I Ching Online — Ask, Cast, Understand

You are not looking up a hexagram's text. You are asking about one thing in your life — and casting for its answer.

Cast your hexagram

  1. Hold your question in your mind — one matter, one casting.
  2. Be still and sincere — settle the heart before you cast.
  3. Focus — keep your attention on the one question only.
  4. Cast once — the same question is never cast twice.

“As the I Ching itself warns: it does not answer the same question asked twice.”

Hexagram 4, Meng (蒙):初筮告,再三渎,渎则不告。

Frequently asked questions

What is the I Ching?

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest Chinese classics — a book of divination and wisdom built from 64 hexagrams, six-line figures of broken and unbroken lines. For three thousand years people have cast it to look at one specific question: a decision, a relationship, a turning point.

How do I cast a hexagram online here?

Hold your question in your mind and shake the coin cup. Three coins are thrown six times, and each throw builds one line of the hexagram from the bottom up. When the sixth line is set, your hexagram is complete — with its changing lines, which is where a reading really begins.

Is the reading free?

Yes. Casting a hexagram and the basic reading are free. The full analysis — every line read in turn, the changed hexagram it points toward, and follow-up questions — is available for a one-time fee.
