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
2026-10-22 · UTC
Hexagram 39 of 64
Obstruction
Jiǎn · Water over Mountain
The judgment
Water rests on the mountain and the road ahead climbs. Going on costs more than turning back to fix the footing, and this is a season for the turn.
The image
Water on a mountain top has nowhere lower to go. A blocked road is information, and reading it costs less than forcing it.
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.
