Traditional Three Coins Method
Traditional Three Coins Method
To inquire of the Oracle you will need 3 coins of equal value.
Think of a question or situation that you want to ask the Oracle.
Toss the 3 coins 6 times to indicate the number assigned to each line.
Heads = 2 Tails =3
Start from the bottom and move upward, there will be 6 lines.
Jot down the number that totals each of the 6 combinations.
Example: Upper Trigram = 2 changing lines and 1 unchanging line.
____0____ Sixth Line 9 changes to 8
____0____ Fifth Line 9 changes to 8
___ ___ Fourth Line 8
Example: Lower Trigram = 2 unchanging lines and 1 changing line.
_________ Third Line 7
_________ Second Line 7
___ x ___ First Line 6 changes to 7
Solid lines are Yang. Broken lines are Yin
3 heads = 6 Greater Yin. Broken line with an X to indicate a changing line
2 heads 1 tail = 7 Lesser Yang. Solid line with no X to indicate no change
2 tails 1 head = 8 Lesser Yin. Broken line with no X to indicate no change
3 tails = 9 Greater Yang, Solid line with an X to indicate a changing line
Make a second list to show the 6 hexagram combinations with the changed lines.
Where the is a 6 the line changes to a 7
Where there is a 9 the line changes to an 8
New Upper Trigram
___ ___ Sixth Line 8
___ ___ Fifth Line 8
___ ___ Fourth Line 8
New Lower Trigram
________ Third Line 7
________ Second Line 7
________ First Line 7
How to Determine the Number Without Using the Hexagram Chart
Some I CHING teachers use the total “score” that your numbers added up to.
The Hexagram value is the total of the 6 numbers instead of the 3-line Trigram patterns.
Example: Six 6s, add up to 36. Six 9s add up to 63.
