Take advantage of a free I Ching reading! You will get a choice of methods. You can either allow the computer to generate your guas for you or you can throw your own coins or choose your own beads. You will get a reading showing the judgment and image for the initial gua, the text for all changing lines, and the judgment and image for the final gua. Text is from the I Ching or Book of Changes by Wilhelm/Baynes. In addition, you will be able to write notes about your reading and print it all up for your records.

Choose the method you would like to use:
