A transparent way to use traditional systems

Sibyl Compass is a free, privacy-first metaphysics utility platform focused on transparent calculations, traditional-system methodology, and reflective interpretation.

This page explains who publishes Sibyl, how calculation and interpretation stay separate, which evidence labels appear in the product, and where the platform deliberately refuses false precision.

About Sibyl Compass

Four tools, one accountable product standard

Sibyl Compass brings Tarot, BaZi, Numerology, and Feng Shui into one learning and utility platform. Each system keeps its own vocabulary, rules, and limits rather than being collapsed into one generic spiritual score.

Free core access

The current core calculators, card library, profiles, guides, and method disclosures are available without an account or paywall.

Clear, complete explanations

Each page explains its terms, methods and limits in a complete reading experience.

Utility before prediction

The product is designed to calculate, explain, and support reflection. It does not promise events, certainty, or guaranteed outcomes.

Methodology

Calculation first, interpretation second

First, the tool calculates a result using the stated method. The reading then explains traditional ideas and offers questions for reflection; it does not change that result.

Named systems

Every result remains inside its named tradition: a Tarot draw is not a BaZi assessment, and personal Kua is not an Annual Flying Stars chart.

Visible conventions

Where a tradition has competing conventions, Sibyl names the selected method and keeps version information visible.

Check rather than guess

When an uncertain time or missing evidence could change a result, we ask for further checking rather than guess.

Calculation standards

Clear methods and honest limits

Each tool explains what information it needs, which method it uses and when a result needs checking. We compare important date and time boundaries with reference cases.

Time is not one coordinate

BaZi and Kua distinguish local civil time, UTC instants, true-solar wall time, solar-term instants, DST ambiguity, and historical timezone provenance where those distinctions matter.

Expected results need independent evidence

Calendar dates, Four Pillars, Kua and annual star layouts need reference evidence. A calculation matching its own steps is not enough to establish historical accuracy.

Readings do not change the result

Reading an explanation does not change the chart, number or layout you calculated.

Editorial policy

Traditional vocabulary without manufactured certainty

Sibyl explains traditional systems in readable language. Cultural readings are kept distinct from the calculation and are not presented as scientific evidence.

Substance over filler

Editorial pages define the symbol or term, explain the named traditional frame, give practical reflection, identify limits, and link to the next useful concept.

No universal-consensus claim

Sibyl states the method it uses. Other traditions may use different rules; our choice is not presented as the only legitimate approach.

Review and correction

Sources and methods are provided where useful. When a meaningful error is found, the correction is checked before an update is published.

Privacy in your browser

Personal inputs stay out of the public web

No account or email is required. Birth data, locations, Tarot questions, and private results are not placed in URLs, sent to analytics, or saved to cloud storage by default.

Local calculation

Current tools work in your browser. Looking up a birth place does not upload your birth date or time.

Explicit local storage

Tarot records are saved in this browser only when you choose Save, and you can delete them. Clearing browser data may erase them; browsers and devices do not automatically sync.

Private results are not indexable

Private-result pages are kept out of public search listings. Learning pages do not include your personal inputs.

Limitations

What Sibyl does not claim

These tools present cultural, traditional, and reflective frameworks. They do not scientifically validate metaphysical systems and do not replace medical, legal, financial, safety, construction, or other professional advice.

No guaranteed outcome

A card, number, pillar, direction, or annual star does not guarantee an event, relationship result, health condition, or financial outcome.

Method differences remain real

Different schools may prioritize other rules, thresholds, chart orientations, or interpretive methods. Sibyl names its convention rather than hiding disagreement.

Precision has a boundary

Historical timezone records and times close to calendar boundaries can limit precision. When a result needs further checking, we say so rather than guess.

How sources and methods are checked

Evidence taxonomy

How Sibyl labels evidence

The evidence class tells you what a test or rule can prove. It does not turn a traditional system into scientific measurement.

PROPERTY

Property

Generated cases that test invariants such as valid ranges, stable shapes, uniqueness, or round trips without claiming a specific historical fact.

CANONICAL_SPEC

Canonical specification

A frozen Sibyl convention or traditional lookup table that has completed the required review and is tested independently from its implementation.

EXTERNAL_AUTHORITY

External authority

Evidence tied to a named outside source such as an astronomical publication or a specific IANA timezone database release.
