How to use it — and how not to
How InnerHook writes a reading
The tools stay short on purpose. These pages hold the longer notes: what we write, what we refuse to claim, and how to use each draw.
Why the tools are short
Lots, tarot, BaZi, and Zi Wei are meant to be used in one sitting. Most people tap, read one line, and put the phone down. The tool pages keep a short lead, the widget, and a few FAQs. A long essay on every draw would cover the cards and repeat the same text.
If the site only showed widgets, it would look empty. These guides are the original writing: how the verses and cards are made, and how they differ from a temple lot or a Rider–Waite spread. Use the tool to draw; use a guide when you want the rules.
What “entertainment” means here
Readings are written as a psychological check-in. A lot verse or a geometric card asks where you are stuck — it does not promise next week. A BaZi chart shows pillars and a day-master so you can notice pace, not a lifetime verdict.
People in Taiwan and Hong Kong know temple lots and traditional tarot. We do not borrow those names. Atmosphere is fine; impersonation is not. Answers stay on your device. There is no account and no reader on the other side of the screen.
Chinese lots
How online lots differ from a temple draw
A cylinder, a shake, one stick — the gesture recalls a temple. The verses, ranks, and readings are original InnerHook writing. They do not belong to any temple.

A solar birthday is enough to place twelve palaces. Hour is optional. You get a life palace, a few main stars, and short notes — not a lifetime verdict.
