Column intro

I Ching Stream is the first institution to systematically translate the core classical texts of Chinese I Ching divination into English while preserving the authentic technical framework of Six Lines Divination, or Wen Wang Gua, the comprehensive applied form of this tradition, integrating interpretation of the hexagram and line statements within the Great Expansion tradition, image-based interpretation, and the Na Jia method.
I Ching Divination Advanced is a practical English-language series on Six Lines Divination (Liu Yao) and Wen Wang Gua for readers who want to develop professional-level analysis. Each post takes one advanced concept and turns it into a method you can apply in real readings, with precise terminology, short explanations, focused examples, and case studies. The emphasis is on repeatable judgment grounded in classical frameworks, so your interpretations become consistent, verifiable, and technically sound.

Year I E, Month VI F, Day VII E (Void: J and K)

A man asked about reconciling with his ex-girlfriend. The hexagram obtained was Gou to Huan.

Judgment: The primary hexagram is Gou, which is highly inauspicious for a man asking about a relationship. There are two analytical angles for determining the significator line in this case:

For a man, the wife and wealth line, C wood, is taken as the significator line. The significator wife and wealth line is in the states of rest and constraint, coincides with the Black Tortoise, is hidden beneath, and is compatible with the flying line, M water. This indicates that there should be someone else around the ex-girlfriend.
If analyzed from the perspective of the host and corresponding lines, the host line represents the man himself, and the corresponding line represents the woman. If the woman, represented by the corresponding line, is taken as the significator line, then the officials and ghosts line, G fire, is active and transforms into the parents line, H earth, in compatibility. Compared with the host line, B earth, H earth represents another man. The top line, L earth, is clashed by the daily branch and shows covert activation, which also points to another man. This corresponds to the analysis of taking the wife and wealth line as the significator line. The hidden wife and wealth line being compatible with the descendants line, M water, also indicates that she has other choices. All of this shows that this woman likely does not lack potential partners around her.

The siblings line, K metal, between the host and corresponding lines is active and forms an obstruction. The activation of K metal can also represent a competitor. This means that even if they reconcile, the woman may still later be taken by someone else. The second line, the Black Tortoise descendants line, M water, is monthly broken and overcome by the daily branch, fallen and without root. The source god of the host line, G fire, which is also the corresponding line, is in harm with the host line. This indicates that even if the two are together, they would not really be happy. There is also a feeling of knowing that it should not be done, yet still doing it.

Feedback: She is still in school. Whenever she goes home during school breaks, she stops responding to the querent. The querent does not know her situation very well, but she is always somewhat mysterious. However, she really does get along quite well with the boys in her class.

This does indeed match the analysis. As for how to choose, that is the querent’s own decision. But if the hexagram had already shown so clearly that the relationship was obstructed and unlikely to bring happiness, was reconciliation ever really possible?
