What is the I Ching?

The I Ching, also known as the Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text dating back over 3,000 years. It uses a system of 64 hexagrams to provide guidance on life's questions and situations.

How do I cast a hexagram?

You can cast a hexagram using the traditional yarrow stalk method (simulated by Kanguru) or the coin method. Simply visit the lookup page and either use Kanguru or consult the hexagram table directly.
