What you get
- Primary and changed hexagrams with moving lines
- Six Relatives, Six Spirits, Self/Other and Na Jia
- Support, resistance and change around the significator
How it works
- Inputs
- One concrete question; choose virtual coins, yarrow, a time seed or manual six-line values.
- Method
- Center the reading on the event question, then organize moving lines and conditions that can be checked in reality. The result does not make the decision for you.
How to read it
Choose the significator from the question, then examine month/day strength, Self/Other and moving-line relationships. Verify the direction against real conditions.
Need a manual six-line layout without a question-focused reading? Use the I Ching hexagram calculator.
Want a time-based cast with primary, inner and changed trigrams? Compare it with the Meihua divination calculator.
Cast six lines from the bottom up
Start with one question, then choose Three coins or I cast it myself in the form. For a reproducible note, choose manual input and enter six values from the first line at the bottom to the top line last: 6 is old yin and moving, 7 is young yang, 8 is young yin, and 9 is old yang and moving. The first value is therefore the bottom line, not the top line.
The three-coin control records each throw. Under the site’s selected mapping, one back gives 7, two backs give 8, three backs give 9, and three word-side faces give 6. If you are checking a previous cast, write down the actual six values, question and time, then use the manual control so the example can be reproduced from visible inputs. Keep the primary and changed hexagrams separate from the later reading.
Worked example: one moving line and a changed hexagram
This is a site-authored structural example for 8 October 2026 at 14:18 in Asia/Shanghai, using the question “Should I accept this contract?” and the manual values 9, 7, 8, 7, 8, 7 from bottom to top. The resulting primary, inner and changed hexagrams, moving line and Self/Other positions are recorded below so you can reproduce the same chart without relying on a random cast.
Read the primary hexagram first, identify the significator that matches the question, then inspect the moving line and changed hexagram. The chart organizes conditions such as documents, responses and constraints; it does not decide whether to sign. Check the contract, deadlines, money and advice from the appropriate professional in the real situation.

Frequently asked questions
What is Six-Line Divination?＋
Ask one question and cast three virtual coins—or enter six lines—to create a free Liu Yao chart with moving lines, changed hexagram and Six Relatives. It uses the same submitted inputs and fixed calculation rules each time.
What information does Six-Line Divination need?＋
One concrete question; choose virtual coins, yarrow, a time seed or manual six-line values.
What does the result include?＋
Primary and changed hexagrams with moving lines; Six Relatives, Six Spirits, Self/Other and Na Jia; Support, resistance and change around the significator.
How is the chart calculated?＋
Center the reading on the event question, then organize moving lines and conditions that can be checked in reality. The result does not make the decision for you.
What if the time or place is uncertain?＋
Use the closest supported value, keep the uncertainty visible, and compare boundary cases before interpreting the result.
