Destiny is the Claude Code's plugin that gives you a real fortune reading.
Type /destiny to see today's destiny!
It uses the actual classical East Asian astrology system. You enter your birthday once, then /destiny gives you today's reading anytime.
Two layers, kept honest:
1. The numbers (your eight-character birth chart, today's day pillar, the hexagram for the moment, five-element relationships) are computed by a Python script. Same person + same day = identical output. You can verify against any traditional calendar source.
2. The prose (today's stars, character sketch, life arc, advice) is written by Claude, applying centuries-old reading conventions to that fixed data. Not LLM-hallucinated horoscope.
If you have fun with it, a star would mean a lot.
