The Six Kins
The Six Kins assign Parents, Siblings, Authority, Wealth, and Offspring roles to lines from their elemental relation to the palace element.
What is The Six Kins?
Liuyao mathematically compresses the infinite complexity of reality into five socio-relational vectors. "Produces me" = Parents. "Matches me" = Siblings. "Attacks me" = Authority/Ghost. "I produce" = Offspring/Child. "I attack/control" = Wealth/Wife.
Interpretation & Usage
If you ask the oracle: "Will my tech startup be profitable?", the reader usually focuses on the [Wealth Line] (capital, revenue, market value) and the [Offspring Line] (product, output, R&D that generates wealth). If the [Sibling Line] is overwhelmingly strong, it may show competitors, margin pressure, or co-founder/resource disputes rather than certain failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.If I am asking about a visa application or a university exam, which Kin do I analyze?
The [Parents Line]. Beyond biological parents, "Parents" represent anything that shelters, educates, or certifies legality for you. This includes diplomas, real estate deeds, admission letters, immigration documents, or even literal clothing and umbrellas. If the Parents line is robust, traditional readers see stronger support for documents, qualifications, or review processes.
