How to consult the I Ching using Yarrow Stalks

Yijing and Bazi Chinese astrology readings: https://www.tigereyeastrology.com

Some of my favorite Yijing Translations:


A great workbook for beginners -
The I Ching Workbook by R.L. Wing


First translation in the west and most studied by academics (with a forward by Carl Jung on the Yijing’s influence on his explorations of the unconscious)
- The I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm


My favorite translation with a Daoist philosophical approach - The Living I Ching by Deng Ming-Dao


A mythological and more esoteric approach, based on archeological findings - Total I Ching by Stephen Karcher

If you are not able to harvest your own yarrow (which can be found on most continents in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 9 ), you can find a sustainably sourced kit from Jane English, who also co-wrote a beautiful edition of the Daodejing and Zhuangzi. https://www.eheart.com/yarrow/

There are also I Ching yarrow kits sold on Etsy, you can find a supplier that fits your needs and price.

Happy divining!

Hexagram 7 師 shī represents the Army, the Collective and the Master. The trigrams of Water below the Earth above symbolizes groundwater. Groundwater is the pervasive force providing support for all things to grow from below the surface.
This hexagram represents the power of the Spiritual Warrior. To go from a soldier to a master, one engages on the warrior’s path - going from an outer definition of authority (above ground) to an inner source of authority (power hidden below the surface like groundwater).
