The Chronomantic I-Ching is a lesser known method of casting the I-Ching without need of Coins or Yarrow Stalks. With this method of casting, one only needs to know the current time. The downside is that you can only use this method of casting once every Nexus hour ((IRL 7 minutes 30 seconds)) but the process of interpretation should take more than one nexus hour, so it's not too much of an issue.

First, we need to understand how to read the time. Diviners know how to read time as well as every inn keeper in our lands. Time will always read as:
"Hyul, Moon, day, time"
So, for example, a full date could read:
"Hyul 95, 3rd Moon, 1st Sun 10 p.m." - 10 p.m., 10 post meridiem meaning past midday - Sun represents day because we have 1 sun a day - Moon represents month because we have 1 full moon a month - Hyul represents one year of King MuHyul's reign
So, the time is 22 hours on the 1st of March, in the 95th year of King MuHyul's reign.
With this information, it is time for some math.
<b> Present Hexagram (Sun + hour) / 8 (moon + hour) / 8
<b> Future Hexagram (Sun + moon) / 8 (Hyul + sun + moon + hour) / 8
Plugging the example numbers into the formulae, we get:
(1 + 22) / 8 = 2 remainder 7 (3 + 22) / 8 = 3 remainder 1
(1 + 3) / 8 = 0 remainder 4 (95 + 1 + 3 + 22) / 8 = 15 remainder 1
The only things we need here are the remainders which become... Remainder of 0 becomes Heaven trigram Remainder of 1 becomes Pond trigram Remainder of 2 becomes Fire trigram Remainder of 3 becomes Thunder trigram Remainder of 4 becomes wind trigram Remainder of 5 becomes Water trigram Remainder of 6 becomes Mountain trigram Remainder of 7 becomes Earth trigram
And so, my remainders of 7,1 and 4,1 becomes the trigrams of Earth over pond (Lin) in the present and Wind over Pond (Chung Fu) in the future.
