I Ching online: what it is for

The I Ching, the Book of Changes, is consulted with three coins tossed six times. The tool makes the tosses, shows the value of each one and draws the hexagram line by line, from bottom to top, marking the changing lines.

At the end, you read the meaning of the hexagram for the current situation and, when there are changing lines, of the hexagram it changes into.

How to use

  1. Think of a question.
  2. Tap toss the coins and follow the six lines.
  3. Read the current hexagram and the tendency.

When to use it

  • Reflecting on an important decision.
  • Getting to know the 64 hexagrams.
  • Studying the coin method.

Frequently asked questions

What is the I Ching?

It is the Book of Changes, a classic Chinese text about three thousand years old, used as a book of wisdom and as an oracle. It has 64 hexagrams, figures of six solid (yang) or broken (yin) lines.

How does the coin method work?

Three coins are tossed six times. Heads counts as 3 and tails as 2; the sum of each toss is 6, 7, 8 or 9 and defines one line, from bottom to top. Sums of 6 and 9 are changing lines, which turn into their opposite and form a second hexagram.

What does the second hexagram mean?

The first hexagram describes the current situation. When there are changing lines, the second shows where the situation tends to go.
