“No Philosophy, Just Practical Mechanics”

Yi Xue Divination (Simple Learning Method)

No Philosophy, Just Practical Mechanics

1. Think in Sticks, Not Stars

The Yijing (“Book of Changes”) uses only two symbols:

• ⚊ Yang: Solid line (like a “1” in binary)

• ⚋ Yin: Broken line (like a “0”)

Build your first hexagram:
Stack 6 lines → get 1 of 64 patterns.
Example: ☰ (Heaven) = 6 solid lines | ☷ (Earth) = 6 broken lines.

⚡️ Key Insight: This is ancient binary code—3,000 years before computers.

2. Your Life = 64 “Situation Rooms”

Each hexagram describes a core life scenario:

🔍 Try: Match your current challenge to a hexagram (e.g., stuck at work? → ䷂ Difficulty).

3. Change Your Line, Change Your Story

Some lines move (mutate):

• ⚊ → ⚋ (Yang to Yin)

• ⚋ → ⚊ (Yin to Yang)

Why it matters:

1. Throw 3 coins (heads = 3, tails = 2)

2. Add values → 6, 7, 8, or 9

3. 6/9 = Moving lines → Your situation is shifting!

✨ Example:
Coin toss: 9 (old Yang → new Yin)
= “Release control to gain clarity“

4. Decision-Making Cheat Sheet

Got moving lines? Follow this flowchart:

None

Current Hexagram

Moving Lines?

Read base judgment

Focus on that line’s advice

Read transformed hexagram

Real-case:

• Hexagram #56 (Travel) + Line 3 moving → “Don’t force connections“

5. Practice with Coffee

Try now:

1. Question: Should I take this job offer?

2. Toss coins:

   • Coin 1: Tails (2)

   • Coin 2: Heads (3)

   • Coin 3: Tails (2) → Total = 7 (static Yang)
     *Repeat 5x more → build your hexagram bottom-up*

3. Look up your hexagram: Free Online Yijing

📌 Pro Tip: Start with 1 question/day. Track outcomes in a journal.

Why This Works for Western Minds

• No “belief” required: It’s a pattern-recognition tool (like weather forecasting).

• 3-minute ritual: Faster than checking horoscopes.

• Science-friendly: Mathematically 64 scenarios × 384 line variations = 24,576 possible guidance outputs.

“The Yijing doesn’t give answers—it reorganizes your perspective.”
— Dr. Hilary Barrett, I Ching Translator
