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

Hexagram 7 of 64

The Army

Shī · Earth over Water

The judgment

A crowd moving as one body needs an elder at the front. Remove that figure and discipline turns into appetite.

The image

Water sits inside the earth: hidden, present, not yet a river. Nothing buried stops seeping.

One actionName the one in charge

For reflection, not prediction.

January 2027

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.
