Yi Jing - The Book of Changes

Lines are based on the following:

• Line 1 (bottom): the number of words
• Line 2: the number of letters
• Line 3: the number of consonants
• Line 4: the number of vowels (a e i o u)
• Line 5: the number of y's and w's
• Line 6 (top): sum of index of all letters (A=1, B=2...)

Take those numbers, and re-wrap every 8 .. so, 0, 1, 2, 3 ... 7, 0, 1, 2.

• odds are yang, evens are yin
• 0 is old yin
• 7 is old yang

the idea here is that the math is easy enough to do in your head, but hard enough to keep track of. So, your subconcious mind can do it as you type, and in this way you can get your own mind to absentmindedly give you a reading.

so, sit down, pour your heart out, and then finsish with a clear i-ching question. then, read it over, edit as needed until it "sits right". once you like what you have here, click generate to get your hexagram and moving lines.
