TEMPORAL STRATEGY MATRIX
A deterministic timing engine for term sheets, hires, negotiations and exits — read the moment, act inside a 72-hour window.
Six Palaces — And Why We Don't Bind Them to Wu Xing
Every reading is derived from these six omen qualities alone.
Wu Xing is reproduced for orientation. Which element a palace belongs to is disputed between schools, so we do not build on it.

Read →Frequently Asked Questions
How deterministic is the reading?
The palace calculation is fully deterministic — the same moment always yields the same three palaces. Strategic interpretation is where judgment is applied.
What exactly do I get for $19?
A downloadable 10-page PDF: methodology, your three-palace trajectory, palace interaction narrative, a personalized 72-hour action plan, five-dimensional resonant vectors, Major Arcana synthesis, executive guardrails, and reference appendix.
Is this financial or legal advice?
No. Esoteric Paths is a decision-clarity instrument. All binding terms must be codified in written contracts.
How is my payment data handled?
Payments are processed by Dodo Payments (PCI-DSS compliant). We never store your card details.
