- The hexagram pages have been deepened: each page now opens with a short explanation and answers a few frequently asked questions about that hexagram.
- Three new guides: how to ask a good question, what to do after a reading, and why the I Ching is not fortune-telling.
- After a reading, Tayo offers you a fitting first question, so the conversation starts more easily.
- An example life path now shows how a single reading can grow over time.
