Many of us are familiar with the great powers of the Chinese Oracle known as the I Ching. It offers answers to personal queries that help people understand their present problems. On would love to have simplified readings based on the wisdom of the I Ching text. One can consult the I Ching to gain knowledge and help for any kind of situation.

I Ching advocates the idea of change. It also makes one understand the relationship between opposites. This is represented by Yang and Yin. Yang corresponds to creative, active, expansive force. Yin corresponds to receptive, mutable, contracting form. Both need to be balanced for a relationship to be harmonious. Yang is represented by the unbroken line ( ---------) and yin is represented by the broken line ( ---- ----)

There are 64 situations mentioned in the I Ching, each one represented by a hexagram made up of 6 broken or unbroken lines. Once the hexagram has been generated, the meaning is understood by consulting the I Ching oracle. The reading comprises of three parts:

The Judgment: This provides us with a short description about the hexagram and its meaning. It gives us suggestions about actions that need to be undertaken.

The Image: This is also similar to the Judgment but gives us a course of action that needs to be undertaken.

The Changing Lines: These lines represent the changes that may occur in your life, the present or future, opportunities and dangers that you may have to overcome.
