Moon Blocks
About Online Moon Blocks
How the three common moon-block results are read
Moon blocks have a flat Yang side and a curved Yin side. One of each is commonly called Sheng Jiao and read as assent; two Yang sides are Xiao Jiao and suggest no clear answer; two Yin sides are Yin Jiao and are commonly read as refusal. Meanings and procedures can vary by temple and context.
Three consecutive Sheng Jiao is an optional, context-specific practice
Some temple procedures ask for three consecutive Sheng Jiao to confirm a fortune slip or a specific request. It is not a universal rule for every question, so this tool offers it only after a result as an optional confirmation flow. Progress stays only in the current session.
A transparent digital model, not a physics simulation
The tool securely selects one of four equally weighted surface pairs on your device: Yang-Yang, Yang-Yin, Yin-Yang, or Yin-Yin. This yields a 50% Sheng, 25% Xiao, and 25% Yin split inside the model. It does not claim to reproduce the physical odds of wooden blocks, and it does not simulate the rare standing-block result.

FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What do Sheng Jiao, Xiao Jiao, and Yin Jiao mean?
One Yang and one Yin side is Sheng Jiao, commonly read as assent. Two Yang sides is Xiao Jiao, often read as no clear answer yet. Two Yin sides is Yin Jiao, commonly read as refusal. Local customs can differ.
Why do some people ask for three consecutive Sheng Jiao?
Some temple procedures use three consecutive Sheng Jiao to confirm a fortune slip or a specific request. It is context-specific rather than a universal requirement, so this tool keeps it optional.
Are the online odds the same as physical moon blocks?
No. The tool transparently gives equal weight to four digital surface pairs, producing a 50% / 25% / 25% split inside the model. Physical blocks are affected by shape, material, throwing, and the floor.
Is my question stored or uploaded?
No. The question stays only in the memory of the current page and is excluded from storage, servers, analytics, verification details, and share cards. Reloading clears it.
Why does the tool not simulate a standing moon block?
A standing block depends on physical shape, balance, impact, and the floor. This first version models only the three common surface results and does not invent a digital probability for that physical event.
