Cast a hexagram
from anything.
Three coins. Yarrow stalks. A photo from today. A song you love. A line you can't stop thinking about. We turn any of them into one of the I Ching's 64 ancient symbols — through transparent math you can verify line by line.
GUA
Every method
From three-coin and yarrow stalk to plum-blossom time and number, all four classical methods are here — plus four experimental "from anything" pipelines (text, verse, music, image).
Math you can read
Every cast shows every intermediate value — hashes, moduli, line positions — so anyone can reproduce the same hexagram from the same input. No mysticism, no hidden "spiritual" weighting.
No fortune theater
No gilded borders, no "luck score 99". Just paper, ink, serifs, and a careful drop of cinnabar — so six lines might once again be worth contemplating.
Eight Methods
METHODS · 04 + 04Three Coins
Toss three coins six times. Heads and tails decide each line — the simplest method, and the best-known.
Yarrow Stalk
Fifty yarrow stalks; divide, hang one, count by fours, gather the remainder. Eighteen rounds yields one hexagram.
Plum · Time
Year, month, day, hour as seed. Shao Kang-jie's plum-observing tale, made modern — this very moment is your start.
Plum · Number
Any two numbers; one for upper, one for lower; their sum picks the moving line. Nothing in hand needed.
From Text
Enter a sentence — a question, a line of verse, a diary fragment. We hash and map it byte-by-byte to six lines. Same text, same hexagram. Always.
From Verse
Paste or pick a poem. Beyond the characters themselves, codepoints feed into the mapping for the moving line.
From Music
Upload audio. The bytes are split into six bands; threshold against the median to set six lines, peak deviation picks the moving one.
From Image
Drag in an image. Greyscale, pool into six horizontal bands, compare each to the median — light becomes yang, dark becomes yin.
This isn't fortune-telling,
and we won't tell you if you'll be rich.
We believe the I Ching is most beautiful as a piece of combinatorial mathematics — 2⁶ = 64 states, a logic of transformation between them, and a "drawing of numbers" that runs unbroken from yarrow stalks to coins to SHA-256.
So Anygua does not predict the market, read your face, settle love lives, lift curses, or pick auspicious days. What you get is a figure produced by your input and a transparent piece of mathematics. The name comes from three thousand years ago. The reading is yours.
Now,
cast one for this moment.
No incense, no quiet room — just pick a method.
