I’ve always liked analyzing things and asking questions, and as AI developed, I found myself exploring more and more subjects through it. One area I kept returning to was divination.
Astrology had already been part of my life for years. Growing up in Japan, I used to check the daily zodiac rankings on morning television before school. Later, I became more interested in astrology, tarot, and numerology as ways to look at situations from another perspective.
One experience stayed with me in particular. After being hospitalized, I changed jobs and believed I was moving in the right direction. Soon afterward, a reader told me, “You made the wrong choice.” I disagreed at the time, but looking back, I understand what she meant. That experience made me think more seriously about how understanding ourselves can change the decisions we make.
Today, I describe myself as an AI-assisted divination content designer rather than a traditional fortune teller. I think of the role more like a designer or architect: I decide what needs to be examined, how the reading should be structured, what deserves more attention, and how the different pieces should be interpreted together.
My personal readings may combine astrology, tarot, and numerology depending on the question. I’m especially interested in situations where there isn’t one obvious answer: career decisions, independent work, money, relationships, long-term direction, and the points in life where several possibilities seem equally real.
AI is one of the tools I use in that process, but it isn’t the person doing the reading. A personal reading still comes down to who is asking the questions, choosing the framework, deciding what matters, and putting the final interpretation together. That responsibility remains mine.
I’m still building Sandy Tide Readings, and the number of clients I’ve worked with is relatively small compared with long-established readers. But the responses I’ve received so far have encouraged me to continue developing readings that are detailed, thoughtful, and made for the individual rather than produced from a single fixed template.
I grew up checking the daily 12-sign horoscope rankings on Japanese morning television.
I’m the kind of person who naturally wants to know why something happened, what influenced it, and what other possibilities might exist.
My main interests are astrology, tarot, and numerology, especially when they can be used together rather than treated as completely separate systems.
I don’t use divination to tell people what they must do. I’m much more interested in what becomes visible once you have another perspective on the situation.
Sandy Tide Readings is the official site for presenting divination not as a simple result, but as something that can be understood through its ideas, structure, and practical meaning.
Rather than ending with “what the reading says,” Sandy Tide Readings focuses on explaining how each reading is built, what kind of perspective it is based on, and how it can become a useful hint for everyday life.
Created by Nagisa Shinomiya, Sandy Tide Readings organizes the structures behind different forms of divination and reconstructs them in a way that reflects each person’s individuality.
For a long time, people have searched for answers to questions such as “Why do people experience the same event in different ways?” and “What shapes the direction of a person’s life?”
Within this long history, divination has often been divided into three major categories: Ming, Bu, and Xiang. These are sometimes understood as the three major branches of divination.
This type of divination reads a person’s nature and life flow based on birth information, such as date of birth, birth time, and place of birth.
Examples: Western astrology / BaZi / numerology / Zi Wei Dou Shu / Nine Star Ki, and more
Best for: personality tendencies, talents, life themes, timing cycles, and compatibility
It is useful for understanding questions such as “What kind of nature was I born with?” and “What kind of flow does my life follow?”
This type of divination reads the state of the present moment through symbols that appear by chance, such as cards, dice, or other tools.
Examples: tarot cards / oracle cards / I Ching / rune readings / dowsing, and more
Best for: current feelings, near-future situations, specific concerns, and guidance for choices
It is especially useful for short-term decisions and situations where you feel uncertain or conflicted.
This type of divination reads tendencies and energy from visible forms, such as people, objects, names, spaces, or environments.
Examples: palmistry / face reading / name analysis / feng shui / house reading, and more
Best for: the state of one’s luck, environmental influence, and the flow created by names or living spaces
It is helpful for understanding the relationship between a person and the environment surrounding them.
In this way, divination can be understood as having different roles:
Each branch has a different purpose and has traditionally been used according to the question being asked.
Divination also differs depending on its cultural background. Western systems such as astrology and tarot, and Eastern systems such as BaZi, Nine Star Ki, and I Ching, each carry their own way of thinking and interpreting symbols.
At Sandy Tide Readings, these diverse systems are not treated as one fixed “correct answer.” Instead, they are understood as different perspectives for understanding people.
Every system of divination has its strengths, and every system also has its limits.
That is why Sandy Tide Readings does not depend on only one method. Instead, it studies and combines elements such as:
By combining these perspectives with the analytical power of AI, Sandy Tide Readings reconstructs divination into a new form.
The goal is not simply to create readings that are judged by whether they are “right” or “wrong.”
Instead, Sandy Tide Readings explores how divination can be read in a way that reflects each person’s nature, timing, and situation, and how it can answer the question: “How can this be used now?”
Sandy Tide Readings aims to develop divination not as a fixed answer, but as a thinking tool for understanding life more clearly.
AI divination content designer based in Japan.
I create astrology and divination content by combining symbolic interpretation, original divination concepts, and AI-assisted content design, while focusing on self-understanding, emotional patterns, relationships, life direction, and the symbolic structures behind divination.
What I am especially interested in is the structure behind divination.
To me, divination is not only a collection of beautiful words, but also a way of organizing patterns. Birth data, planetary placements, numbers, symbols, timing, and personal themes can all become part of a larger structure that helps a person understand themselves more deeply.
Through Sandy Tide Readings, I want to create divination content that feels gentle, imaginative, and practical at the same time.
The tone is reflective. The world is symbolic. The purpose is clarity.
Divination content designer based in Japan.
My work focuses on astrology, tarot, and related forms of divination.
I explore how the images and symbols found in tarot cards and birth charts can help us better understand our emotions, relationships, choices, and the direction our lives may be taking. By combining these symbolic interpretations with AI-assisted content design, I create thoughtful and accessible divination content.
Through my readings, I hope to provide a calm and reflective space where people can face uncertainty and confusion without feeling pressured. I approach each reading with curiosity, sincerity, and respect for those seeking guidance.
