Chinese tarot cards

The gesture is tarot's — you draw a card, you interpret it — but the deck is different. Originally the Yi Jing has no painted cards like a Marseille or Rider–Waite deck: it has 64 figures made of six lines, solid or broken. Each figure carries a name and an image — “Fire”, “Waiting”, “Peace”.

In Daoa, these 64 figures appear as cards: you draw one, turn it over, read it. The drawn card is the source of the reading — the AI helps interpret it, but never chooses the result of the draw.

First phrase the question truly on your mind, then draw a card. A card isn't read like a fixed definition: you tie its image to your situation. Two people who draw the same figure don't make the same reading — meaning arises from the meeting of the card and the question.

You leave with a reading tied to your question, and often a concrete next step. No prediction: a way of looking, to decide more clearly.

Each card — each hexagram — has its page: its image, its two trigrams, what it illuminates and a question to keep. After a reading, look up the figure you drew to go deeper, or browse all 64 to discover the range of situations.
