Mei Hua Yi Shu Calculator: Number-Based Trigram Cast
The number method divides the first two inputs by eight to select upper and lower trigrams, then the third by six for the moving line. A zero remainder uses eight or six.
10. Treading (Conduct) → 1. The Creative
Upper trigram 1 · Lower 2 · Moving line 3
Treading follows a narrow path beside strength. Careful conduct, clarity and respect for position allow progress through a risky encounter.
Creative force grows through sustained effort. The dragon images move from hidden potential to effective action, then warn against going beyond the fitting height.
Earlier Heaven number order
One is Qian Heaven, two Dui Lake, three Li Fire, four Zhen Thunder, five Xun Wind, six Kan Water, seven Gen Mountain and eight Kun Earth.
A worked example
Inputs 1, 2 and 3 give Heaven above Lake with line three changing. The lower trigram is read from the bottom, so changing its top Yin line turns Lake into Heaven.
