I CHING READING

Past — Present — Direction

A path in three images. The first hexagram shows where the situation grew from, the second the season you are in now, the third where it leads if things keep their present course.

What each hexagram shows

1

Past

An earlier influence, pattern or event from which the present grew.

2

Present

The season you are in now and its main challenge.

3

Direction

Where it leads if things keep their course. A direction, not a sentence.

When to choose this reading

A good choice when

  • you want to understand how a situation has been developing,
  • you feel you are in the middle of a longer process,
  • you want more context than one hexagram gives,
  • you ask about direction rather than about a choice.

Better pick another one when

  • you are choosing between two options → Two Paths
  • you want a single, classic answer to one question → One Question
