Where Should a Beginner Start?

Getting Started February 11, 2026

If you are just beginning to explore Chinese metaphysics and the ShenQi platform, it is important not to try to «understand everything at once». We offer three different starting points — depending on your goal.


1️⃣ If you are interested in learning → start with the free lessons

If you want to understand the system and the logic behind the method and see whether this learning format suits you, start with the basic BaZi lessons:

All the lessons are free and provide a systematic understanding without mysticism or fearmongering.

This is the ideal starting point if you want to:

  • understand the fundamentals,

  • learn to read a chart as a system,

  • understand how decisions are made within the ShenQi framework.


2️⃣ If you want practical results → choose Insights

If you are less interested in learning and more interested in a practical tool for everyday life, — start with the Insights section:

Insights — not predictions.
They are navigation tools that help you:

  • understand the rhythms of the year and month,

  • choose more favorable dates,

  • manage your workload,

  • reduce the risks of impulsive decisions.


3️⃣ If your situation is complex → book a consultation

If you have a specific, important question — about relationships, work, relocation, health, or family planning, — it is best to book a consultation right away.

Examples:

  • Thematic BaZi Consultation

  • Fertility Consultation

  • Selecting a Date for a Trip

  • Feng Shui Property Mapping

A consultation — a personalized analysis of your situation that takes into account your birth chart, the current period, and your environmental conditions.


Quick Decision Scenarios

Scenario 1.
«I am simply curious about what this is» → start with the free lessons.

Scenario 2.
«I do not want to study; I need to know when it is best to act» → choose the Personalized Calendar or a BaZi Forecast.

Scenario 3.
«I have a recurring relationship problem» → choose a thematic consultation.

Scenario 4.
«I am planning a move or an important trip» → choose a Date Selection consultation.

Scenario 5.
«I want to incorporate metaphysics into my life gradually» → choose the calendar and activations.


The Key Point

ShenQi — not about «guessing the future».
It is about understanding your circumstances, time, and space — and making more informed decisions.

If you are unsure where to start,— choose the most accessible option: a free lesson or a one-month calendar. It is a safe way to explore the system without becoming overwhelmed.
