I Ching with Clarity podcast – I Ching with Clarity
The I Ching with Clarity podcast dives into real I Ching readings, relishing the way the oracle dissolves barriers between spiritual connection and ordinary life. Once a month, I’ll explore a new reading, aiming both to make interpretation accessible to beginners and to share some rich imagination food for more experienced diviners.

Ludimila had graduated in psychology and opened her doors as a therapist a few years previously, but wondered whether she was being prompted to hold onto her secure, old work as a teacher and translator. So she asked,
'What should I focus on professionally?'
and cast Hexagram 3, Sprouting, with no changing lines. It's a beautifully simple answer, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring it together.
Those explorations touched o...

An annual reading, this time: the first thing Maria does on her birthday is to sit down and ask to be shown a reading for the coming year. Here's hers for 2023-24: Hexagram 36, Brightness Hiding, with no changing lines.
Since this was an unchanging reading, we had the time and space to explore some of the hexagram's 'relations': its inverse and contrast, 35, Advancing -
and its complement or opposite - the hexagram w...

This episode of the podcast could also be entitled 'light dawns in the end,' as it took a while for me to join all the dots between the querent's situation and the reading. It's a great example of how Yi talks to the whole person, though, as well as answering the question.
