I Ching Hexagram Calculator

Your birth and name hexagrams on the King Wen sequence of 64

The 64 hexagrams of the I Ching are numbered in the King Wen sequence. This page maps your birth date and your name onto that sequence by digit total, taken modulo 64. It is a NUMEROLOGICAL MAPPING, not a cast reading: no coins or yarrow stalks are thrown, so there are no changing lines and no relating hexagram. If you came expecting a consultation, this is a different thing — a fixed correspondence rather than an answer to a question.

Calculated from the name and birth date in your profile above — check your full name via "Edit" for an accurate result.

I Ching Hexagram Calculator — FAQ

Why are there no changing lines?

Changing lines come from the act of casting — the coins or yarrow stalks decide them. Nothing is cast here, so there are none, and no second hexagram either.

Can my birth and name hexagrams be the same?

Yes, and it is not rare — there are only 64 possibilities on each side, so a match happens for about one person in sixty-four.

Does this use a fixed or moving definition of a day (e.g. across time zones)?

The calculation only uses the calendar date in your profile (DD/MM/YYYY) — it doesn't depend on time of day or time zone, unlike birth-chart calculators which need an exact time.
