ASK I CHING Guide

Getting Started

Welcome to the I Ching Oracle. This guide will help you understand how to use our platform to receive guidance and insights from the ancient wisdom of the I Ching.

1. Formulate Your Question

Begin by clearly formulating your question. The I Ching works best with questions that are specific, sincere, and focused on guidance rather than simple yes/no answers.

Example: "What should I consider regarding this career change?" rather than "Should I change jobs?"

2. Cast Your Hexagram

After entering your question, you can cast your hexagram using either our virtual coin method or the AI-guided approach. Both methods will generate a hexagram that relates to your question.

Focus on your question while the casting process takes place, maintaining a calm and receptive state of mind.

3. Explore Your Reading

Once your hexagram appears, you'll receive an interpretation that relates to your question. You can then engage with our AI to explore the meaning more deeply and discuss how it applies to your specific situation.

The AI can help clarify aspects of the reading and suggest practical applications for the wisdom received.
