Frequently Asked Questions

What is an I Ching reading?+

An I Ching reading uses the ancient Chinese Book of Changes to offer guidance on life questions. A hexagram (six-line figure) is cast using the three-coin method, then interpreted in the context of your specific question. Master Ebbi adds AI-powered analysis to make the wisdom accessible and personal.

How does Master Ebbi cast hexagrams?+

We use the traditional three-coin method, digitally replicated with crypto.getRandomValues() — a cryptographic random number generator. Three virtual coins are tossed six times, producing the same probability distribution as physical coins. The result determines one of 64 hexagrams.

Is this free to use?+

Yes. Master Ebbi offers free I Ching readings with no account required. Ask as many questions as you like — your readings are stored locally in your browser for privacy.

What kind of questions work best?+

Open-ended questions that invite reflection work best. Instead of 'Will I get the promotion?' try 'What do I need to understand about my career path?' The I Ching responds to the quality of your question with the depth of its answer.

What are changing lines?+

Changing lines indicate active transformation in your situation. When present, your hexagram transforms into a second hexagram — showing where things are heading. Old yin (6) becomes yang, old yang (9) becomes yin. Readings with changing lines reveal movement; those without indicate stability.

Is my data private?+

Yes. Your questions and readings are stored only in your browser's local storage — we don't save them on any server. Clear your browser data and they're gone. The coin casting also happens entirely client-side.
