Decide why you want to consult the I Ching before you choose your reader. A reading can give detailed information about the choices you have in a situation, so be sure of your purpose before you even begin looking.
Visit New Age stores in your area and ask the staff about good I Ching readers. Check out bulletin boards and flyers in the store. Ask patrons if they've consulted with anyone who reads the oracle. You can also look online (see Resouces below).
Check out New Age publications (see Resources below). Readers can do I Ching consultations by phone, online chat or email.
Search for I Ching readers at psychic fairs. The advantage here is that you can sense immediately whether you bond with the reader. You can also compare the results to other forms of divination to decide which one best suits your style.
Ask about a reader's experience with the I Ching. They may boast of their psychic abilities, but it also takes understanding of ancient Chinese philosophy and culture to know how to fully interpret this oracle.
Note what style or focus a particular reader advertises. Some address relationships while others may emphasize self-help. It's important you match the reader's strengths with your goals.
Formulate an appropriate question to get the most out of your I Ching reading. The oracle works best when one asks for clarity or how to cope with a difficult situation rather than "What's going to happen."
