1. Ask one focused question
Choose a single situation you are thinking through. A specific question makes it easier to reflect on what is within your control and what information is still missing.
A traditional method, explained with care
A thoughtful I Ching six-line reading, grounded in a clear chart
Agua turns a six-throw coin cast into a structured six-line chart. The charting rules run first; optional AI then helps put the result into everyday language. Use it as a prompt for reflection—not as certainty or a substitute for professional advice.
Open the reading toolNavigation, controls, and interpretations are in English. Hexagram names and the classic texts appear in Chinese beside their English translations. The optional AI reader can answer follow-up questions in English.
2. Cast six lines with three coins
Each throw records one line, beginning at the bottom and moving upward. The six results form the primary hexagram; changing lines may form a relating hexagram.
3. Read the rule-based chart
The app calculates the chart and its traditional relationships before AI is involved. The chart remains the source of the reading; AI does not cast the coins or alter those calculations.
4. Reflect, then make your own decision
Use the interpretation to identify a practical next step, check assumptions, or prepare a conversation. Outcomes depend on real-world choices and circumstances.
What is the six-line method?
Six-line divination is a form of Chinese divination associated with the stem-branch assignment system of interpreting the I Ching. A traditional cast uses three coins thrown six times. Each result is written as a yin or yang line, from the bottom upward. The resulting pattern is read through relationships among the lines, the question, and the time of the cast.
Agua presents the method as a cultural practice and a structured way to think through a question. It does not claim that a chart can guarantee the future. If a decision affects health, safety, legal rights, or finances, rely on qualified professionals and verifiable information.
