Frequently asked questions
Answers about what to ask and what to expect from your reading.
What is Liuyao?
Liuyao is a Chinese method of reading the six lines of an I Ching hexagram. The casting tool combines the lines with the traditional calendar to calculate the chart signals.
How is this different from tarot?
Both use symbols as a starting point for reflection. Liuyao uses lines and hexagrams from the I Ching, while tarot uses a deck of cards.
Do I need my birth date?
No. A concrete question and the background you choose to share are enough.
How long until I get my reading?
The free result appears after the sixth toss. A detailed report starts generating once payment is confirmed or you use an included membership reading. You can follow its progress on the private reading page.
What questions work best?
Choose one decision or situation that you can describe in a sentence. For example, “Should I accept the job offer in Berlin this spring?”
What can't you answer?
We don't take questions about health, life or death, litigation, investment decisions, or betting outcomes. Consult an appropriate professional when you need advice in their area.
Is my question kept private?
Your question stays in your browser while you cast. When you request a detailed reading, the question is sent for processing. See the privacy policy for details.
Can I get a refund?
See the refund policy for detailed readings and memberships.
What languages are available?
The site and readings are available in English, Chinese and Spanish. The cards carry their original English and Chinese mottos.
