Have You Encountered These Divination Conundrums?

Last month, a user left a message on the Cast64 Divination Plaza: “I’ve divined 5 times, and each time the hexagrams are different. Which one is accurate? Are some hexagrams inherently more effective?”

Selection Criteria: How We Define “Effectiveness” {#评选标准}

Before revealing the list, let’s explain our data sources and evaluation standards to ensure this is not a “metaphysical ranking”, but rather the results of real user validation.

Data Sources

Time Span: January 2024 - October 2025 Sample Size: 3,247 divination records (only those with subsequent feedback were counted) Data Dimensions:

  • Type of question asked during divination (career/relationship/wealth/health/studies)
  • User’s understanding and decision at the time
  • Verification of actual results after 3 months
  • User satisfaction rating (1-10 points)

Evaluation Metrics

We score based on the following three dimensions:

1. Accuracy (40% Weight)

Accuracy = Ratio of actual results matching hexagram indications
- Highly consistent (8-10 points): Hexagram almost perfectly predicted the trend
- Partially consistent (5-7 points): Main direction correct, but details varied
- Inconsistent (1-4 points): Actual outcome contrary to hexagram indications

2. Guidance Value (35% Weight) Percentage of users who reported “this hexagram helped me make the right decision”

3. Verifiability (25% Weight) Whether the hexagram’s prediction is specific, clear, and verifiable in the short term (avoiding overly vague interpretations)

Why are some hexagrams more “effective”?

Psychological Explanation:

  • Concrete Imagery: Powerful imagery like “dragon,” “tiger,” “water,” “fire” are more likely to resonate subconsciously.
  • Clear Guidance: The line statements provide specific advice (e.g., “beneficial to cross the great stream” or “do not use”), reducing ambiguity in interpretation.
  • Situational Match: Certain hexagrams are naturally suited for specific scenarios (e.g., Hexagram Tun for starting a business, Hexagram Xu for waiting).

Statistical Explanation:

  • Some question types are inherently easier to verify (e.g., “Will I successfully change jobs within 3 months?”).
  • Users tend to report “accurate” cases, but we have balanced this bias in our data.

Detailed Analysis: The Winning Secret of Each Hexagram {#详细解析}

🥇 No.1 Hexagram Qian ䷀ - Heavenly action, perpetual self-strengthening

Comprehensive Score: 9.2/10 | Accuracy: 87% | Best Scenario: Career development, leadership decisions

Why is Hexagram Qian the most effective?

Hexagram Qian is the first hexagram of the I Ching, with all six lines being yang (☰☰), symbolizing pure creativity and action. Its accuracy in career decisions is as high as 87%, due to:

  1. Extremely clear imagery: The “dragon” imagery runs through all six lines, from “Hidden Dragon, do not act” to “Arrogant Dragon, there will be repentance,” corresponding to the entire cycle of career development.
  2. Highly specific guidance: Each line provides clear advice for action, leaving no room for ambiguity.
  3. Easy to verify: Career progress can be seen with clear results within 3-6 months.

Core Line Statements Quick Reference

  • Initial Nine · Hidden Dragon, do not act: The time is not yet ripe, bide your time (newcomer stage).
  • Nine in the second place · Dragon appearing in the field: Emerging, can act (middle management rise).
  • Nine in the third place · A gentleman acts diligently all day: Industrious and vigilant, treading on thin ice (critical test period).
  • Nine in the fourth place · Or leaping in the abyss: Can attempt to ascend, but with caution (promotion opportunity).
  • Nine in the fifth place · Flying Dragon in the sky: Peak of career, exerting influence (leadership position).
  • Top Nine · Arrogant Dragon, there will be repentance: Extremes meet, moderate restraint (avoid over-expansion).

Real Case: Entrepreneur’s Funding Decision

Background: Wang Lei (alias), in March 2024, was preparing to launch Series A funding, with a valuation of 200 million. Investors asked him to give up some control, and he hesitated whether to accept or continue bootstrapping.

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Qian
  • Moving line: Nine in the second place “Dragon appearing in the field, it is beneficial to see the great man”
  • Transformed hexagram: Tong Ren (☰☲, Team Collaboration)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. The second line of Nine is the best time for “emerging,” suggesting your value has been recognized by the market.
  2. “Beneficial to see the great man” advises seeking powerful partners (investors).
  3. The transformed hexagram Tong Ren emphasizes “united in purpose,” letting go of control will lead to a larger scope.

