Reading choice

Choose the next layer that matches the real question, not just the strongest emotion.

Harmony BaZi works best when users move to the right layer at the right moment: free preview for orientation, daily for pacing, monthly for broader focus, compatibility for relational fit, and Liu Yao for focused decisions.

Pacing layer

Daily reading

Use daily when the question is about today's tone, timing windows, support signals, or caution signals rather than long-range structure.

See daily guidance

Planning layer

Monthly reading

Use monthly when the question is about the next stretch of work, relationship focus, or which life area needs attention this month.

See monthly guidance

Relationship layer

Compatibility reading

Use compatibility when the question is about fit, friction, or repeated relational dynamics between two people.

Decision layer

Focused Liu Yao question

Practical choices

Use this page when the next layer feels unclear.

If the question is vague

Clarify the question before buying more depth. A clearer question usually helps more than another reading.

Clarify the question

If daily and monthly feel different

Use monthly as the container and daily as the pacing layer, instead of treating them like competing verdicts.

Read the conflict guide

If the relationship question is personal

Choose compatibility when the issue is about the fit between two people, but stay on personal guidance when the issue is mostly your own timing or pattern.

Compare the layers

If the issue needs one next step

Switch from a broad monthly layer to Liu Yao when the pressure is about what to do next, not just what the season feels like.

Use Liu Yao well

When should I use Liu Yao instead of another broad reading?
