HOW THE DEEP READING WORKS
More Than a Hexagram Name
This page uses a Na Jia / Six Lines structure. The six coin lines create a primary hexagram. Moving lines create the transformed hexagram. The primary chart is then fitted with Eight Palace, Na Jia branches, Six Relatives, Self/Response, Six Spirits, and calendar relationships.
1. Six Lines
Three coins are cast six times from the bottom line upward. 6 and 9 are moving lines; 7 and 8 are static.
2. Primary → Changed
Moving lines flip yin/yang to create a transformed hexagram, showing where the situation is actively changing.
3. Self & Response
The chart marks the Self line (世) and Response line (应) to compare the questioner with the other party or external situation.
4. Useful Spirit
The question selects the relevant Six Relative — for example Wealth for money or Officer/Ghost for career — rather than treating every line equally.
FAQ
Liu Yao Deep Reading
Does my question change the coin results?
No. The digital cast is generated independently. Your question and category only tell the engine which line relationships should be treated as most relevant.
Is the digital cast the same probability as three coins?
Yes. The automatic mode generates three independent two-sided coin results for each of six lines. This produces the traditional 6/7/8/9 three-coin distribution. You can also toss your own physical coins and enter the six totals.
What does the engine actually analyze?
Primary and transformed hexagrams, moving lines, Eight Palace membership, Na Jia stems and branches, Six Relatives, Self/Response, Six Spirits, the solar-month branch, day stem-branch, void branches, generation/control, combinations and clashes, and the target line selected by the question.
Why can two people get different readings from the same hexagram?
In Liu Yao, the hexagram name is only one layer. Different moving lines, calendar conditions, Self/Response positions, target lines and branch relationships can change the practical interpretation.
How are health questions handled?
For a self-health question, the engine treats the Self line (世) as the person, examines Officer/Ghost (官鬼) as traditional illness pressure and Children (子孙) as a traditional relief/medicine indicator. These are symbolic divination roles only. The site will not diagnose disease, predict death or recovery, recommend medication, or tell you whether medical care is necessary.
Is Liu Yao proven to predict the future?
No. It is a traditional divination practice, not a scientifically validated forecasting method. Use the reading for cultural exploration and reflection rather than as a substitute for evidence or professional advice.
