About the I Ching
Three Thousand Years
One of the oldest books in the world, the Yijing began as a Bronze Age divination manual and grew over centuries into a philosophical text that influenced Confucius, the Daoists, and the modern psychologist Carl Jung, who saw it as a mirror of the unconscious.
Yin & Yang
Each of the six lines of a hexagram is either a solid yang line (creative, active, firm) or a broken yin line (receptive, yielding, soft). Their arrangement reveals the dynamic balance of forces in your situation.
Moving Lines
When a line is “old” — at the extreme of its energy — it is marked as moving and transforms into its opposite. A cast with moving lines produces two hexagrams: the present situation and the future it is becoming.
Judgment & Image
Each hexagram carries a Judgment — the core oracle describing the nature of the time — and an Image, a reflection drawn from nature that guides how the superior person should act within that time.
The King Wen Sequence
Hexagrams are ordered not by mathematical logic but by the King Wen arrangement, a 3,000-year-old pairing system in which each hexagram stands opposite or complements another, tracing a cycle of change from pure creative force to completion and renewal.
The Coin Method
Three coins are tossed six times. Heads (value 3) and tails (value 2) combine to sums of 6 through 9. Six and nine produce moving lines; seven and eight are static. This online oracle replicates that ancient method exactly.
