The I Ching, for Western decisions
A clearer way to think through the decisions you're weighing.
Yarrow brings the I Ching (易經) — a 3,000-year-old framework for structured reflection — to the choice in front of you. Ask a real question; get a grounded reading that shows it from angles you hadn't considered.

Each reading is cast from the moment you ask.
A sample reading
The question
“I've been offered a role in another city. Do I take it, or stay where I've built things?”
風山漸
Gradual Progress
The reading favors the move — but as a sequence, not a leap. Progress here comes from advancing one settled step at a time; the risk isn't the destination, it's rushing the middle.
The changing line points to the cost of impatience: arrive before the ground is ready and the gains don't hold. The question it hands back to you isn't whether to go, but whether you can go gradually enough to make it stick.
An example. Every reading is cast fresh for your own question.
How it works
Ask a real question
Describe the decision you're facing in plain words — a job offer, a relationship, a move. The more honest the question, the more useful the reading.
Cast the reading
Yarrow casts a hexagram from the moment you ask and interprets it against the classical texts — the structure, the changing lines, what's moving and what's fixed.
Reflect and decide
You get a grounded reading that reframes the choice. Your readings are saved, building a picture that makes future readings more personal.
For the decisions that don't fit a spreadsheet.
- A job offer in another city
- Whether to leave a relationship
- A career change you can't stop thinking about
- A hard conversation you keep postponing
- Starting — or walking away from — something of your own
- A move that changes everything else
Not predicting the future — clarifying the present.
A reading won't tell you what will happen. It gives you a structured lens — the tension between what you control and what you don't, the forces in play, the likely cost of each path — so the decision becomes yours to make with more to go on.
Reasonable questions
- No. A reading doesn't predict what will happen. It gives you a structured frame — drawn from a 3,000-year-old text on change — to think through a decision more clearly. The conclusion is always yours.
- The hexagram is cast by a deterministic method from the moment you ask — no AI involved in the cast itself. An AI then interprets that hexagram against the classical texts and your question, in plain language.
- Your readings and a short profile are stored so future readings can build on them. You can export or delete everything at any time. See the Privacy Policy for details.
- No. Many people use it purely as a thinking tool — a structured prompt that surfaces angles, tensions, and costs they hadn't named yet. Take from it what's useful.
