Frequently Asked Questions

The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is one of the oldest texts of Chinese civilization, dating back approximately 3,000 years. It is both a divination system and a philosophical treatise based on 64 hexagrams, each composed of six solid (yang) or broken (yin) lines. It is used as a tool for personal reflection and discernment.

Our application uses the traditional three-coin method. For each line of the hexagram, three coins are tossed simultaneously. The combination of heads and tails determines whether the line is yin or yang, and whether it is changing (in transformation). Six tosses produce a situation hexagram and, if there are changing lines, a perspective hexagram.

A hexagram is a figure composed of six stacked lines, each of which can be solid (———, yang) or broken (— —, yin). There are 64 possible hexagrams, each carrying a name, a judgment and an image. Each hexagram is formed by two trigrams (groups of 3 lines): a lower trigram and an upper trigram.

Changing lines are lines in transformation. An old yang (9) transforms into yin, and an old yin (6) transforms into yang. These lines indicate movement, an evolution of your situation towards a new configuration. The specific text of each changing line provides additional insight into your question.

The AI interpretation is a complementary tool that contextualizes the traditional I Ching texts in relation to your specific question. It does not replace the classic texts (which are always displayed), nor professional advice. Consider it as additional insight to nourish your personal reflection.

Prefer open-ended questions that invite reflection rather than closed questions (yes/no). For example, instead of "Should I change jobs?", try "What attitude should I adopt regarding my current professional situation?". Questions that start with "How", "What" or "Which" generally work well.

A trigram is a symbol composed of three lines, yin or yang. There are 8 fundamental trigrams: Heaven, Earth, Water, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Mountain and Lake. Each hexagram is formed by two trigrams, and their interaction determines the meaning of the hexagram.
