I Ching Divination
The I Ching (易经), or Book of Changes, has guided seekers for over 3,000 years. Cast three coins six times — each throw builds a line of your hexagram. The resulting pattern offers wisdom about your question, drawn from 64 archetypal situations.
"The gentle overcomes the strong. The dark gives birth to the light."
How to Read I Ching
Stable lines (7 or 9) describe the current situation. Changing lines (6 or 9) show transformation in progress — these turn into their opposite, revealing the future hexagram. The Judgment is the core meaning; changing lines give specific advice for your circumstances.
Mian Xiang — Chinese Face Reading
Upload a photo or use your camera. Mian Xiang (面相) reads your character and life tendencies through facial features — the three zones (Heaven, Human, Earth), the five elements in your face shape, and key landmarks like eyes, nose, and mouth.
The Three Zones
Heaven (upper face) — Forehead to brows: youth, intellect, early luck. A broad, clear forehead suggests intelligence and good roots.
Human (middle face) — Brows to nose tip: career, health, middle age. The nose represents wealth and status.
Earth (lower face) — Nose to chin: later years, relationships, stability. A strong chin signals good fortune in old age.
☯ Yin and Yang
The universe dances between two fundamental forces — Yin (passive, dark, receptive) and Yang (active, light, expansive). In BaZi, each Heavenly Stem carries a Yin or Yang quality that shapes how its element expresses itself. Balance between the two in your chart brings harmony; extremes create intensity.
🌿 Five Elements (Wu Xing)
Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water — not materials, but energies in constant motion. Every person's chart has a unique elemental fingerprint.
Generating Cycle: Wood → Fire → Earth → Metal → Water → Wood
Controlling Cycle: Wood → Earth → Water → Fire → Metal → Wood
Balanced charts have all five elements. Missing elements signal areas for conscious growth. Dominant elements show natural strengths — and blind spots.
