By Time — Uses the date and hour. Best for reading the energy of a specific moment. Auto-fills with the current time.
By Numbers — Enter three numbers from your environment (license plate, phone number, address, etc.). Any positive integers work.
By Text — Type any word, name, or phrase. The tool converts each character to its code and derives the hexagram.
Step 2 — Enter Your Input
Fill in the fields that appear based on your chosen method. For the Time method, click "Use Current Time" to auto-fill, or enter any date and hour manually.
Step 3 — Cast the Hexagram
Click "Cast Hexagram". The tool instantly calculates your reading.
Step 4 — Read Your Result
The result shows three hexagrams and a moving line:
Original Hexagram (本卦) — Your current situation.
Changed Hexagram (变卦) — The likely outcome after transformation.
Nuclear Hexagram (互卦) — Hidden underlying forces.
Moving Line (动爻) — The specific advice for this moment. Often the most actionable part.
Reading the Lines
Each hexagram has six lines, stacked bottom to top (line 1 at the bottom, line 6 at the top):
Solid line (━━━━━) = Yang (阳) — active energy
Broken line (━━ ━━) = Yin (阴) — receptive energy
× or ○ marker = Moving line — this line is changing
Tips
Clear your mind and focus on a specific question before casting.
Traditionally, do not re-ask the same question — study the first reading more deeply instead.
Start with the Original Hexagram, then check the Moving Line for specific guidance, then the Changed Hexagram for the outcome.
Original Hexagram (Ben Gua)
Changed Hexagram (Bian Gua)
Nuclear Hexagram (Hu Gua)
The Nuclear Hexagram represents the underlying forces and hidden dynamics within the situation. It is formed from lines 2-3-4 (lower nuclear) and 3-4-5 (upper nuclear) of the Original Hexagram.
