I CHING · DECISION CONTEXT

Decision situations

What this page is (self-contained)This is an entrance to I Ching decision situations. Each page takes one oversized question (should I quit, should I partner) and breaks it into a path across three hexagrams, each standing for a different reason you are stuck. Every page gives checkable facts and one step you can take today. No page gives a verdict, predicts anything, or decides for you.

Where these pages come from

Three rules govern what is taken. First, no page answers should or should not; it breaks the question into three different sticking points so the reader finds their own. Second, every page lists checkable facts. Third, every page states what it does not do: no verdict, no prediction, no deciding for you. Hexagram numbers and relations come from the original I Ching text; the arrangement and descriptions are original to this project.
