That day’s hexagram

Hexagram 38 of 64

Opposition

Kuí · Fire over Lake

The judgment

Fire rises and the lake sinks, and the two will not share a direction. Difference this wide still allows small agreements, and a large one turns into a fight.

The image

Fire above, water below: one rises, one sinks, and neither waits. Two things can differ and still be in the same room.

One actionAgree on the small

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.
