The iChing is the ancient Taoist book of metaphors, written to offer guidance in the inevitable changes of life. The iChing consists of sixty-four hexagrams, the number of combinations mathematically possible with six solid and broken lines. The broken lines "- -" are yin, or passive, dark, yielding. The solid lines are yang, active, light, reaching. Ancient Taoist scholars recorded meanings for each of the sixty-four combinations.
I wrote Learning to Flow with the Tao in 1994 based on many years of studying a variety of English editions.

Throw sticks or coins to choose a hexagram and find it on this chart. Remember, the hexagrams read bottom to top. The first line is the bottom line, the sixth line is the top line.
