How daily patterns and cards are generated

Public themes and personal draws use different mechanisms.

Distinguish the two results

The public theme follows the page’s stated date rule. A personal draw randomly generates a pattern and card without birth data. Neither is a natal chart or a basis for deriving destiny from repetitions.

Timezone determines the day

The chosen timezone determines the displayed day, which can differ across regions. Check the date after changing zones. A timezone changes the day boundary, not a card’s or pattern’s textual meaning.

Reading the pair

Read the I Ching judgment and changing lines, then the tarot image and orientation. Their perspectives can be compared without converting suits into I Ching elements or adding meanings into a score.
