How does qChing work?

At our main page, simply think of a question for as long as it takes to begin to imagine its future. If you like, then type your question in the input box, and click on the spinning oracle.

qChing throws your hexagram via the traditional three coin method, and extracts your answer from the King Wen sequence of the I Ching, the world's longest-running oracle. Make sure to click the wheel again to clear the system and start again.

qChing answers the question you ask in one of three ways: 1- with an entire hexagram, 2 - a single line from a single hexagram, or 3 - by transforming, via multiple changing lines, into an altogether new hexagram.

If you wish to know more about your changing lines, click on the ID, or find it by locating its number in the tables below. Remember that in the traditional arrangement of the hexagrams, lines are numbered one to six, with line one at the bottom, and six at the top.

The qChing fortunes are short, streamlined, and cleansed wherever possible, of ideology and prejudice. Our quick fortunes are rendered for the information age, when important decisions are made in a split second. We have put them together drawing from traditional sources, and more than twenty years experience consulting the oracle. We remind you that the readings are metaphorical in nature, more a matter of imaginative guiding than a reporting of facts. This is a book of changes. It invites you to change your perspective and throw again.

If you want to use our engine and seek other readings than our own, we invite you to begin the journey in the famous Wilhelm/Baynes translation, accessible from the grid on the main page, or by clicking the right arrow on any of the fortune readings. Here you'll find long, old-school entries into the hexagrams and their significances.

Are you serious? qChing works?

The divinatory system at the heart of I Ching, an ancient computer program, works. qChing has only changed speeds, taking the oracle closer to the core of the moment than its inventors dreamed possible.

qChing does not presume to replace the actual I Ching, the literary classic that is widely available in every language in which books are published. Nor will it attempt to educate you on that book and its moral philosophy. Instead, it attempts to unveil the oracle's own message.

What is known casually today as the I Ching is in fact a palimpsest of several generations of texts laid over a radically ancient divinatory system. Necessary mystic obscurity has resulted in modern over-explication. Lost: the world's oldest and best compass for voyaging the multiverse.
