The Sixty Jiazi Lots are a set of sixty four-line temple poems, each tied to a pair of heavenly stem and earthly branch, used in many Mazu temples in Taiwan. You read the poem you draw and its booklet notes to see whether to move, wait or hold.
A stick is drawn from the tube and confirmed with moon blocks: only three affirming throws in a row keep it, otherwise it goes back and another is drawn, and every round is recorded. Lots are numbered the temple way, not in sexagenary order.
What it asks you for: no birth data, just a question
The four-line poem, the booklet's overall verdict line, its traditional notes on twelve topics such as work, marriage and travel, a plain reading, and one thing to do first.
