Put reality first
Treat a hexagram as one perspective, not an instruction or prediction. It cannot know facts that were not provided or guarantee an outcome. If a reading conflicts with evidence, values, or safety, rely on real-world information and careful judgement.
Reflect before recasting
Avoid casting repeatedly just to find a more welcome answer. After one reading, note what it raises, let new information or action emerge, then decide whether a new question is needed.
High-stakes or urgent situations
For health, legal, financial, violence, or personal-safety matters, seek qualified support rather than deciding from a reading alone. If someone may be in immediate danger, get to safety and contact local emergency services or a trusted person—do not wait for this site.
