Compatibility is not the answer to every relationship feeling
If the structure is stable but your season changed, compatibility may not be the next best layer.
Relationship start path
A relationship question usually gets clearer when you ask which layer it belongs to first.
Some relationship questions are really about compatibility. Some are about timing. Some are about your own pattern. And some need a sharper Liu Yao hinge. The strongest starting move is choosing the right layer before chasing reassurance.
Relationship triage
The best relationship reading starts with the right category of problem.
Timing matters inside good relationships too
A strong fit can still meet a rough season, which changes what kind of help is useful.
Personal pattern can distort relationship interpretation
Sometimes the first useful question is about your own rhythm, fear loop, or bandwidth.
Liu Yao works best when the question is narrow
Use divination after the relationship issue condenses into one real hinge, not before.
Best next step
Name whether the pressure is in the bond, the timing, or the immediate decision.
That one distinction often makes the whole relationship path clearer.

Common questions.
Should I start with compatibility or a personal reading?
Start with the layer where the true pressure lives. If the relationship structure changed, compatibility may help. If your own season changed, a personal layer may come first.
When does Liu Yao belong in a relationship path?
Usually when the relationship question has become one precise hinge or decision rather than a broad emotional uncertainty.
What if I still feel unsure after reading?
That usually means the layer choice is not clear yet. Step back and ask whether the issue is about fit, timing, personal pattern, or one tactical decision.
