How to use the index

If you already cast a reading, search by hexagram name, number, or symbol and open the matching meaning page. If you know the upper and lower trigrams, use the trigram finder. If you are studying the 64 hexagrams, start with the first two hexagrams, then compare clear pairs such as Peace and Standstill.

More than a keyword list

The pages keep the judgment, image, practical notes, and lines visible. A useful reading asks about timing, risk, roles, boundaries, and next steps.

How these pages are edited

The pages keep the traditional hexagram structure visible, then explain what it can mean for timing, risk, roles, boundaries, and next steps.

Use the question

The same hexagram reads differently in love, work, money, or family. Context matters, and a changing line should be read after the whole hexagram.

64 Hexagram Index FAQ

Where should I start after receiving a hexagram?

Read the hexagram name, trigrams, judgment, image, and practical note first. If you have a changing line, read it after the whole hexagram.

Can I search by trigram instead of name?

Yes. Choose the upper and lower trigrams to locate the matching hexagram, or use the search box if you already know the name or number.

Are these pages direct advice?

They are reading notes for timing, risk, position, and conduct. For health, legal, money, or safety matters, keep the reading beside real records and qualified help.
