Frequently asked questions

What does the I Ching say about love?

The I Ching speaks about love as it speaks about everything: in images of movement between two forces. Hexagram 31, Resonance, is about attraction that comes from both sides; hexagram 8, Union, about coming together that holds. Neither describes your beloved. They describe what can move between people.

How do I read a relationship question?

You read it as a question about attunement, not about the other person. The image describes what moves between two forces: attraction, distance, rhythm. What the other one does is not in there. What your side of the connection asks for usually is.

What does attraction mean?

Attraction has its own image in the I Ching. Hexagram 31, Resonance, shows a lake resting on a mountain: two things responding to each other before there are words. The oracle does not say whether that holds. It shows that something is genuinely moving.
