AI Shengshou is a comprehensive metaphysics platform that blends traditional I Ching wisdom with modern AI technology:

• I Ching (Plum Blossom) — Instant hexagram casting
• Western Astrology — Planetary positions and aspect analysis
• Bazi (Four Pillars) — Stems, branches, and elemental patterns
• Ziwei (Purple Star) — Twelve palaces and star configurations
• Transit & Progression — Current planetary influences on your natal chart

All content is AI-generated and provided for cultural entertainment purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional life decisions.

We offer both free and paid membership tiers:

• Free users: 3 casts per day with basic interpretation
• Paid members: Unlimited casts with AI-powered deep interpretation (6 sections)

Payments are processed securely through Stripe, WeChat Pay, and Alipay, supporting credit/debit cards and QR code payments.

• Template interpretation: Based on classical I Ching texts — fast, good for quick reference
• AI deep interpretation: Powered by a large language model, generates personalized analysis tailored to your question and hexagram, with 6 sections (Overview, Ti-Yong, Moving Line, Mutual Hexagram, Timing, Advice)

AI interpretation is more personalized to your question; template interpretation stays closer to classical texts.

We take privacy seriously:

• Payment info is processed through Stripe / WeChat Pay / Alipay gateways — we never store your card or payment account details
• Passwords are stored with bcrypt salted hashing
• Sensitive data (email) is encrypted with AES-256-GCM
• Cast questions are anonymized after server-side processing

See our Privacy Policy for details.

On the I Ching tab:

1. Write your question — focus on what matters most right now
2. Tap the "Cast" button
3. The system automatically casts using current time (hour-based method)
4. You'll get the original hexagram, changed hexagram (if a moving line exists), and AI interpretation

You can also tap the quick tags (Career/Relationships/Wealth/Health/Decision/State) to auto-fill a question.

Traditional I Ching wisdom says "Repeated inquiry profanes the oracle" — don't cast repeatedly for the same question.

Our advice:
• Calm your mind before casting
• Cast only once per question
• If the result is unclear, try rephrasing your question from a different angle

Our daily cast limit is also designed to encourage mindful usage rather than over-reliance.

A moving line is a line in the hexagram that changes (yin to yang, or yang to yin).

• Original hexagram → current state
• Changed hexagram → future direction
• Moving line → the pivot point of change

AI interpretation focuses on what the moving line means and how it connects the original and changed hexagrams.

Yes — the more precise your birth time, the more accurate your chart.

• Within 4 minutes: ASC and houses are essentially accurate
• Within 15 minutes: Planetary signs are accurate; houses may have slight deviation
• Unknown time: You can use noon (12:00), but ASC/MC will be inaccurate

If you know your birth city, we automatically calculate coordinates and timezone.

• ASC (Ascendant / Rising Sign): The intersection of the eastern horizon with the ecliptic — represents "how you see yourself" and "first impressions you give others"
• MC (Midheaven): The highest point of the ecliptic in the south — represents "your career direction and public image"

Both are analyzed in detail in AI Shengshou's astrology interpretations.

• Bazi (Four Pillars): Based on the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches of your birth year/month/day/hour (8 characters total), analyzing Five Elements balance, favorable/unfavorable gods, and 10-year luck cycles
• Ziwei (Purple Star Astrology): Based on stars positioned across twelve palaces, analyzing twelve life domains including Destiny, Wealth, Career, and Relationships

The two systems are complementary — Bazi reveals "trends of destiny and timing," while Ziwei shows "specific manifestations in each area of life."

On the Bazi page:

• Solar (Gregorian): Enter a Gregorian date and the system auto-converts it to lunar stems and branches
• Lunar: Enter a lunar date directly (note leap month handling)

If unsure, we recommend using solar calendar — system conversion is more reliable.