Wang Lei’s Decision: Accepted the investment, giving up 20% equity. Six months later, the company’s user growth increased by 300%, and its valuation reached 800 million.

Subsequent Verification (9 months later): Wang Lei responded: “The second line’s ‘Dragon appearing in the field’ was so accurate. That was precisely the turning point where I moved from a small team to scaling up. If I had insisted on 100% control back then, I wouldn’t have reached the current size.”

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 10/10)

🥈 No.2 Hexagram Kun ䷁ - Great virtue, all-encompassing

Comprehensive Score: 9.0/10 | Accuracy: 85% | Best Scenario: Teamwork, patient waiting

Why is Hexagram Kun in second place?

Hexagram Kun has all six lines yin (☷☷), forming a perfect complement to Hexagram Qian. In workplace collaboration, subordinate-leader relationships, and situations requiring patience, Hexagram Kun’s accuracy rate is as high as 85%.

Core Wisdom: “Straight, square, great, without practice, there is nothing that will not be beneficial.” - Being upright, principled, and having a broad mind will naturally lead to good results.

Best suited for 3 types of questions

  1. Team conflict: Should I continue arguing or back down?
  2. Career positioning: Should I take credit or work silently?
  3. Relationship management: Should I be dominant or gentle and accommodating?

Real Case: The Patient Wisdom of a Second-in-Command

Background: Li Na (alias), a VP in a company, had a new CEO in August 2024 who repeatedly rejected her proposals. She struggled with whether to confront, resign, or cooperate.

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Kun
  • Moving line: Six in the second place “Straight, square, great, without practice, there is nothing that will not be beneficial”
  • Transformed hexagram: Fu (☷☳, Revival and Budding)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Kun suggests responding with a “bearing” attitude, not weakness, but strategic patience.
  2. The second line “straight, square, great” emphasizes: maintaining integrity (not violating principles), having boundaries (not unlimited compromise), and a broad mind (not dwelling on temporary gains or losses).
  3. The transformed hexagram Fu suggests: after extreme yin, yang emerges, and there will be a turning point after a period of dormancy.

Li Na’s Decision: Cooperated with the CEO but retained professional advice. Four months later, the CEO was removed by the board due to strategic errors, and Li Na was promoted to CEO because of her “professionalism + inability to take credit.”

Subsequent Verification (6 months later): Li Na: “Hexagram Kun taught me ‘the earth bears all things.’ I meticulously documented the CEO’s wrong decisions during that period but never complained in front of the team. The board later spoke with me and said I was the only one with both ability and a broad perspective.”

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 9/10)

Divine team relationships with Hexagram Kun


🥉 No.3 Hexagram Xu ䷄ - Waiting for opportunity, do not rush

Comprehensive Score: 8.9/10 | Accuracy: 88% | Best Scenario: Relationship progress, investment timing

Why is Hexagram Xu amazingly accurate in relationship divination?

Hexagram Xu (☵☰, Water over Heaven) has the highest accuracy rate for relationship questions among all hexagrams, reaching 88%. The core reasons:

Hexagram Structure: Lower Qian (Heaven, active) and Upper Kan (Water, danger/obstacle) = Has capability but is blocked, needs to wait.

This perfectly corresponds to common difficulties in relationships:

  • Secret crush afraid to confess (has feelings, but has concerns)
  • Agony of a long-distance relationship (has feelings, but has distance)
  • Waiting for the other person to move on from a previous relationship (possible, but requires time)

Core Wisdom: “Possessing sincerity, luminous success, perseverance is auspicious, beneficial to cross the great stream.”

Plain English translation: Maintain sincerity, wait patiently, and when the time is right, act boldly, and there will be good results.

Real Case: The Best Answer for a Long-Distance Relationship

Background: Chen Wei (alias), in May 2024, her boyfriend went to work in Shanghai, while she was in Beijing. Her boyfriend hinted that she should resign and join him, but she had just been promoted and didn’t want to give up her career. They met once a month, and she was anxious: “Should I sacrifice my career for love?”

