About the Book of Changes

Casting the I-Ching

What it is

A Chinese classic roughly three thousand years old. Six coin throws build a hexagram of solid and broken lines; the changing lines point to a second, relating hexagram — the situation, and where it is tending.

How we cast

The traditional three-coin method, thrown fairly six times. We compute both the primary and the relating hexagram and give you the classical judgment, not a watered-down summary.

How to read it

The I-Ching answers in image and analogy, never in instructions. Sit with the judgment and the changing lines against your real question. It rewards reflection, not obedience.
