The Book of Changes or Classic of Changes
The I Ching (also spelled Yijing), or "Book of Changes," is one of the oldest and most profound Chinese classic texts. It serves as both a divination system and a philosophical guide, offering insight into change, patterns in nature, and human behavior. It’s been used for over 3,000 years for decision-making, spiritual guidance, and self-reflection.
The I Ching consists of 64 hexagrams, each made up of six lines either broken (yin) or solid (yang).
These hexagrams represent different life situations, energies, or principles of change.
Each hexagram has:
A name and symbolic meaning.
An associated text (often poetic or cryptic).
Commentary and interpretations (added over centuries by Confucian and Taoist scholars)
Themes of the I Ching
Change is constant: Life is always shifting between yin and yang.
Balance is key: Success and peace come through harmony with the flow of life.
Self-awareness and timing: Knowing when to act and when to yield is essential.
Examples of Hexagrams
䷀ Qian (The Creative) – Pure yang energy, symbolizing strength, leadership, and the power of initiating.
䷁ Kun (The Receptive) – Pure yin, representing yielding, nurturing, and the wisdom of support and patience.
䷂ Zhun (Difficulty at the Beginning) – A sign of new beginnings that require perseverance through chaos or confusion.
Use of the coins:
Toss three coins six times.
Heads = 3 (yang), Tails = 2 (yin).
Add each toss to create one line at a time (from bottom to top).
Changing lines (6 or 9) represent shifts, and may lead to a secondary hexagram.

I can help you with an I Ching (Yijing) session - whether you're looking for guidance on a question, want to explore the meaning of specific hexagrams, or are simply curious about how the process works.
Here's how we can proceed:
Ask Your Question
Think of a sincere question you want guidance on. It should be open-ended (not yes/no). Examples:
What should I understand about my current career path?
How can I improve my relationship with [someone]?
What is the potential of this new opportunity?
Coin Toss
Toss 3 coins six times yourself and tell me the results.
Would you like to toss the coins yourself, or shall I do it for you?.
Once we have your question and hexagram, I’ll interpret the primary and (if any) changing hexagram for you.