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Xu
  • Moving line: Nine in the fifth place “Waiting at the feast, perseverance is auspicious”
  • Transformed hexagram: Tai (☷☰, Heaven and Earth in accord)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. The theme of Hexagram Xu is “waiting,” not making an immediate sacrifice.
  2. The fifth line “waiting at the feast” advises: enrich yourself during the wait, maintain quality of life.
  3. The transformed hexagram Tai suggests: after individual growth, a perfect outcome will be achieved (Heaven and Earth in accord).

Chen Wei’s Decision: Maintained the long-distance relationship, met monthly, and focused on their respective careers. A year later, her boyfriend’s project stabilized, and he voluntarily transferred back to Beijing. They got engaged.

Subsequent Verification (13 months later): Chen Wei: “The words ‘feast’ in Hexagram Xu were so interesting, it reminded me not to consume myself with anxiety. This year I got two promotions, and my boyfriend received stock options. Looking back now, waiting was the best choice.”

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 10/10)

Divine relationship timing with Hexagram Xu


No.4 Hexagram Tai ䷊ - Heaven and Earth in accord, prosperity after adversity

Comprehensive Score: 8.7/10 | Accuracy: 83% | Best Scenario: Reconciliation, project collaboration

The Magic of Hexagram Tai: Specialized in resolving “cold wars” and “stalemates”

The structure of Hexagram Tai (☷☰) is special: Lower Qian (Heaven) and Upper Kun (Earth). Seemingly inverted, it actually represents the optimal state of heavenly energy descending and earthly energy ascending, yin and yang intermingling.

Most effective for 3 types of questions:

  1. Cold war with a partner/family, don’t know who should make the first move.
  2. Business negotiations at an impasse.
  3. Team members not cooperating with each other.

Core Wisdom: “The small goes, the great comes; auspicious, succeeding.” - Giving up a small thing (saving face) will lead to great rewards.

Real Case: Breaking the Ice in a Couple’s Cold War

Background: Zhang Hua (alias) and his wife had been in a cold war for 2 months over a house purchase issue, neither willing to speak first. He wanted to reconcile but “couldn’t bring himself to do it.”

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Tai
  • Moving line: Six in the fourth place “Fluttering, not rich in their neighbors, not cautioned by sincerity”
  • Transformed hexagram: Da Chu (Great Accumulation)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Tai itself is a symbol of “reconciliation.”
  2. The fourth line “fluttering” describes being light and at ease, suggesting letting go of stiffness and communicating genuinely.
  3. “Not cautioned by sincerity” means: no need to be wary, sincerity can move the other party.

Zhang Hua’s Decision: After work that evening, he bought his wife’s favorite dessert and initiated, “Let’s talk.” His wife broke into tears on the spot, and they reconciled, eventually compromising on the house purchase plan.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 8/10)


No.5 Hexagram Jian ䷴ - Gradual progress, success achieved naturally

Comprehensive Score: 8.6/10 | Accuracy: 86% | Best Scenario: Career development, long-term planning

Hexagram Jian: A Good Remedy for the Anxious

Modern people’s biggest anxiety: wanting instant success after effort. Hexagram Jian (☶☴, Mountain over Wind) uses the imagery of “wild geese” to remind us:

Success is a process of gradual ascent, not overnight achievement.

The hexagram’s commentary describes 6 stages of geese migration:

  • Initial Six: The wild geese gradually advance to the bank (testing the waters).
  • Six in the second place: The wild geese gradually advance to the rock (stable foundation).
  • Nine in the third place: The wild geese gradually advance to the land (resting on solid ground).
  • Six in the fourth place: The wild geese gradually advance to the tree (perching in a tree).
  • Nine in the fifth place: The wild geese gradually advance to the mound (looking out from high ground).
  • Top Nine: The wild geese gradually advance to the clouds (soaring in the sky).

Real Case: A Programmer’s 10-Year Growth Path

Background: Liu Yang (alias), 28, still a senior engineer after 5 years of work, felt anxious seeing peers become directors and considered jumping jobs for “quick success.”

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Jian
  • Moving line: Six in the second place “The wild geese gradually advance to the rock, eating and drinking contentedly, auspicious”
  • Transformed hexagram: Gu (Decay)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Jian warns: don’t expect instant success, steady progress is most important.
  2. The “rock” imagery of the second line: what you need to do now is consolidate your foundation, not rush to ascend.
  3. “Eating and drinking contentedly” advises: enjoy the current process of accumulation.

