Use natal for wider pattern
When the question is about personality, life direction, or a larger season of change, the natal layer is usually better.
Tool choice
Sometimes the chart is too broad for the question.
Natal readings are great for structure, temperament, and life season. But when the user really wants to know what to do about one specific decision, relationship move, or uncertain outcome, question-based divination can be the better fit.
Why this matters
Wrong tool, vague value. Right tool, stronger trust.
Use I Ching or Liu Yao for the decision
When the user asks about one negotiation, one conversation, one offer, or one uncertain outcome, question work becomes more useful.
Use compatibility for fit
If the issue is the relationship pattern itself, compatibility usually comes before divination.
Teaching the difference builds product trust
Users convert better when they feel the site is helping them choose the right tool instead of pushing every question into one product.
Best next step
Choose the tool that matches the shape of the question.
The more specific the situation, the more likely a question-based reading will outperform a broad natal explanation.

Common tool-choice questions.
Can I use both a natal reading and Liu Yao?
Yes. Many users need both: one for wider pattern, one for the immediate question in front of them.
Should I use compatibility or I Ching for relationships?
Use compatibility for overall fit and pattern. Use Liu Yao or I Ching when the issue is one concrete situation unfolding now.
Why teach tool choice publicly?
Because clear distinctions reduce confusion, improve trust, and make premium tools feel more purposeful.
