I Ching Divination
Cast the coins six times; AI reads the hexagram and suggests what to do
About I Ching divination
The Yi has sixty-four hexagrams and three hundred and eighty-four lines, covering every change in heaven and earth. I Ching divination casts the coins six times to form a hexagram: the primary hexagram shows the state of the present, the changed hexagram points to where it is heading, and the judgment and line texts carry quiet guidance on whether to advance or withdraw. In times of indecision, the Yi has always been the place to take a question.
问真岛 keeps to the traditional way of casting. Once the six casts are complete, AI combines the hexagram, the lines and the texts into a full reading. If something is weighing on you, it may be worth casting with a sincere heart.

Frequently asked questions
Put the question as clearly as you can. The more focused it is, the more usable the hexagram is when you come back to read it.
The primary hexagram leans towards the present state, the changed hexagram towards the direction of change or what follows. Read together, they make the rhythm of the situation easier to grasp.

How to read the sixty-four hexagrams online
I Ching divination comes down to one thing: using the hexagram to see your present situation, the direction of change, and the choice between advancing and withdrawing. The sixty-four hexagrams are structures of situation; reading one is a matter of finding the thread that matches your question.
Six lines, a start
Casting six lines: setting the hexagram and reading it
Six-line casting shakes three coins six times to form a hexagram, then sets out the stems and branches, the six relations and the positions of shi and ying, and reads one specific affair through the favourable element and the moving lines. It is finer than reading the judgment alone, and it depends more on how well you define what you are asking.
Six-line casting
Casting six lines online
Casting six lines online replaces the three coins with a random draw, giving the primary hexagram, the moving lines and the changed hexagram, then judges advance and retreat around one clear question. Going online only hands the act of casting to the system; the way of reading is no different from doing it by hand.