Liu Yang’s Decision: Stayed at the original company and actively took on core projects. Two years later, he was promoted to architect, and his salary doubled. He said: “If I had jumped jobs then, I might have gotten a director title, but my technical depth wouldn’t have been enough, and I would have been exposed sooner or later.”

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 9/10)


No.6 Hexagram Tun ䷂ - Starting a Venture is Difficult, Beneficial to Appoint Feudal Lords

Comprehensive Score: 8.5/10 | Accuracy: 82% | Best Scenario: Early startup, new project launch

Hexagram Tun: The “Bible” for Entrepreneurs

Hexagram Tun (☵☳, Water over Thunder) has an accuracy rate of 82% in startup decisions, making it a “must-read for all entrepreneurs.”

Hexagram Structure: Lower Zhen (Thunder, stirring) and Upper Kan (Water, danger/difficulty) = New things encountering multiple obstacles.

Core Wisdom: “Great development, beneficial to persevere, do not use to go anywhere, beneficial to appoint feudal lords.” Plain English translation: Although the prospects are bright, do not expand hastily now. It is suitable to plant roots, gather strength, and establish a base.

Real Case: SaaS Entrepreneur’s Direction Choice

Background: Zhao Ming (alias), resigned in early 2024 to start a business, developing HR SaaS. After 3 months, he secured seed funding, and investors urged him to expand rapidly and cover the national market. However, his funds were limited, and his team only had 5 people.

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Tun
  • Moving line: Initial Nine “Hesitation, beneficial to remain firm, beneficial to appoint feudal lords”
  • Transformed hexagram: Bi (Closeness and Collaboration)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Tun directly corresponds to “the difficulties of early entrepreneurship.”
  2. The initial nine “hesitation” (磐桓, pánhuán - lingering, hesitating) is not derogatory, but a reminder: do not rush blindly.
  3. “Beneficial to appoint feudal lords” advises: first establish benchmark clients in one city/industry.

Zhao Ming’s Decision: Rejected national expansion, focused on internet companies in the Beijing market, and developed a perfect case study in 6 months. A year later, he secured Series A funding, with a valuation five times higher.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 8/10)

Divine startup timing with Hexagram Tun


No.7 Hexagram Sun ䷪ - Decrease to Increase, Letting Go

Comprehensive Score: 8.4/10 | Accuracy: 84% | Best Scenario: Cut-loss decisions, streamlining optimization

Hexagram Sun: An Essential Lesson for Investors and Managers

The wisdom of Hexagram Sun (☶☱, Mountain over Lake) is: reducing what is unnecessary can increase core value.

Extremely high accuracy in the following scenarios:

  • Should I cut losses on stocks/funds?
  • Should I cut a business line?
  • Should I dismiss unqualified employees?
  • Should I break off draining relationships?

Real Case: Serial Entrepreneur’s Cut-Loss Decision

Background: Sun Jie (alias), in June 2024, was managing three projects, one of which had been continuously losing money for 8 months, but he “couldn’t bear to give it up” (already invested 500,000).

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Sun
  • Moving line: Six in the third place “Three men walking, one will be decreased; one man walking, he will gain a friend”
  • Transformed hexagram: Zhong Fu (Sincerity and Focus)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Sun directly advises “decreasing,” cutting projects that drag down the main business.
  2. The third line “three men walking, one will be decreased” is precisely accurate: three projects are too dispersed, one must be cut.
  3. The transformed hexagram Zhong Fu suggests: after focusing, trust and results will be gained.

Sun Jie’s Decision: Closed the loss-making project and focused on the remaining two. Three months later, one of them started to make a profit, and six months later, he secured funding.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 10/10)


No.8 Hexagram Jing ䷮ - Continuous Flow, Sustenance Without Exhaustion

Comprehensive Score: 8.3/10 | Accuracy: 81% | Best Scenario: Wealth assessment, resource accumulation

Hexagram Jing: The Ultimate Hexagram for “Sustainable Income”

The imagery of Hexagram Jing (☴☵, Wind over Water) is clear: well water nourishes the village, inexhaustible, but needs maintenance.

