Free I Ching Reading Online – Cast a Hexagram
The I Ching (Book of Changes) is an ancient Chinese classic built on 64 hexagrams, each made of six broken or unbroken lines that describe a situation and a way to meet it. It also underlies systems such as BaZi and Plum Blossom numerology.
In Fortune Teller you can cast an I Ching reading online by tossing virtual coins six times. The lines build a primary hexagram, and if any lines are changing you also see the relating hexagram and a note for each changing line.

How it works: step by step
- Focus on one concrete matter and phrase a clear question.
- Cast six times to build the hexagram from bottom to top.
- Read the hexagram name, judgment and image.
- If lines are changing, read their notes and the relating hexagram to see where things may move.
How to read the result
The judgment does not hand down a verdict. It suggests an attitude: when to act and when to wait. Read the overall spirit first and compare it with your situation.
You can look up each hexagram in the guide to hexagram meanings, including its two trigrams and six changing lines.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is an I Ching reading?
The I Ching is a source of reflection, not a prediction machine. It can sharpen your view, but the decision stays with you.
What is a changing line?
A changing line is about to turn from yin to yang or the reverse. It marks where change is happening and leads to the relating hexagram.
What is the relating hexagram for?
It shows where the situation may be heading. Read the primary hexagram as now and the relating hexagram as the direction.
How often can I cast a hexagram?
Cast when you have a real question. Asking the same question repeatedly dilutes the answer.
How is the I Ching different from Plum Blossom numerology?
Both use 64 hexagrams, but Plum Blossom builds the hexagram from numbers or time and also reads body, function, mutual and changed hexagrams.
