I Ching

Compose your thoughts.

Relax.

When you have a question, type it in the box, and click on the "Ask I Ching" button below:

Please note that your question is anonymous and private, and that it is only used to create a random seed for the random number generator.

A fortune telling program using ancient Chinese symbols isn't particularly like gambling, but both involve some element of randomness and an uncertain future with hopes and dreams attached to them.

I've just set up a Yahoo Group for I Ching fans to discuss this topic, please feel free to check it out:

Air Over Earth

If you prefer to cast your own coins, use the pull-down menus below to convert the results into hexagrams.







Please note that the method used for the pull-down menu method is as follows:

Add up the total of the coins using 2 points for yin (tails)
   and 3 points for yang (heads).

Draw the first line (remember to start at the ground),
    Value  Line    Meaning
    -----------------------------------
      6    --x--   old/moving Yin line
      7    -----   Yang line
      8    -- --   Yin line
      9    --o--   old/moving Yang line