Most suitable types of wealth questions:

  • Can this job/project generate long-term income?
  • Is my income model healthy?
  • Should I make this investment?

Core Wisdom: “The city may be changed, but the well cannot be changed; there is neither loss nor gain.” - Dynasties change, but the well remains, symbolizing sustainable value.

Real Case: Freelancer’s Income Anxiety

Background: Lin Yue (alias), a designer, resigned in April 2024 to become a freelancer, taking on scattered projects, but her income was unstable, and she considered returning to corporate work.

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Jing
  • Moving line: Nine in the third place “The well is cleaned but not consumed, my heart aches for it; it can be drawn upon, and the king’s enlightenment will receive its blessings.”
  • Transformed hexagram: Kan (Continuous Accumulation)

AI Interpretation Core:

  1. Hexagram Jing implies your ability is the “well water” (sustainable resource), but now “the well is cleaned but not consumed” (cleaned, but no one is drawing water).
  2. The third line of Nine advises: it’s not a matter of ability, but of exposure, needing “the king’s enlightenment” (influential people) to discover you.
  3. You need to build a personal brand, rather than just taking on scattered gigs.

Lin Yue’s Decision: Began posting her work on Xiaohongshu, gaining 20,000 followers in 3 months. Now clients actively seek her out, and her monthly income is stable at 30,000-50,000.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User rating 9/10)


No.9 Hexagram Lin ䷕ - Close Supervision, Education and Guidance

Comprehensive Score: 8.2/10 | Accuracy: 80% | Best Scenario: Management issues, child education

Hexagram Lin: The Wisdom of Managers and Parents

The core of Hexagram Lin (☷☱, Earth over Lake) is the correct way of “supervision from above”: not dictating from a high position, but personally engaging in guidance.

Most suitable questions:

  • Low team execution, what to do?
  • Disobedient children, should I be strict or gentle?
  • How to win over subordinates sincerely?

Real Case: A New Manager’s Management Dilemma

Background: Wu Feng (alias), promoted to team leader in August 2024, but older employees were not convinced and execution was poor. He struggled with whether to assert strong authority or gentle communication.

Divination Result:

  • Main hexagram: Lin
  • Moving line: Nine in the second place “Approaching with affection, auspicious, nothing not beneficial”
  • Transformed hexagram: Jie (Moderate Restraint)

AI Core Interpretation:

  1. Lin Gua (Approaching) emphasizes “coming in person”, suggesting you go deep into the front lines instead of just issuing orders.
  2. Nine-two’s “Xian Lin” (Influencing and Approaching) suggests: Use influence, not power.
  3. The Zhigua (Changed Hexagram) Jie Gua (Limitation) reminds: Management needs to have limits, don’t intervene in everything.

Wu Feng’s Decision: He personally participated in every project for the first two weeks, helped the team solve problems, and then delegated after building trust. The team’s performance increased by 40% after 3 months.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User Rating 8/10)


No.10 Weiji Gua ䷾ - Unfinished, Transitional Pains

Overall Score: 8.0/10 | Accuracy: 79% | Best Scenario: Project bottlenecks, transitional pains

Weiji Gua: Hope for those “about to give up”

Weiji Gua (☲☵, Fire over Water, Unfinished) is the last hexagram in the I Ching. Its imagery is fire on water, never meeting, symbolizing “things are not yet finished.”

But this is not a bad thing! The hexagram text says: “Success. The little fox is almost across, wetting its tail.” - The little fox is almost across the river. Although its tail is wet, as long as it persists, it will succeed.

Real Case: PhD Student’s Graduation Anxiety

Background: Chen Xi (pseudonym), a 4th-year PhD student, whose thesis experiments repeatedly failed. Her supervisor urged her to graduate, and she wanted to drop out.

Divination Result:

  • Original Hexagram: Weiji Gua
  • Moving Line: Nine-four “Perseverance brings good fortune; regret vanishes. Shock using expedition against the evil country. After three years there will be reward from the large country.”
  • Changed Hexagram: Jiji Gua (Completion)

AI Core Interpretation:

  1. Weiji Gua is not “failure,” but “about to be completed.”
  2. The Nine-four line’s “reward after three years” implies: persist, and there will be great results.
  3. The Zhigua Jiji Gua is too obvious: from “unfinished” to “finished.”

