If we are inquiring about love, we concentrate on our question while we are tossing the coins. There are 64 hexagrams within the I Ching, and it is through the tossing of the coins that we come up with the correct guidance for our particular situation.
When we finish tossing the coins, we add up the lines and numbers, and we get “our” personal hexagram - the hexagram that holds the information we need and the answers we are looking for. It may sound complicated, but it’s quite easy to catch on to once you’re involved. Heads have a numerical value, as do tails, and after we toss the coins six times, we build what is called a hexagram based on the numerical outcome of the coin toss. The coins have two sides and depending on how they fall, they display either heads or tails. I use pennies, but Chinese coins can be used as well. When we inquire of the oracle that is the I Ching, we toss coins to get a result. In fact, you will never get a straightforward answer from the I Ching - it is meant to utilize your thought process, your intelligence.Īs for predicting the future, it can give profound advice for how one should proceed in life, and depending on the hexagram you throw and the lines that accompany that hexagram, with patience and effort, one can behold a wonder of information that is strictly and specifically related to the question. However, the I Ching is not a “yes” or “no” form of mystical divination.
If one asks a question that pertains to the future, then yes, the I Ching can respond to that question with truth and wisdom.
