Hi everyone, Lesson 6 | Movement, Transformation, and Hidden Information is now available in the Classroom! In this lesson, we move from identifying what each line represents to understanding how the lines actually exert their effects within a hexagram. We first return to the side-business case from Lesson 5 and trace its complete action chain. You will learn how active lines, static lines, and transformed lines function differently, including the essential rule that a transformed line acts back only upon the active line that produced it. We will then examine Return Generation, Return Overcoming, Advancing, and Retreating through practical cases. We will also introduce Repetitive Echo, Contradictory Echo, Wandering Soul and Returning Soul Hexagrams, Flying and Hidden Lines, absent and multiple Significators, and the basic judgment framework for a static hexagram. For this lesson’s discussion assignment, analyze the “Trading in a Military Camp” case using the Five Elements and the movement permissions introduced in this lesson. For now, set aside the Monthly Branch, Daily Branch, void, Six Clashes, and timing. Decide whether the querent should proceed and post your analysis in the Discord Members discussion area. In the next lesson, we will move into Six Compatibles, Six Clashes, and other special structures. Watch Lesson 6 here: https://www.skool.com/i-ching-divination-group-9696/classroom

Hi everyone, Lesson 5 | From the Question to the Significator is now available in the Classroom! In this lesson, we move from constructing the chart to identifying the roles within it. You will learn how to derive the Six Relationships from the Five Elements, understand what each relationship may represent, and determine the Six Relationships of transformed lines using the Palace Element of the Primary Hexagram. We will then examine how the question determines the Significator and how to identify the Source God, Obstacle God, and Adversary God. You will also learn to distinguish the Host and Corresponding Lines and use basic line positions to understand perspective, distance, hierarchy, and stages of development. Through a real business case and a complete side-business casting, we will see how these roles and positions begin to enter practical analysis. For this lesson’s practice, identify the Significator for five different questions, complete one personal casting and basic chart, and mark the Host, Corresponding, Significator, Source God, Obstacle God, and Adversary God. You can also attempt an initial analysis of the side-business case. A complete conclusion and timing prediction are not required yet. In the next lesson, we will formally enter active and transformed lines, Return Generation and Overcoming, Advancing and Retreating transformations, and the Flying and Hidden Gods.

Hi everyone, Lesson 4 | Casting and Building a Na Jia Chart is now available in the Classroom! In this lesson, we formally enter Na Jia / Six Lines Divination. You will learn how to frame a specific question, record the casting time and time zone, cast three coins six times, and arrange the results from the first line at the bottom to the sixth line at the top. We will then examine how to form the Primary Hexagram, identify active lines, generate the Transformed Hexagram, and build a complete Na Jia chart. This includes the Eight Palaces, Heavenly Stems, Earthly Branches, Five Elements, Six Relationships, Host and Corresponding Lines, Six Gods, Monthly and Daily Commands, and Void. A complete casting and chart comparison demonstration and a Simple Divination Case Study Template are also available in the course Resources. For this lesson’s practice, complete three to five independent castings and compare your records with the charts generated by the I Ching Stream tool. Interpretation is not required yet—the focus is accurate casting, recording, and chart formation. In the next lesson, we will learn how to identify the roles within the chart and select the Significator according to the question.

Hi everyone, Lesson 3 | From Trigram Thinking to Plum Blossom Divination is now available in the Classroom! In this lesson, we begin exploring how image-based divination works through Textual, Image, and Number Modes; Body and Use; the Primary, Mutual, and Transformed Hexagrams; and time-based casting. We will also examine Shao Kangjie’s Plum Blossom Observation, a modern workplace reading, and Guo Pu’s hidden-object case. The complete hidden-object case is available under the lesson Resources. There is a lot of material in this lesson, so you do not need to memorize everything at once. Focus first on understanding how images, numbers, time, relationships, and real-life situations connect. Feel free to share your questions and observations with the group after watching. In the next lesson, we will formally enter Na Jia / Six Lines Divination.

At the request of several learners, I have opened a Members discussion group in our Discord community and added the Foundations Course students. This is a space to discuss questions from the course, books, case studies, and your own study or practice. You are welcome to share observations, compare interpretations, and learn from other members. In Lessons 9 and 10, we are also planning case discussion exercises where everyone can analyze the same case independently and compare different approaches. If you purchased the Foundations Course but have not yet been added to the Members group, please join through the link below and send me your Discord username. Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/MJyM9FFMv I look forward to seeing everyone there. 🧡
