin
The annual star does not change on January 1. A January birth normally belongs to the Ki year that began in the previous spring. Monthly stars follow solar terms rather than the first day of a calendar month. Hoshiyori calculates the palace occupied by your birth star in each annual chart and uses its themes for the reading. These positions are not travel or relocation recommendations.

FAQ
Can I use it without a birth time?
Yes. On a solar-term boundary date, both possible stars are shown because the time can change the result. A method using local time outside Japan may have a different boundary.
Is it really free?
Your entire reading costs nothing. Reading guides and using the fortune service never requires ad consent.
Are my inputs or photos saved?
We do not save names, birth dates, photos or results in our database or files. Inputs and results are held temporarily in memory, never placed in URLs, cookies, localStorage or sessionStorage by this site. OpenAI requests use store:false, but that alone does not eliminate provider retention for abuse prevention and safety. Hosting providers may handle IP addresses and other connection data. Our no-storage promise covers reading inputs and results on our own site, not every provider’s records.
