Hexagrams

Hexagrams are six-line symbols used primarily in the I Ching, an ancient Chinese text that serves as a guide for divination and philosophical inquiry. Each hexagram is made up of combinations of solid (yang) and broken (yin) lines, which represent dualities and natural forces. There are 64 unique hexagrams, each associated with specific meanings, interpretations, and life situations. Users consult the I Ching to gain insight into their circumstances by interpreting these hexagrams, often using coins or yarrow sticks to generate them. Overall, hexagrams reflect a holistic view of change and balance in life.
