FAQ
Why are the lucky hours on the home page different?
The home page shows auspicious hours worked out from the date, the same for everyone; this page uses your birth date and time, so it differs for each person.
Does my birth time need to be exact?
The more exact the better. Each double-hour lasts two hours and is calculated from its midpoint; 子 crosses midnight and counts as 00:00. If you are not sure, an approximate double-hour still works.
Which method should I choose, 扶抑喜用 or 制化做功?
They are two different ways of reading a chart. Neither is wrong, and different results are normal. Feel free to try both.
What do lucky hours have to do with the games?
There are three links. In the game: some games, especially life-sim and management games, bring your lucky hours and luck index for the day into the game world as part of that day’s state. A cross-check: if luck has felt off lately, look up your recent luck index here, then play a few rounds and see whether how the game goes matches the index. A real-life reminder: before spending money or time on something, treat the index as a prompt to think it over and choose more carefully. It is only a reference and never makes the decision for you.
