wen-wang-gua

What problem does it solve?

The Wen Wang Gua (WWG) skill provides a recursive, menu-driven toolkit for casting and reading a hexagram: a full traditional workflow that includes Six Relatives, Na Jia line-to-branch mapping, Five Elements producing and controlling dynamics, palace position, Self and Usage lines, moving lines and the transformed hexagram, and classical line-text hermeneutics. It offers a method-skill: a set of interpretive moves to improvise a living reading from, not a fixed form to fill out. Use when asked to consult the Yijing, cast a hexagram, run WWG on a chat, or read a question through Chinese hexagram divination. Triggers on: 'consult the Yijing', 'cast a hexagram', 'I Ching reading', 'Wen Wang Gua', '六亲', '納甲', 'run the WWG framework on our chat', 'what does the oracle say'.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Casting a hexagram with primary hexagram, moving lines, and palace context to orient the reading.
• The interpretive moves: Trigram dialectic, Na Jia mapping, Six Relatives, Five Elements dynamics, Moving lines and transformation, Line-text hermeneutics, and Dramatization to render the reading as a narrative.
• Timing, synthesis, and related hexagrams: Mutual and nuclear hexagrams for additional angles; identify Self (世爻) and Usage (用神) lines; synthesize actionable guidance.
• Recursion (optional): cast a refined secondary question and integrate it into the reading if ambiguity remains.

Quick Start

Ask a clear question about a situation and apply the WWG framework to generate a living I Ching reading.
