Sample Yijing readings
Since I first started working with Yi, I’ve enjoyed asking about the outcome of tennis matches. The dual between individuals, as much psychological as technical – it’s something very natural to divine about, and the outcomes teach me a lot about the hexagrams involved.
You may know my husband doesn’t believe in the efficacy of divination. So of course I had to mention to him how accurately I could call a tennis match, didn’t I?

I Ching Community Discussion Forum: Spiritual hierarchy Last November, Val asked Yi if there was such a thing as spiritual hierarchy. The answer was Hexagram 23 changing to 24. This reading surely emphasises that there are differences, like those between the junzi and the ‘small people’ of the top line,… Read more »ICC: Hexagrams 23 and 24, and spiritual hierarchy
I Ching Community Discussion Forum: How do I apply the principles of the Yijing to this one??? A really concerted effort to do so by the excellent readers at the ICC.
I Ching Community Discussion Forum: One Minute Millionaire 24.2.5 to 60. Some good interpretations here into an interesting project. Could be a thread to watch.
And look – here’s a new, dedicated I Ching political blog, no less: Mme. Zaratamara consults the I Ching (I really must stop browsing and playing with my new toy, and get some proper work done!) Mme Zaratamara – who is left-leaning – asked the oracle how the US could… Read more »Yi on withdrawal from Iraq
