The Astrology of I Ching

The Astrology of I Ching by Wen Kuan Chu bridges two of the world’s greatest systems of symbolic knowledge: astrology and the I Ching. This groundbreaking work explores how the sexagenary cycles of the I Ching—based on the interaction of yin, yang, and the five elements—can be correlated with astrological principles to reveal profound insights into destiny, character, and cosmic timing.

The book guides readers through the ancient computations underlying the I Ching’s cycles, showing how hexagrams are generated from birth data and then interpreted in terms of natal patterns, yearly influences, and daily energies. By weaving together Chinese cosmology and Western astrological methods, Chu creates a holistic divinatory system that provides accurate guidance for self-discovery, relationships, and life decisions.

Beyond abstract theory, the text offers detailed predictions for all 64 hexagrams, with explanations of their meaning in natal charts and cycles of time. Practical sections explore compatibility analysis, auspicious and inauspicious influences, and the use of I Ching astrology for long-term planning.

Accessible yet profound, The Astrology of I Ching is an invaluable resource for students of astrology, divination, and Chinese philosophy, as well as seekers wishing to integrate Eastern and Western esoteric traditions. It stands as both a reference manual and a spiritual guide to understanding the cosmic rhythms that shape human experience.
