Liu Yao Calculator: Free Online Casting and How to Read Hexagrams
Cast on the live Liu Yao tool: name the matter in one line, choose number casting or a recorded time, and let the page draw six lines from the first yao to the sixth. A Liu Yao Calculator returns an original hexagram, any moving lines, and the changed hexagram those lines produce. That picture is a traditional map of the question you typed. It does not assign a fate, and it does not promise money, exams, health, or a quiet year.
How to cast on the live Liu Yao Calculator
The English page is the casting desk. Write one matter — a job reply, a house move, a person who has gone quiet — then pick a method. Number casting is for a question that already carries digits: a ticket, a clock reading, a house number. The tool folds those digits into an upper trigram, a lower trigram, and a pointer for the line that moves. Time casting takes the date-time left in the field and turns it into the same six lines, which is enough when you have a moment and no extra numbers. Name casting and manual line-setting wait for readers who already hold a gua.
The job of this Liu Yao Calculator is the board itself: the ben gua, the moving-line marks, and the bian gua. Shi is your seat in the matter and ying is the other side of the question, and neither one is a prize. Read those marks against the matter you named before hunting a verdict in the commentary. After the board is drawn, stay with those six lines for a minute before you ask the commentary to talk; the gua is the thing you came for.
- Open the English casting page and type one matter.
- Choose number casting when digits belong to the matter; choose time casting when you only have the clock.
- Submit once, then read the original gua, the moving lines, and the changed gua.
Coin throws, number inputs, and what each line records
Classical Liu Yao is a three-coin throw, six times, from the bottom of the hexagram to the top. Three coins land in four ways, which is why an online board talks about moving lines: the line is yang or yin, still or old. Old yang and old yin move; young yang and young yin stay put in the second hexagram.
| Three-coin result | Traditional number | Line name | In the changed gua |
|---|---|---|---|
| Three yang faces | 9 | Old yang | Moves: flips to yin |
| Two yang, one yin | 7 | Young yang | Stays yang |
| Two yin, one yang | 8 | Young yin | Stays yin |
| Three yin faces | 6 | Old yin | Moves: flips to yang |
A number method lets the digits pick the two trigrams and a moving position, and the board still ends as six lines with the same four states. Time casting does that job with a clock instead of a ticket stub. The second hexagram is built from those four states, while the wording in the subject box only names the matter.
How moving lines write the second hexagram
A still line keeps its face in the changed gua, while a moving yang (old yang, numbered 9) flips to yin and a moving yin (old yin, numbered 6) flips to yang. If the second line moves and the others sit still, the bian gua differs from the ben gua in that one position; three moving lines flip three positions. If none move, traditional readers stay with the original gua as a quiet board, the matter holding its present shape.
Later commentary often treats the moving line as the place where the matter shifts — the delay, the other person, the date that has not arrived — which is a reading habit inside the school, not a calendar appointment. A mark on the fourth yao tells you which position changed on the board. When several lines move, read them as several changes stacked on one question, and do not promote the reddest mark into a lucky star; movement only names the line that changed.
Where a first reading goes wrong
Most misfires happen before the coins, because the question was already mixed. A sentence that asks about a job and a romance and a house at once gives the six lines nothing to stand on. Cast one matter; if a second matter is still loud, cast it as a new board.
- Packing two matters into one sentence and reading every moving line as a separate department.
- Dropping a Four Pillars day master onto a yao.
- Treating a moving line as a lucky badge.
- Parking Xiao Liuren palace names on the six lines.
- Casting again because the first board looked dull.
The other quiet error is asking the Liu Yao Calculator to mint a date. Hexagrams do not carry Yi and Ji labels.
Liu Yao and nine-palace Xiao Liuren stay on separate desks
Xiao Liuren runs on nine palaces and a short cycle of station names (Da An, Liu Lian, Su Xi, Chi Kou, Xiao Ji, Kong Wang). Liu Yao runs on six lines, eight trigrams, and sixty-four hexagrams, with shi and ying sitting inside that six. Do not drop a palace name onto a yao; if a page taught you nine palaces this morning, finish that page there and come here only when you want a hexagram.
If you arrived looking for a Four Pillars chart
Birth-time columns are a different desk, and a hexagram does not contain those four columns. The English BaZi Calculator plots year, month, day, and hour pillars from a civil birth date, which is how a reader finds a day master. Use the Bazi page for the natal chart; use this page for a named matter that needs casting.
Dates, hours, and what this calculator will not decide
Yi and Ji labels, clash animals, and the twelve double-hours of a civil day live on the Chinese Calendar. A hexagram does not grade a morning for moving house or signing a paper, so if you need a day, open the calendar and read that day on its own page.
A Liu Yao Calculator draws an original gua, marks moving lines, and shows the changed gua. That is a traditional picture of the matter you named, a shared language for six lines. It does not promise luck, a passing exam, a recovery, or a calm year.
