Use lunar calendar to plot Bazi chart?

This is a very strange question that I received recently for my Bazi application.

The answer is "No".

The next question is likely to be "Will you implement Bazi charting feature based on lunar calendar?"

The answer is "Never in a billion years."

Imagine you are solving mechanics questions using Newton's Equation of Motion on earth, your are using SI units for length e.g. metric system and you decide to use 32.2 feet per second as the acceleration for gravity.  

Your answers will be completely inaccurate.

This is the sorry outcome if you disregard fundamentals and use "pseudo facts" to package a new system.

On a lighter note, I implemented an experimental new feature for Flying Stars Zi Wei Duo Shu software, annual year Si Hua transformers.



The current year is 2019.  The year's heavenly stem is 己/Ji.  

己/Ji sends Hua Quan to Tan Lang, Hua Ji to Wen Qu.  In addition, it sends Hua Ke to Tian Liang.  To differentiate the birth year transformers, some visual cue has been thrown in.

And by the way, please update your Windows with the latest security patches.
