What Is Liuyao Divination?

Liuyao (Six Lines) is a traditional Chinese divination method rooted in the I Ching. By casting a hexagram at a specific moment, it combines Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, and Six Relations to provide directional guidance for specific questions. Tideris uses AI to interpret hexagrams following traditional rules, generating unique readings for each casting — ideal for questions about relationships, career, wealth, and health.

QWhat is the difference between Liuyao and BaZi?

BaZi (Four Pillars) is a fixed birth chart that reveals your overall life pattern and fortune trends. Liuyao is a question-based divination method — you cast a hexagram at a specific moment for a specific question, and each casting produces a unique result. In short: BaZi shows "who you are," Liuyao shows "how this situation will unfold."

QWhat do I need to cast a Liuyao hexagram?

You need a clear, specific question and the casting time. Traditionally, three coins are tossed six times. Tideris uses a randomized algorithm to simulate the coin-casting process, combined with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of the casting moment to construct and interpret the hexagram. The more specific your question, the more focused the reading.

QCan I cast multiple times for the same question?

Traditional Liuyao practice advises against repeated casting for the same question — the classic principle is "the first cast informs, repeated casts confuse." Casting multiple times dilutes the reading's reference value. Each result is generated based on the time-space information of that specific moment.

QWhat types of questions can Liuyao answer?

Liuyao works best for specific, time-bound questions — such as "Should I take this job offer?", "Will this relationship work out?", or "Is now a good time to move?" It's not ideal for broad life questions like "What is my destiny?" — for those, a BaZi birth chart reading is more appropriate.

QHow does AI Liuyao differ from a traditional divination master?

The casting process (coin simulation, hexagram construction, Six Relations assignment, determining the Subject and Object lines) follows traditional rules exactly — this part is algorithmic and fixed. The interpretation is generated by AI based on the hexagram data. It's transparent in logic but lacks the intuitive experience of a human master. Best used as directional reference; for major decisions, always combine with real-world judgment.

Cast the coins, read the hexagram

💡 For relationship readings: male charts use the Wealth Star (妻财) to represent a female partner; female charts use the Officer/Husband Star (官鬼). Selecting your gender improves accuracy.

Traditional Liu Yao practice holds that the same question should not be cast twice — the first hexagram is the true answer; divining again disturbs its energy.
