What you get
Today's hexagram
A daily hexagram with a single guiding line — a small anchor for the day.
Question coach
Reframes vague or compound questions into one you can actually ask.
Stakes rating
A five-tier read on how much this matters — so weight matches reality.
Cast methods
Plum-Blossom time, manual numbers, virtual 3-coin — pick what fits.
Reading view
Primary, changing lines, derived hex, judgment & image — laid out clearly.
Deep interpretation
Classical lines + your specific situation, woven into an actionable read.
Reading journal
Every reading + your follow-through, captured and re-readable.
Personal hex map
Months of readings, distilled into the themes that keep returning.
Reflection reminders
When it’s time to look back, a gentle email invites you to note how things actually went.
Bazi context tags
Deterministic strength, element, and year tags add personal context to readings — birth data is computed, then discarded.
How We Cast
Plum-Blossom
Maps the current (or chosen) timestamp to a hexagram via the classical Plum-Blossom rule. Quick, reproducible.
Manual numbers
You provide year/month/day/hour. We follow the traditional method — you keep the agency.
Three coins
Three virtual coins tossed six times — random, fair, and faithful to the canonical ritual.
AI never casts.
It only interprets.
Our rule: the AI does not choose your hexagram. It only interprets what came up, drawing on the classical commentary.
Every hexagram comes from a random or fixed method — transparent, traceable, verifiable.

Avoid over-reliance
