Question 2

How does the coin toss method work?

Accepted Answer

The coin toss method uses three coins for divination. You toss them six times, and each toss determines one line based on the heads/tails combination, resulting in a six-line hexagram.

Question 3

What is a changing hexagram?

Accepted Answer

When the coin toss results in all heads or all tails, it creates a changing line. Changing lines transform (yang becomes yin or vice versa), forming a second hexagram that represents the direction of change.
