What you need before you start

Take a quick look at what this tool asks for before you begin. Most tools only need basic information you already know, and you can see the result right away.

This page is here to show the direction and how to use the tool, so you do not need to fill in personal details yet.

How it works

This live tool calculates the result directly from the information shown on the page. You can use it right away without payment, and the form is not sent to an AI model.

What is the difference between time-based and number-based casting?

Time-based casting uses the current Gregorian moment, converts it to lunar GanZhi, and applies the Shao Yong method. Number-based casting lets you provide three integers (or random seeds) to form the upper trigram, lower trigram, and changing line. Both are deterministic.

Is this the same algorithm as the legacy implementation?

The legacy page did not have a fully deterministic engine. This version uses the canonical Shao Yong split rules with real lunar calendar values via tyme4ts.
