That day’s hexagram

2026-10-30 · UTC

Hexagram 47 of 64

Oppression

Kùn · Lake over Water

The judgment

The lake has run dry and the water sits below it, out of reach. Speech carries no weight in this place, so the move is to keep it short and the footing honest.

The image

The lake is empty and the water keeps running underneath. What is out of reach is still in the system.

One actionTalk less, stand firm

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.
