Frequently Asked Questions

What is the I Ching used for?

The I Ching is consulted for guidance on decisions where the right course of action is unclear. It does not predict the future — it describes the present situation and how it is likely to evolve, helping you see what you might be missing.

How do you consult the I Ching?

Traditionally, you toss three coins six times to build a hexagram (six lines, each solid or broken). Each hexagram corresponds to one of 64 chapters. Modern methods use apps or online tools, but the coin method remains the classic approach.

How does the I Ching relate to feng shui and Bazi?

All three share the same frameworks: yin and yang, the five elements, and the eight trigrams (bagua). The I Ching defines 64 hexagrams from trigram combinations — the same trigrams used in the feng shui bagua map.
