INTRODUCTION
II
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 resources, but there is no help nearby.
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.
III
The Coin Method Of
Yi Jing Divination
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 dont totally understand it now, it may make
sense in time.
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
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.
Interpreting the coins
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 2
YANG Head 3
You can add up the numerical values or use the information
in the following table:
1 head
2 tails
Yang Line stable and does not change.
7
The 1 head rules the 2 tails. This line is
1 tail
2 heads
Yin Line
stable and does not change.

The 1 tail rules the 2 heads. This line is

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 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.

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 extra-
marital affairs. The future hexagram suggests that if she starts
paying more attention to him, perhaps she can bring him back
to her.

Example Two
A single woman is dating a man she likes a lot, but she
finds herself getting in little arguments over his lateness.
She asks the Yi Jing and gets Hexagram 5, Waiting, with
line 5 changing. This makes the future Hexagram 11, Peace.
Hexagram 5 reminds her to be a little more patient. With
Hexagram 11 as the future, it tells her that if she can control
her temper, they will be well suited for each other.

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.

you are not feeling secure. Neither of
you are being truthful to each other
and you are covering up your own issues.
Be careful of over estimating your lover

your partner. Do not be infatuated with
their outer appearances and wind up
regretting it later.

you will expand upward and succeed in your goal.
Love:
If involved in a relationship, you will be clashing
with each other. This will result in going back
and forth, separating and getting back together.
If you have already separated, you will be able
to get back together. If you have already lost
this relationship, another new relationship will
soon appear.
Marriage:
If you work on your problems when encountering
difficulties and obstacles, you can accomplish your
marriage wish.
Family
Due to different opinions, you have separated.
As long as one of you swallows their pride and
apologizes, you will be able to get back together
and have things as they were before.
