A question can give the reading a useful frame. It is optional, stays in this browser flow, and does not change the casting method or the six-line facts.

How the coin method works
- Three independent coin faces are generated with browser Web Crypto.
- Yang/head contributes 3 and yin/tail contributes 2.
- The total becomes 6, 7, 8, or 9.
- Repeat six times, with the first result as the bottom line.
- 6 and 9 move; reversing those lines derives the relating hexagram.
What you get
The free result includes the full six-line figure, primary hexagram number and name, changing-line positions, a relating hexagram when one exists, and an original basic interpretation of the hexagram themes. It does not require sign-in, payment, or AI.
A generated line cannot be edited. Use New reading only when you intentionally want to discard the entire browser-session reading and start again.
Understanding a three-coin reading
Start with the primary hexagram as the main pattern. If moving lines appear, note where change occurs before looking at the relating hexagram. The relating figure is a second structural reference, not a guaranteed outcome.
