Daily hexagram
The sixty-four hexagrams, one day at a time
The hexagrams turn in a fixed order. Today’s date lands on one of them and tomorrow lands on the next. Nothing is drawn, and nothing is asked of you first.
That day’s hexagram
2026-10-16 · UTC
Hexagram 33 of 64
Retreat
Dùn · Heaven over Mountain
The judgment
The mountain stands under heaven and the small lines are rising from below. Withdrawal is the strong move here, and the cost of waiting is that leaving gets harder as the ground narrows.
The image
Heaven pulls away from the mountain and the distance grows without noise. Leaving in good order keeps the force intact.
For reflection, not prediction.

How the hexagram is chosen
The sixty-four hexagrams are counted in King Wen order from 1 January 2026. Each calendar day moves the count forward by one, and the count starts again after 64, so the same date gives every reader the same hexagram.
The day turns at midnight UTC. Nothing on this page is calculated from your birth data, and the words are a prompt for reflection rather than a forecast of events.
Cast your own six lines
Today’s hexagram is fixed by the calendar. To read one that comes from six throws instead, cast it: the moving lines decide which passage you read, and the classical text is printed beside our reading of it.
Where the hexagram meets your chart
A hexagram speaks to the season. A Four Pillars chart speaks to you: the Day Master, the elements it needs, and the ten-year cycles running behind them.
