Toss three coins and find the meaning of your current situation and where you may be heading, too.

The I-Ching, the Canon of Change, is not only a powerful Oracle that can be used to illuminate deeper meanings of your present and future changing circumstances, but it has been a spiritual wellspring for over 6,000 years, pointing to its inherent staying power.

Simple to learn, this guide carefully explains the various methods and approaches, but also reveals the interesting applications and philosophy of I-Ching from its origins up to the present time. This translation claims to "restore the authentic spirit of the ancient text." All 64 of the hexagrams are presented with their numerical value, three elements, title (name), Chinese symbol, caption, meaning of each line in its position, and Commentary explaining the Judgement and Changing Line meanings. Changing hexagrams are not shown, but reader learns how to derive them.

The Appendix contains: a List of Trigrams, Matrix of Hexagram Numbers, List of Hexagrams (numerically), and an Index of Hexagrams (alphabetical order by name).
