Write one question to begin

The lunar month sets the starting point, the day shows the process, and the two-hour period gives the main result.

WHAT CAN YOU USE IT FOR?

Turn a vague concern into a question you can examine.

Use it for one specific matter that is happening now, approaching a decision, or causing uncertainty. The reading identifies the topic and explains the tendency, timing, emotional influence and practical next step.

職

Career & jobs

Interviews, offers, promotion, career changes and resignation. See the present opportunity, likely pace, obstacle and evidence to watch.

Example: Is this interview likely to move to the next round?
事

Business & projects

Contracts, clients, launches, delivery and payments. Consider whether to continue, test, wait or clarify ownership first.

Example: Is this project ready to launch this month?
情

Love & relationships

Communication, reconciliation, dating and conflict. Understand the interaction and your emotional response without claiming to read another mind.

Example: Is this a good time to reopen communication?
財

Money & cash flow

Income, late payments, borrowing and investment choices. Focus on delay, dispute, cash flow and downside—not promised returns.

Example: What is blocking this payment?
學

Study & exams

Preparation, grades, applications and admission. Identify study rhythm, weak points, emotional pressure and measurable improvement.

Example: Where should I focus my revision now?
行

Travel & plans

Trips, flights, visas, moving and connections. Notice delay and coordination risks while relying on official sources for safety.

Example: What should I double-check before this trip?
尋

Lost items

Receive a recovery tendency, traditional directional symbolism, likely place, search rhythm and practical search order.

Example: Is my missing passport likely to be nearby?
心

Emotional clarity

Recognize how waiting, hope, conflict or uncertainty may affect your judgment and learn a concrete way to steady yourself.

Each result includes an emotional pattern and grounding step.
擇

Everyday decisions

For other questions, separate known facts, missing information, acceptable cost and the smallest reversible next step.

Example: Should I continue this plan or pause?

Best for: specific, current and actionable questions. Not for: replacing medical, legal, financial or safety advice, guaranteeing future events, or revealing another person's private thoughts.

HOW A READING IS MADE

Cast first, interpret second.
See every step.

The site calculates the month, day and hour palaces from fixed rules before it interprets your question. Traditional symbolism offers a lens; real-world evidence remains the basis for your decision.

01

Structure the question

It identifies career, business, relationships, money, study, wellbeing, travel, lost items or a general decision. Context and timeframe make the advice more specific.

02

Cast by month, day and hour

The lunar month sets the starting palace, the lunar day advances the count, and the current two-hour period completes it. The path is displayed for review.

03

Build a category reading

The three palaces shape the trend, obstacle, pace, emotional response and next action. Lost-item readings also include symbolic direction, likely setting and search order.

Two layers are kept distinct: “symbolic reading” is a cultural interpretation; “grounded guidance” asks you to verify messages, terms, records and professional advice. Symbolism is never presented as proven fact.

For reflection and entertainment. Not advice.

A CULTURAL NOTE

The six palaces are patterns, not literal beings.

Da An · Great Peace

Stability, patience and protecting what already works.

Liu Lian · Lingering

Delay, repetition and a matter that needs more time.

Su Xi · Swift Joy

News, movement and a short window for action.

Chi Kou · Red Mouth

Conflict, sharp words, boundaries and responsibility.

Xiao Ji · Small Fortune

Cooperation, helpful people and gradual progress.

Kong Wang · Emptiness

Missing information, uncertain assumptions and the need to pause.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Know the method and its limits before you cast.

Why can different questions have the same palaces?

The month, day and hour palaces come from the casting time, so questions asked at the same moment can share a base chart. The site adapts the interpretation to your category and context without pretending the calculation changed.

How do I get a more specific answer?

Ask one matter at a time. Include the current stage, verified facts, main obstacle and timeframe. “What signs should I watch after this interview this week?” is more useful than “Will my future be good?”

Can it predict an exact date, probability or another person's thoughts?

No. It can describe symbolic pace, friction and a window to observe, but it cannot prove an exact date, success rate or an unspoken mental state. Use the reading to organize the question.

Why do Xiao Liu Ren traditions differ?

Folk lineages use different starting rules, sequences and meanings. This site counts the lunar day from the month palace and the hour from the day palace, and shows that formula in the result.

Are my questions uploaded or made public?

Free casting needs no account. Questions, context and recent readings are processed and stored in your browser, and share cards are created locally. That pan is sent to the server only when you choose to sync your history. Server records are never published and are used only for that sync.

How should I use it for health, money or safety?

Act on clinicians, lawyers, licensed financial professionals, official notices and direct evidence first. This cultural tool cannot replace urgent help or professional judgment.

METHOD

How this edition calculates a reading

The commonly used month-day-hour method begins the first lunar month at Da An. Counting continues through the six palaces for the lunar month, then the lunar day, then the current Chinese two-hour period. The starting position counts as one.

This edition uses China Standard Time (UTC+8) and the browser's Chinese calendar conversion. The final hour palace carries the main reading; the day-to-hour transition describes whether conditions are improving, slowing or becoming less certain.

Different schools use different conventions. This site states its convention so a result can be reproduced.

DISCLAIMER & PRIVACY

Please understand the limits of this reading.

Cultural experience

This is a traditional folk-culture experience for reflection. It does not prove future events, reveal another person's private thoughts, or guarantee success, location or timing.

Important decisions

For medical symptoms, mental-health crises, pregnancy, medication, investments, debt, contracts, legal disputes, travel safety or personal safety, rely on qualified professionals, official information and real evidence. Do not delay care or make irreversible decisions from a reading.

Privacy

Free casting needs no account: your question and optional context are processed locally and are never uploaded automatically. A pan is sent to the server only when you choose "Sync this device history". The server stores only what that feature requires (pan and question), never publishes it, and isolates every record by owner. Clearing browser data removes local records; contact us via the footer to delete server records.

Your responsibility

Use the reading as a prompt to think, then make your own decision from verified facts. In an emergency or if you may harm yourself, contact local emergency services and a trusted person immediately.
