Your Guide to Exploring All I Ching Hexagrams and Transformations

This tool lets you explore all 64 hexagrams and every possible combination of changing lines that transforms one hexagram into another. Select a hexagram below to see its full set of changing-line configurations and the resulting hexagrams — or cast a live reading to receive one for your own question.

What a Hexagram Transformation Is

In a reading, some of the six lines may be changing — a line that is moving into its opposite. Each changing line turns yin into yang or yang into yin, and the result is a second hexagram. The first hexagram describes the present situation; the second shows where it is tending to move. Learning to read that shift is central to working with the I Ching, and it is what this lookup is built to make visible.

How to Use the Lookup

Choose any hexagram above to see all 63 possible changing-line combinations, plus the unchanging reading, each mapped to the hexagram it becomes. The notation reads from the bottom line upward: 1.2.4 means Hexagram 1 with lines 2 and 4 changing. It is a study aid for exploring the structure of the system, and a quick way to trace a specific transformation from a reading you have already cast.

Where Changing Lines Come From

Changing lines arise from the casting method itself. The traditional yarrow stalk method produces four possible values for each line — stable yin, stable yang, changing yin, and changing yang — so whether a line moves is decided as the hexagram is built. That page covers the full procedure and the probabilities behind it.
