Metaphysics systems
Mystilink supports several metaphysics systems. Each one produces a chart through a local charting engine or an in-conversation interaction, and the Agent then interprets it in the context of your question.
System overview
| System | Typical questions | How the chart is produced |
|---|---|---|
| BaZi | Fortune cycles, Ten Gods, luck and annual pillars | Local script: four pillars, luck pillars, annual cycles (true solar time supported) |
| Zi Wei Dou Shu | Life palace, major limits, annual cycles | Local engine: twelve palaces, major stars, Four Transformations, and more |
| Tarot | Symbolic interpretation of a concrete question | In-interface card draw in the conversation (upright and reversed) |
| Six Lines (Liu Yao) | One matter per reading | Six casts in the conversation to build the hexagram |
| Western astrology | Natal character, aspects | Swiss Ephemeris computes planets and houses |
Manual selection and automatic mode
- Manual: open the theory selector next to the input area and pick BaZi, Zi Wei, and so on. Six lines, astrology, and others are under "More systems".
- Automatic: after enabling "Automatically select theory", the trigger shows "Auto" and the Agent recommends a path from the question.
The theory selector switches the metaphysics workflow; it has nothing to do with the model vendor.
Notes on each system
BaZi
Casts four pillars from the birth date and hour and analyzes them with luck pillars and annual cycles. Charting output is deterministic and the full chart can be expanded in the conversation.
Zi Wei Dou Shu
Places stars by lunar hour and lays out the twelve palaces and major stars; supports rules such as the day changing at Zi hour and the Four Transformations (as configured in the local engine).
Tarot
Draws cards in the interface for a specific question; the Agent interprets the spread, upright and reversed positions, and the question. The model does not invent cards at random.
Six Lines
Casts six times for a specific question; the system records yin, yang, and moving lines before interpreting the hexagram.
Western astrology
Computes a Western natal chart from the birth moment and geographic coordinates; can involve the zodiac and house systems (see the engine's supported range).
How to choose a system
- Natal chart, long-term structure → BaZi, Zi Wei, astrology (profile card required)
- One concrete matter, short-term decision → tarot, six lines (no complete birth record needed)
- Unsure → use automatic mode, or see FAQ: systems and automatic mode
Next steps
What to keep in view when reading results
For natal charts, check the birth records and the calculation rules actually applied first; for tarot and six lines, check the interaction results shown in the interface first. If the model text disagrees with the tool panel, go back to the explicit input and the tool output instead of judging by how fluent the prose sounds.
Choosing a system states the method used for this discussion; it does not mean the software has validated that system's predictive power. Two systems reaching a similar conclusion is not independent proof of accuracy either. For theory, terminology, and historical background, see the Mystilink Wiki; for differences between charts, see Charting issues.
