About the I Ching Oracle

The I Ching (Book of Changes) is an ancient Chinese system of wisdom and divination. By casting a hexagram in response to your question, it offers a mirror for your situation and guidance on how to move with — rather than against — the flow of change.

An I Ching reading is a tool for reflection. The hexagram you receive, including its judgment and image, is meant to prompt insight into your circumstances and the most balanced way forward.

Frequently asked questions

What is the I Ching?

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest Chinese classics — a divination system over 3,000 years old. It uses 64 hexagrams, each made of six lines, to describe the dynamics of a situation and offer guidance on how to act in harmony with change.

How do I ask the I Ching a question?

Frame an open, sincere question about a situation rather than a yes/no question — for example, "What should I understand about this decision?" You then receive a hexagram whose judgment and image speak to your circumstances.

What is a hexagram?

A hexagram is a figure of six stacked lines, each either broken (yin) or solid (yang). Each of the 64 possible hexagrams has a name, a judgment and an image that together form the reading.
