XIAO LIU REN · TIME DIVINATION · 小六壬
Ask a question at the moment it matters
Xiao Liu Ren is a compact traditional method that counts the lunar month, lunar day, and Chinese double hour through six named states. This introductory reading is free and requires no account.
The calculation uses true solar time at the casting place and treats 23:00 as the beginning of the next divination day.
Set the moment
Use one clear question and the place where it is being asked.
The exact local time at the selected casting place is captured when you create the reading.
No account. No question, location, or result is saved.
A SIX-PALACE SEQUENCE
One moment, made transparent.
Choose the place where the question is being asked. We convert its local clock to true solar time, apply the 23:00 day boundary, and show every step used to reach the result.
REFERENCE
The twelve Chinese double hours
Each shichen spans two clock hours. The selected place’s true solar time determines which branch is counted.
