Qi covered the basic philosophies behind the IChing beautifully and in an easy to digest and understand manner. She also linked into Jungian concepts which makes the learning very rich and meaningful. (Robert)

I've told several friends about it. It is a very good introductory course for anyone who is curious about the iChing, and who is serious about using it as a helpful tool in self-individuation. Someone using it professionally would need to take an extended course, which the Jung Platform offers. (Amanda)

Unbelievable - this is what I have waited 30 years for in my self study of the I Ching. There was beautiful clarity and simplicity in explaining how to prepare for this deep exploration. I did not want the course to end. (Meryl)

i ching - frequent asked questions

Which translation or text version of the Book of Changes is utilized in this curriculum?

To study the I Ching through a depth psychological lens, one must look to the classic text that bridged Eastern and Western thought. This course grounds its teachings in the renowned Richard Wilhelm and Cary F. Baynes translation: the very version for which Carl Jung penned his famous forward. Qi Zhang honors this traditional framework while effortlessly translating its dense, ancient Chinese imagery into highly accessible, practical language for modern life. You will learn to navigate the traditional layout of the text, understanding how to read the changing lines and hexagram structures. 

What are the specific practical methods taught in this course to cast an I Ching reading?

This program focuses on the absolute fundamentals of conducting an I Ching consultation cleanly and effectively. In Class 3, Qi Zhang teaches you how to formulate clear, objective questions, how often to consult the oracle, and the importance of your mental state during a reading. You will watch a live reading demonstration to see how hexagram answers are generated, how changing lines work, and how they lead to a second hexagram.

How does the I Ching function as a tool for psychological reflection rather than mere fortune-telling?

In Western cultural contexts, divination systems are often misunderstood as superficial attempts to predict a fixed future. However, Carl Jung recognized the I Ching as a profound psychological mirror. The oracle functions on the law of synchronicity, the principle that an inner psychological state and an outer, seemingly accidental physical event like the casting of coins or yarrow stalks are bound by a meaningful connection. When you consult the hexagrams, you are not receiving a deterministic prophecy; you are revealing a snapshot of the energetic forces at play in your life at that exact moment. This course teaches you how to read the symbols as a map of your current unconscious terrain, giving you clarity to make conscious choices.

Is it safe to consult the I Ching, or can oracle systems invite negative psychological energy?

There is a common misconception that engaging with ancient oracle systems can open the doorway to negative projections, spiritual confusion, or psychological instability. From a Jungian perspective, danger only arises when an individual surrenders their ego-authority to an external tool, expecting the book to make their life decisions for them. The I Ching is structurally designed as a book of wisdom, famously emphasizing the cultivation of the superior person, an individual who acts with self-scrutiny, integrity, and careful alignment with nature. This course provides a safe, grounded, and stable methodology, teaching you to approach consultations from the objective role of an observer rather than a passive recipient of fate.

Is this course live or self-paced?

This is a fully on-demand online course, allowing you to learn at your own pace. It includes video lessons and handouts.

What are the next steps available if I want to deepen my study after this introductory course?

Once you master the basic consulting mechanics in this introductory class, you can advance to A Deeper Look at the I Ching. In that eight-class program, Qi Zhang connects depth psychology with the oracle, diving into the balance of masculine and feminine energies through the myths of the Chinese Dragon representing potential and the Mare representing receptive energy. From there, you can move to I Ching Energy Mastery, a highly structural five-session course featuring a personal Energy Scan and guided workbook where you learn to work with the eight primal nature archetypes to break old behavioral habits and live in harmony with the Tao.
