Reading Wealth
The same hexagram reads differently when you ask "will this money come to me" than when you ask "will the market rise this week." This series takes the money side of Liuyao apart one piece at a time: first by hexagram (the wealth temper of Qian, Kun, Kan, Zhun and more), then by concept (how the relatives, spirits, moving lines, self-and-other, the void and timing work in personal fortune and in markets), and finally a quick-reference grid and a glossary. Plain language, not a wall of jargon.
All sixty-four hexagrams in one 8×8 table — upper trigram down the side, lower across the top. Cast, note your two trigrams, find the hexagram here, and click through. The map for the whole series.
Open the gridApplication · Reading markets
Not a price calculator. How the five relatives map onto buying, selling pressure, policy and news flow, where the two axes go, and where the model stops.
ReadSelf and other as a mirror for who holds the power. Which line to watch, what getting back together really turns on, and how not to hand over the decision.
ReadOfficer is the role, Parent is the offer, Sibling is the competition. A classical SWOT, plus how the two axes read in an interview.
ReadMoney by Hexagram
The hexagram of peak yang and peak wealth-force — so why does it warn of the "arrogant dragon"? Reading a fortune that is strong to the point of danger.
ReadKun is patient money, money by accumulation. The hexagram of slow wealth — you can't rush it, and you mustn't let it leak.
ReadOne flows, one clogs — Tai and Pi are a pair. What an open money-path looks like versus a blocked one, and how the two flip.
ReadAlready losing, deep in a rough patch, and you draw Kan. Grind on or pull back? Finding steadiness inside doubled danger.
ReadEverything is hard at the start. A new venture or a fresh position that draws Zhun — reading the friction of the early days.
ReadA hard obstacle sits in the middle; only biting through clears it. Shi Ke is about breaking a blockage — when to bite down.
ReadConcepts · Market Meaning
The hexagram is the hardware; najia is the operating system. Stem and branch assignment, the eight-trigram reference table, and the five-step manual setup.
ReadWealth, Sibling, Offspring, Officer, Parent — reading money starts with knowing these five roles, and who each one is in fortune and in markets.
ReadThe subject line itself. In fortune it is money; in markets it is price and liquidity. How its strength, weakness and voidness read.
ReadThe rival, the wealth-robber. In fortune it is competition and drain; in markets it is bears and selling pressure. Strong sibling, hard money.
ReadThe source of wealth, the blessing line. In fortune it is your earning capacity; in markets it is upward momentum. Strong offspring, rooted money.
ReadThe two two-faced relatives. Officer is pressure and risk, Parent is the news flow — their direction depends on who they feed or fight.
ReadAzure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, Hook, Snake, White Tiger, Dark Warrior. They don't set direction — they describe how it happens. Why the White Tiger means violent moves.
ReadThe month and day pillars are a hexagram's weather. They set each line's baseline strength; a line that matches them wields a sword of authority.
ReadOne cast, two images: the primary is now and the process; the changed is later and the result. A moving line is what carries you from one to the other.
ReadStill lines are background; moving lines set direction. The moving line is the most talkative line on the chart — the point where the trend turns.
ReadSelf is you, Other is the counterparty or the market. The self line is a cup and wealth is water — if the cup can't hold it, no amount stays.
ReadWhat does it mean when the wealth line is "void"? Void is not-yet, discounted, unsure. Telling true void from false, and when it fills in.
Read"When" is harder to answer than "whether." Timing is the window — how filling, clashing-open and value-days each trigger it.
ReadTools & Comparison
Self and other, the six relatives, the five-element cycle, the void, timing — the most-used terms on one page to glance at while you read.
ReadBaZi and Zi Wei are natal charts — the shape of a whole life. Liuyao rises from this moment, one question at a time. Why it fits a specific question.
ReadAsking which is more accurate is the wrong question. Causal reasoning against psychological mapping, compared on philosophy, timing and what each handles well.
ReadThree very different niches. Casting difficulty, tolerance for a bad day, and what a beginner should actually start with.
ReadA note: a hexagram is a mirror that helps you see where you stand — not a verdict, and never a buy or sell signal. Everything here is framed as "how to read it" and "what to watch for"; none of it is investment advice. Markets carry their own risk, and the decision, with its consequences, stays yours.
