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

2026-11-12 · UTC

Hexagram 60 of 64

Limitation

Jié · Water over Lake

The judgment

Water sits above the lake and the bank decides how much goes through. A bound set too tight breaks by its own pressure, and one with no number measures nothing.

The image

The lake holds the water above it and the bank gives the shape. A measure that can be counted is a measure that can be kept.

One actionSet a number

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.
