How to consult the I Ching (three-coin method)
Step-by-step guide to the three-coin method for casting a hexagram with moving lines and interpretation.
I
Prepare your question
Ask an open but concrete question focused on love, work, or an imminent decision.
II
Toss three coins for each line
Repeat six times from bottom to top. Heads = 3, tails = 2. Sum to 6/7/8/9 per line. Probabilities: 6=1/8, 7=3/8, 8=3/8, 9=1/8. The traditional yarrow-stalk method differs (6=1/16, 7=5/16, 8=7/16, 9=3/16) — Aurapure uses three coins or manual 6/7/8/9 values only.
III
Identify moving lines
6 = old yin (moving), 9 = old yang (moving). Other lines describe the present situation.
IV
Read primary and transformed hexagrams
The primary hexagram describes the present; flipping moving lines yields the transformed hexagram.
V
Integrate the reading
Explore the linked hexagram profile. The oracle shows original Italian readings by team Aurapure — not a specific classical translation.
