One cast, read honestly

Ichinen keeps three things on one desk: a three-coin I Ching cast, a four-pillar BaZi chart, and the Man Mo Temple Guandi lots. The cast follows the true three-coin rule—one press, six lines. The chart lays out pillars, ten relations, and decade rhythm from a solar or lunar birthday. The lots follow the Qing edition of the Guandi oracle: enter the number you drew at the temple to read the verse and its story.

Each of the 64 hexagrams comes with a situational reading, a next step, and the original Zhouyi text beside it. Each of the 100 lots comes with a plain reading, a core view, and its source. Where the sign says blocked, we say blocked—never dressed up as encouragement, never used to frighten.

The daily cast applies the same method to read the day itself—the atmosphere now, the trend ahead—showing how a question gets thought through. This is an exercise in culture and reflection: it does not decide for you, and it cannot replace medical, legal, or financial advice.
