Methodology

How Yarrow works

Yarrow is designed to make I Ching and Liuyao-style readings easier to approach without flattening them into vague fortune-cookie text. The product combines a structured reading flow with AI-assisted explanation.

1. A defined divination workflow

Yarrow starts from a clear question, a structured casting flow, and a consistent interpretation format. The goal is not to simulate mystical randomness with generic text, but to give each reading a stable structure that users can actually follow.

That means Yarrow is closer to a guided interpretation product than a novelty AI chatbot.

2. Traditional concepts, modern interface

Yarrow draws on six-line divination ideas associated with Liuyao and the wider I Ching tradition. Instead of expecting users to already understand specialist terminology, the interface translates core concepts into a clearer modern product experience.

This is why Yarrow focuses on readable summaries, guided prompts, and structured outputs rather than dense jargon by default.

3. What AI does

  • helps explain the reading in clearer language
  • organizes output into usable sections
  • bridges traditional concepts with modern user questions
  • improves readability for non-specialists

4. What AI does not do

  • it does not replace your judgment
  • it does not provide legal, medical, or financial advice
  • it is not presented as an infallible predictor of the future
  • it is not meant to override professional support in serious situations

5. Best use cases

Yarrow works best when the question is specific and grounded. Strong use cases include:

  • relationship reflection
  • career decisions
  • timing and direction questions
  • personal clarity when facing uncertainty
