When something is weighing on your mind and you want a sense of direction, this app is made for that moment. Ask about any of twenty everyday matters: fortune, marriage, love, exams, business, health, job search, career, decisions, pregnancy, family, lawsuits, new ventures, finding someone, lost items, career change, travel, cash flow, trading and children. ■ CAST THE TRADITIONAL WAY, LINE BY LINE Press and hold the Taiji six times and the hexagram builds from the bottom up, one line at a time, by your own hand. Each reading explains the meaning, the oracle verse and a reading for the exact matter you asked about, in plain modern English. No jargon needed. ■ TODAY'S ORACLE A personal hexagram every day, with what is favorable and what to avoid. Festivals bring their own readings: Lunar New Year, the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn, the Winter Solstice and more. ■ A POOR READING COMES WITH PROTECTION When the hexagram turns against you, the app gives you a themed omamori charm for the matter you asked about: Victory for exams and job searches, Good Match for marriage, Health for illness. Thirteen charms in four crafted styles. Collect all thirteen to unlock the Wish Fulfilled omamori. ■ THE 64-HEXAGRAM CODEX Every hexagram you cast lights up in the codex. Fill all sixty-four and keep a record of your own path through the Book of Changes. ■ READING HISTORY Every reading is kept, grouped by date, so you can look back at what the hexagram said at the time. ■ COLLECTIBLE SHARE CARDS Turn a hexagram or an omamori into a keepsake card and share it to Instagram or Facebook, or save it to Photos. ■ INK & GOLD, OR RICE PAPER A dark ink-and-gold theme for night readings and a light rice-paper theme for daytime. Switch any time under More. ■ GOOD TO KNOW • Hexagrams are cast with the traditional six-line method; Pinyin names come with the Wilhelm/Baynes English titles. • Readings follow traditional Chinese interpretations and are offered for entertainment, cultural learning and self-reflection, not as professional advice. • No account needed. Your readings and omamori stay on your device.
