I Ching Hexagram Table: Upper row shows upper trigrams. Left column shows nether trigrams. (This is King Wen's Hexagram Arrangement). - Click on numbers to see guiding hexagram images and comments. Along with the symbolic images there are some explanations or oracle "statements" abstracted and paraphrased from Richard Wilhelm's (W) translation, Christopher Market's (M) I Ching rendition, and from the translation of James Legge (L) - and very rarely from R. L Wing's text (R).
    NOTE: Care to study the context (setting) and the two trigrams of a hexagram in order to delve into what it could mean in the particular sets of circumstances implied by it. Also: Hexagram titles are from Wilhelm, with added, traditional titles after a full stop, and Markert titles after a slash (/).

King Kong Survey

The hexagrams can be arranged for a "happy fare together" and for making your libido (zest-life) outlets matter on the whole, This unique "natural-harmony arrangement" brings the I Ching in structural alignment with the houses and signs and dwadashamsas of the main structural astrology of East and West. You find the zodiac parts by reading the King King table downward. Feel free to try it out. Note that Aries 0 - 5.38 degrees is aligned to hexagram 50 ("Baboon 5"), and that the zodiac starts there. (Hover to view the sequences.) Why not have a look at the hexagram of your birthday degree while you're at it? [More]