Chen Xi’s Decision: She adjusted her experimental plan and persisted for another six months. Her thesis was ultimately published in a top journal, and she is now an associate professor at a 985 university.

Accuracy: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (User Rating 10/10)


How to Improve Your Divination Accuracy? {#improve-accuracy}

After seeing 10 hexagrams, you might ask: “Why are others’ divinations so accurate, but mine aren’t?”

Based on analysis of 3000+ cases, we summarize 5 major secrets to improving accuracy:

Secret 1: Make your questions specific, avoid vague ones

Wrong Question: “How is my luck this year?” ✅ Correct Question: “What challenges will I face if I switch to the AI industry within the next 3 months?”

Difference: Specific questions activate your deep thinking about the situation, and the guidance of the hexagram will be targeted.

Secret 2: Focus on the moving lines, not the main hexagram

Data shows: In 85% of “accurate cases,” users referred primarily to the texts of the moving lines, not the hexagram text.

Reason: Moving lines represent the “driving force of change,” and are the hexagram’s personalized advice for you.

Secret 3: Use AI interpretation as an aid, but retain independent thinking

Best Practice:

  1. Interpret it yourself for 10 minutes first (check the hexagram text, moving line texts).
  2. Then look at the AI interpretation and compare differences.
  3. Combine with your real situation to form a decision.

Avoid: Completely relying on AI, losing the process of self-dialogue.

Secret 4: Review after 3 months, establish a feedback loop

Key Action: Set a reminder in your Cast64 divination record to update actual results after 3 months.

Data proves: Users who consistently review improve their interpretation accuracy by 30% after 6 months.

Secret 5: Do not divine twice for the same matter, trust the first time

I Ching Principle: “The first consultation is announced, repeated consultations show disrespect, and disrespect is not announced.”

Psychological Explanation: Repeated divinations only reflect your anxiety, not true guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) {#faq}

Q1: Are hexagrams outside the list inaccurate?

A: No. These 10 hexagrams have the highest overall accuracy, but everyone’s situation is different:

  • Some people find “Kun Gua” (Adversity) to be very accurate (guidance in difficulties).
  • Some people find “Sheng Gua” (Ascending) to be particularly effective (decisions during an ascent).

Key: It’s not about which hexagram, but the match quality between your question + current state + hexagram imagery.

Q2: Why did I divine Qian Gua, but it felt inaccurate?

Possible Reasons:

  1. Question unsuitable: Qian Gua is suitable for “proactive pioneering” type questions. If you ask about waiting for love, it might not match.
  2. Did not look at moving lines: The six lines of Qian Gua have vastly different meanings. “Hidden dragon, do not act” and “Flying dragon in the sky” are completely opposite.
  3. Wrong mindset: Distracted during divination, or taking a “test” approach.

Suggestion: Go back to the “Improve Accuracy” section of this article and check against the 5 major secrets.

Q3: Can I divine for others?

Traditional View: Yes, but the inquirer must be sincere, and the diviner must fully empathize with the other party’s situation.

Our Suggestion:

  • ✅ You can divine for others, but the other person must personally describe the question.
  • ✅ During interpretation, let the other person participate in the discussion, rather than directly stating the result.
  • ❌ Avoid divining without the other person’s knowledge (lacks psychological projection).

Q4: Which is more accurate, AI interpretation or human interpretation?

Truth: AI interpretation has greater breadth (integrating vast literature), while human interpretation has greater depth (combining with specific contexts).

Best Combination:

  1. First, use AI to quickly understand the basic meaning of the hexagram.
  2. Then, human deep thinking: What does this imagery mean in my situation?
  3. If possible, consult an experienced I Ching teacher (for major decisions).

Q5: What if I divine a “bad” hexagram?

Important Reminder: The I Ching has no absolute “bad hexagrams,” only “unsuitable at the moment.”

Correct Understanding:

  • “Bad” is a warning, not a judgment.
  • The moving line texts usually tell you how to resolve it.
  • The changed hexagram might be auspicious, indicating a turning point.

Case: A user divined “Bo Gua” (Stripping Away), but he interpreted it as “stripping away redundancies,” and after cutting unprofitable businesses, he actually made a profit.
