Hints about How to Consult the Oracle
and Send us Your Record

 

The following are hints about how you should proceed when you ask us for assistance with the answer of oracle to your question.

  • About your question

Your question must be very specific and in terms of future development of events. Examples of good questions are:

- What will be the result of my action be?

- What you (the Oracle) think about my intention to do this or that?

- What will be the efficiency (if any) of the following treatment (in a malady issue)

  • About the question's environment

The description of your current situation must be detailed. Remember: I am not one of your relatives so I know nothing about you and your problems. Also, I need to know in detail what your question is related to? If you ask a professional question please keep in mind that you may not expect me to know everything about your expertise and so forth. You may explain everything in detail.

  • About the answer of the Oracle.

If you use our online device to consult de Oracle [ click here ] you may click the Hexagram 1 button and see what is the number of the hexagram received as response from Oracle. Also you need to record the red lines (if any) and send me their position. For example:

If you received the Hexagram #2 as response, it may look like this:

__  __
__  __
__  __
__  __
__  __
__  __

Please note that 2 lines are colored red (that is, they are changing lines). This is why  you must send me the position number of colored lines too, counted from bottom to top - in our example: lines 2 and 5.

To conclude, when you send me the hexagram answer to your question you note the number of hexagram (2 in our example) and the positions number(s) of the red/changing line(s) - in our example 2 and 5.

Your account should be as follows: Hexagram 2, lines 2 and 5. Or, if there's no changing lines, Hexagram 2.
