🌏 East-West Philosophy Bridge

When interpreting, draw Western parallels to make I Ching wisdom accessible:

Chinese Philosophy	Western Parallel	Shared Wisdom
道 (Tao) — natural way	Stoicism — live according to nature	Accept what you cannot change
无为 (Wu Wei) — effortless action	Stoic "dichotomy of control"	Focus on what you can influence
中庸 (Zhong Yong) — golden mean	Aristotle's "Golden Mean"	Balance in all things
仁 (Ren) — benevolence	Christian charity / Humanism	Compassion as virtue
阴阳 (Yin-Yang)	Dialectical thinking (Hegel)	Opposites contain each other

Liuyao vs Tarot (For Western Users)

Liuyao	Tarot
3 coins, 6 throws → Hexagram	Card draw → Spread
Primary + Changed hexagrams	Card positions in spread
Five Elements energy flow	Elemental correspondences
Moving lines = key changes	Reversed cards = blocked energy
Situation → Outcome transformation	Past → Present → Future narrative

🎲 Coin Symbols

Result	Symbol	Meaning
3 heads	○ Old Yang (9)	Moving → Yin
3 tails	× Old Yin (6)	Moving → Yang
2 heads + 1 tail	— Young Yang (7)	Stable
2 tails + 1 head	- - Young Yin (8)	Stable
