The ancient art of Chinese divination, dating back to almost 2800BC. This App. is built to make consulting the I-Ching or "Book of Changes" Oracle fun and easy. The sat-nav of its day, the I-Ching can answer your questions, and give you a unique insight into your present and future situation.

Ive been using variants of the I-Ching for years and felt that this would be perfect as an app. I built the original version of the App, for the Apple Newton Message pad and built versions for each generation of device.

I provide a simple means to cast coins, to produce both the six lines of a Hexagram or three lines of a Triagram. The Triagram view, lets you quickly obtain a reading giving you one of the 8 base symbols, you can then see the related attributes like direct to travel, family member etc. represented by the pictogram.

The Hexagram view allows for a full textual divination to be shown including description of lines that move from Yin/Yang state.

A full history is maintained too, so you can always look back at your readings over time.

This all may sound complex, but its simple fun and truly enlightening.

Ive built the App. following the collective knowledge on Wikipedia at -
