A Progressive Web-App for getting a daily I Ching reading and sharing results.
🤔 What is the I Ching
The I Ching, usually translated to Book of Changes, dates back to 1,000 BC. This several thousand year old book is regarded as a foundational text of eastern wisdom and philosophy. Originally a divination manual, the I Ching is meant to provide insight and guidance for moral decision making. An I Ching reading comes in the form of a Hexagram which consists of six lines which are either broken (yin) or unbroken (yang).🔮 How to consult the I Ching
Back in the day, people would throw yarrow stalks to calculate and construct their Hexagrams. Tossing coins, usually three at a time, is a more modern and convenient method. Those analog methods require calculations and often involve interpreting changing lines.To use this app, all you need to do is press the Divinate button. We recommend doing only one reading a day and sitting with the result. Each Hexagram is unique and has a number. Feel free to google your Hexagram number to read more about it.
