The I Ching hexagram chart.
The King Wen square maps every pair of trigrams to its hexagram. Find your lower trigram (the bottom three lines) in the left column and your upper trigram (the top three lines) across the top — the cell where they meet is your hexagram. Each number links to its full reading.

How to read the chart
A hexagram is two trigrams stacked: the lower trigram is lines one through three (read from the bottom up), the upper trigram is lines four through six. Each of the eight trigrams — Heaven, Lake, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Water, Mountain, Earth — is a fixed three-line pattern of solid (yang) and broken (yin) lines. Pairing any two gives one of the 64 hexagrams, numbered here in the traditional King Wen sequence.
The chart is a lookup table, not a reading. To get an actual interpretation of your situation, cast a hexagram with the real three-coin probability, or browse all 64 hexagrams with search and palace filters.
