I Ching Psychics / A study of change

Six lines.
Many ways
to reflect.

A question to work with

Make room
for your choices.

Try a question about your response to a situation: “What should I consider before changing direction?” Write it down before you consult a text or reader.

  1. Describe what is happening. Separate observable facts from assumptions about other people.
  2. Record the method and passage. Note the edition, the figure and any changing lines used in the interpretation.
  3. Explore an alternative. Ask what else the passage could mean and what it leaves unanswered.
  4. Choose a practical next step. Check real-world information before acting on an important decision.

Reflection into everyday life

Intuition is one input.

A symbolic reading can prompt a useful question. It cannot establish an unknown fact or guarantee a financial, health or relationship outcome.

Considering a paid reading?

Ask which method and translation the reader uses, what the session includes, and its full price. Keep a record of the original interpretation and your own response.
