INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
When it comes to the study and teachings of philosophy, few cultures have had such a long and varied history as the Chinese. For generations, the Chinese people have used some of these philosophies for everything from answering simple everyday questions to determining the path of an individual's life. To this day, these philosophies are still in use. There is one school of Chinese philosophy called the Changing Hexagram Divination Method . The source of the Changing Hexagram Divination Method is derived from what is known as the Yi Jing. Literally translated, it means the Classic of Change. The Yi Jing is one of the oldest books in Chinese culture or history. With its ancient writing style, later generations have found it difficult to understand. It is often viewed as profound, mysterious, and difficult to penetrate. However, the concept surrounding of the Classic of Change is a simple one: there are infinite changes in the universe, yet the universe itself never changes. All beings and all things are in a constant state of change. For example, every year brings the changing of seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. After winter, the process starts over again with the return of spring. While this is change, it reveals an unchanging nature. Look at the universe: there are infinite changes every day, yet the universe never goes off track. That is its unchanging nature and demonstrates the simplicity of it all. II
The Classic of Change is not what most people may think. It is not so mysterious, unpredictable and difficult to
The Classic of Change is not what most people may think. It is not so mysterious, unpredictable and difficult to understand. In the journey of life, we often experience times of doubt, confusion, and feeling lost. What should we do when facingthis type of situation? For example, a husband and a wife are on the verge of splitting up. Should they separate, or stay together? Or, perhaps a business owner is in urgent need of financial resourc es, but there is no help ne arby. Should he maintain the company or declare bankruptcy? These are difficult decisions to make. The Changing Hexagram Divination Method can help by predicting what may happen. It can give guidelines for coping with difficult situations or insight into good ones. This book is not for the scholar to study or research the Yi Jing in all of its wisdom. However, it does provide a simple method for the reader to predict the answers to their questions and to help others. Besides resolving confusion and doubt, it also provides a fun hobby for those interested in the ancient art of divination.
Use this book as your consultant when the need arises. Consult it for questions of love, money, marriage, family or anything else you're searching for the answer to. May good fortune be with you.

T he Coin Method Of Yi J in D ivination
T he Coin Method Of Yi J ing D ivination
One simple and common method of asking advice from the Yi Jing involves the use of three coins. This method is described below. Phrasing questions
It is better not to ask yes/no or either/or questions. You can phrase questions like this: What would be the results if I were to marry this person? Describe my relationship with Thomas. What do I need to do or understand to make this marriage better? Two Cautions When you ask, try not to be attached to the results that you want. This will only muddy your ability to connect with the Yi Jing, and leave you with an inaccurate interpretation.
Do not repeat a question to the Yi Jing in a short period of time. There is no point in re-asking until you get the answer you want. The first answer is the most accurate answer. Even if you don’t totally understand it now, it may make sense in time. Casting an Yi Jing reading with coins
There are many ways to do a reading. One of the most common is using three identical coins. Have a pencil and paper ready on an uncluttered table. Decide in advance which side of the coins is heads and which is tails.
IV
1. Hold the three coins until they are warm, while focusing on your question. 2. When you feel comfortable, toss the coins, while still
1. Hold the three coins until they are warm, while focusing on your question. 2. When you feel comfortable, toss the coins, while still concentrating on the issue. 3. Mark down how many coins were heads and how many were tails. 4. Repeat the coin toss five more times, for a total of six throws. Mark each toss on the paper in order, with the first throw on the bottom, and progressing upward with each toss of the coins. Inte In terp rpre reti ting ng th thee co coin inss
Inspect the coins and note the distribution of heads and tails. Each side corresponds to yin or yang, and has a numerical value:
YIN
Tails
YANG
Head
2 3
You can add up the numerical values or use the information in the following table:

Hexagram Chart VII
At this time, ignore the changing lines. Remember, count from the bottom to top. In the example above, the lower trigram (lines 1, 2 and 3) is yang-yang-yin or Dui. A lower trigram of Dui is read across the second row of the chart. The upper trigram (lines 4, 5 and 6) is yang-yin-yin or Zhen. The upper trigram of Zhen is read from the fourth column. If we find where the Dui row and the Zhen column intersect, we see that the hexagram in our example is number 54. Find the hexagram with that number in this book. The Original Hexagram (Ben Gua )
The hexagram that we have just thrown is called the original hexagram. It represents the situation as it exists in the present as a whole. Read its text and ponder its significance and advice or warnings. The Changing Lines (Bian Yao )
The lines made by 3 heads (total of 9) or 3 tails (total of 6) are called changing lines. They are used in the interpretation for more complex forms of divination. However, for this book, we will only use the changing lines to help us find a future hexagram. The more changing lines there are, the more unstable the situation is. One or two are a relatively gradual amount of change. Anything more can mean drastic change. The absence of changing lines means the situation is very stable, or even stagnant.
VIII
In the example above, we would change lines 2 and 5. The other lines will stay stable.
In the example above, we would change lines 2 and 5. The other lines will stay stable. The Future Hexagram (Zhi Gua )
The future hexagram is made by transforming the changing lines to their opposite, while leaving the other lines alone.

The Categories of Readings in this Book
Each hexagram gives the original words of the Yi Jing, which are often quite mysterious. Then this book provided an overall meaning for the hexagram, which is general, but practical. Finally, there are three categories related to love and the family: Love:
This category relates to single people, whether they are alone or are dating. However, this category is for those who are not yet contemplating marriage. Marriage:
This category is for a person who is ready to propose to their loved one, and for couples contemplating marriage or moving in with each other. Family:
This category relates to those who are already married. It talks about the relationship between spouses and may include additional members of the immediate family. It can include people who are living together in a committed relationship, even if they are not legally married.
Example One In the example we gave above, Hexagram 54, the Marriage of a Younger Sister changed to become Hexagram 17, Following. If a married woman asked this about her husband, it would tell her that her husband is being tempted by extramarital affairs. The future hexagram suggests that if she starts paying more attention to him, perhaps she can bring him back to her. X

With Hexagram 11 as the future, it tells her that if she can control her temper, they will be well suited for each other. (Hexagram 11)

Example Three A man wants to ask his girlfriend to marry him. He asks the Yi Jing if this is the appropriate time. He receives Hexagram 48, The Well, with the bottom three lines changing. The result is Hexagram 3, Initial Difficulty. For marriage, Hexagram 48 tells him that even though they seem to be getting along well now, some things still need to be worked out. It tells him that the marriage may be possible in the future, if they go slowly. However, Hexagram 3 is more pessimistic. The future holds many difficulties for this marriage. So, the marriage is still possible, but sometime in the more distant future, and only if, as Hexagram 48 warns them, they are sincere and are sure that this relationship is true love. (Hexagram 48)
