AI I Ching Reading

Cast three coins six times, ask in your own words, and get a reading written against Orivana's own hexagram text — with a numbered source under every claim so you can check each one.

What is being read

2

Your question

One question, in the words you would use talking to someone. The reading is written against it, so a vague question gets a vague reading.

What this reading does

It reads the hexagram you cast against the question you asked. Where the cast produced changing lines it reads both hexagrams: the first as the situation, the second as where it is going. The model is handed Orivana's published text for those hexagrams — the Judgement, the Image, the line texts, what the two trigrams do together — and nothing else.

Every sentence carries a numbered marker. Press it and you get the entry exactly as the model received it, plus a link to the full hexagram page. A marker pointing at a hexagram you did not cast is stripped by the server before the reading reaches you.

The cast here is three coins, six times, built from the bottom up. The four outcomes are not equally likely — 1/8, 3/8, 3/8, 1/8 — and that is a property of the coin method rather than a fault: forty thousand test casts came out at 12.4, 37.4, 37.5 and 12.6 per cent. Already cast on the I Ching page? The link there brings your six lines straight here.

What to use alongside it

The hexagram pages carry the full text with no limit on how often you read them, and the casting page sets out the methods and how they differ in the odds they produce. A reading is for holding a cast against one question; it is not a replacement for the text.

Common misreading

The commonest is reading the second hexagram as the outcome. It is not a prediction of what happens — it is what the situation turns into if the changing lines play out, which is a description of a direction, not an event with a date.

The second is casting again because the answer was not the wanted one. Orivana will read it, but a question asked four times in an hour is not being asked, it is being negotiated with.
