Cast from the current lunar date and hour or two numbers, then review the main, mutual, and changed hexagrams, moving line, and ti–yong relationship.
Plum Blossom I Ching guide
Cast a Plum Blossom I Ching reading from the present lunar date and hour or from two numbers you choose. The page calculates the main, mutual, and changed hexagrams plus the ti–yong five-element relationship, then keeps those computed facts visible for interpretation.
Review OpenFate’s calculation and validation methodFor time casting, OpenFate follows the Xiantian trigram numbers and modulo-eight and modulo-six rules documented in Meihua Yishu, Volume 1. Its two-number input is a disclosed OpenFate product convention. Both methods derive the upper and lower trigrams and a moving line; the main hexagram shows the present structure, the mutual hexagram the internal process, and the changed hexagram the symbolic direction created by the moving line.
The ti–yong relationship separates the subject from the active situation and compares their five-element dynamics. OpenFate shows this reasoning rather than hiding it behind a single lucky or unlucky label. The result is best used as a structured way to examine timing, interaction, and possible movement.
Time casting derives the original, mutual, and changed hexagrams from the documented calendar and hour rules. Number casting is an explicit OpenFate convention, and the Ti/Yong verdict keeps every weighted factor visible.
Reference basis
The classical text anchors the casting arithmetic and Ti/Yong relations. The two-number interface and scoring weights are published OpenFate conventions, not historical probabilities or empirical forecasts.
The deterministic cast, visible hexagrams, and ti–yong analysis are free. After sign-in, your first successful OpenFate AI oracle reading is free across all six oracles. Later successful readings cost 10 credits; failures use neither the free reading nor credits.
Time casting uses the current lunar date and traditional hour. Number casting uses two numbers you deliberately enter. Both methods produce the same core outputs, but they begin from different anchors.
The main hexagram is the starting structure. The mutual hexagram is formed from its inner lines and shows the process within. The changed hexagram applies the moving line and describes the emerging direction.
No. Both use the I Ching hexagram system, but Meihua derives the trigrams and moving line from time or numbers. The Liu Yao coin oracle casts six individual lines and adds a detailed najia chart.
