How our readings work
Many AI reading sites let a language model improvise everything. We built Solve My X the opposite way: the chart is computed, the sources are citable, and the AI is only allowed to interpret.
1. Real computation comes first
Every reading starts with deterministic code, not with a prompt. BaZi charts are derived from your birth date and time using the traditional solar-term calendar. Zi Wei Dou Shu palaces and stars are placed by the classical star-placement rules, and each placement carries its rule reference. Tarot spreads are drawn with a seeded shuffle, so the same question and moment produce a reproducible spread rather than a convenient one. Western astrology positions come from standard astronomical calculation. If required birth information is missing or invalid, the system says so instead of improvising a chart.
2. A knowledge base you can check
Behind the readings sits a curated library of classical sources: the Rider-Waite-Smith tradition and modern tarot scholarship in English, Chinese classical texts for BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu, and astrology references. When a reading leans on the tradition, it cites the passage, and the citation is shown to you. Where a citation cannot meet our display-quality bar, we hide it rather than show something garbled — no source is better than a fake-looking one.
3. What the AI does — and is blocked from doing
The language model receives the computed chart, the retrieved sources, and your question. Its job is interpretation: connecting the structure to your situation in plain English. It is explicitly instructed never to alter or invent chart facts, and its output is screened — wording like guaranteed outcomes, medical or legal conclusions, or fatalistic verdicts causes the draft to be discarded and replaced with a plainer fallback. High-risk questions about self-harm, diagnosis, gambling picks, or lawsuit outcomes are intercepted before any reading is generated at all.
4. Boundaries we hold on purpose
A reading here is a structured mirror for reflection, offered for insight and entertainment. It is not medical, legal, financial, or psychological advice, and it will not tell you when someone will die, whether to sue, or which stock to buy. We think the honest version of this craft — computed structure, cited tradition, non-absolute language — is more useful than the frightening version, and we are building for readers who agree.

FAQ
Does the AI make up the chart or the cards?
No. Charts and spreads are computed by deterministic code before any AI is involved. The AI receives the computed structure and is instructed to treat it as fixed fact; it interprets, it does not invent.
Can a reading predict death, illness, lawsuits, or lottery numbers?
No, and we refuse to pretend otherwise. Questions in those areas are intercepted before a reading is generated and answered with a boundary note instead. Health belongs with doctors, legal outcomes with courts, and no honest system picks winning numbers.
Why do you show sources under a reading?
Because interpretation should be checkable. Where the knowledge base holds a relevant passage from a classical source, the reading cites it, so you can see the tradition behind a statement instead of taking our word for it.
