Cast a hexagram for an I-Ching consultation. Returns the primary hexagram, the six lines (6=old yin, 7=young yang, 8=young yin, 9=old yang from bottom to top), any moving lines, and the changing hexagram if there are moving lines. Pass seed to make the cast deterministic (useful for testing or for reproducing a reading).
