Mei Hua Divination
How to Use — 3 Easy Steps
No ancient knowledge needed. Anyone can do it — just follow these three steps.
- 1Settle your mind and think of ONE clear question, e.g. "Should I accept this job offer?"
- 2Fill in the "Date of Question" and "Hour of Question" for when the question came to mind — the current time is fine. Click the date field to open the calendar, then pick the hour.
- 3Press the "Reveal the Reading" button. The hexagrams and interpretation appear below — read the "Conclusion" for the short guidance.
Tip: a specific question (yes/no, or choose A or B) makes the result far easier to understand.
Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数) is a branch of Yi Jing (I Ching) that uses time, numbers, and surrounding phenomena. Enter the time of your question to read the direction of a decision, future trends, lost items, even health.
What is Mei Hua Divination?
Mei Hua Yi Shu (梅花易数), "Plum Blossom Numerology", is a method of I Ching divination created by Shao Yong. Instead of tossing coins or yarrow stalks, Mei Hua turns time, numbers, or nearby events into a hexagram. It is used to predict the outcome of a decision, read future trends, find lost items, and even sense health conditions.
How the time method works
- Date & hour convert to the lunar calendar: the year zodiac number (1-12), lunar month, lunar day, and the double-hour (shichen).
- Upper trigram = (zodiac + month + day) mod 8; lower trigram = (… + hour) mod 8; a remainder of 0 counts as 8.
- Moving line = (zodiac + month + day + hour) mod 6 (remainder 0 = line 6). This line forms the Changed Hexagram.
- The trigram holding the moving line becomes Yong (environment); the other is Ti (self). Their five-element relationship decides whether it is favorable.
