Cast the I Ching
Hold a question in mind and cast the coins. The oldest oracle answers in one of 64 hexagrams — and shows you what is changing.
The eight trigrams
Stack any two of the eight trigrams — one below, one above — and you get one of the 64 hexagrams. Each trigram is a force of nature.
All 64 hexagrams
The King Wen sequence — tap any to read its judgment, its image, and the two trigrams that build it.
What the I Ching is
The Book of Changes
The I Ching is one of the oldest books in the world — a Chinese oracle and wisdom text more than three thousand years old. It reads the moment you are in as one of 64 archetypal situations, each a hexagram of six lines.
Hexagrams & lines
Each hexagram is six stacked lines, solid (yang) or broken (yin), grouped as two trigrams. The pattern names a situation; the lines describe its stages from the ground up.
Changing lines
When you cast, some lines come up “changing” — moving from yin to yang or back. They mark what is in motion, and they transform your hexagram into a second one: where the situation is heading.
How to ask
Hold a real, open question — not yes/no, but “what do I need to understand about…”. Cast, read the hexagram you receive, then the one it changes into. The oracle describes forces, not fixed fate.
