    Three Thousand Years of Counsel

    I Ching Oracle

    The Book of Changes — consulted by emperors, sages, and scholars since the Western Zhou dynasty. Three coins, six casts, one of sixty-four answers — and, where the lines change, a glimpse of where the situation is moving.

    0/240

    The Method

    Three coins are cast six times, building a hexagram from bottom to top. Each line is yang (solid) or yin (broken), and may be a changing line — a moving line that points to a second hexagram, the situation's likely transformation.

    Step by Step

    How to cast an I Ching reading

    Use the three-coin method to consult the Book of Changes and read the hexagram plus any changing lines.

    1. 1

      Form a clear question

      Phrase the question openly. The I Ching answers situation and movement, not yes/no.

    2. 2

      Cast six times

      Tap to cast three coins six times. Each cast builds one line of the hexagram from bottom to top.

    3. 3

      Read the primary hexagram

      Study the resulting hexagram's judgment and image. This describes the present situation.

    4. 4

      Note any changing lines

      Lines marked as 'old yin' or 'old yang' are in motion. Read their individual texts as guidance on the dynamic.

    5. 5

      Read the resulting hexagram

      If there are changing lines, a second hexagram emerges. It indicates where the situation is moving.
