Cast three coins around one concrete question — the classical I Ching coin oracle, computed line by line.
I Ching coin oracle guide
Use this free I Ching coin reading for one concrete question. Six three-coin throws build a Liu Yao chart from the bottom up, including the original and changed hexagrams, moving lines, najia, six relatives, six spirits, self/other positions, void branches, and focus-line strength.
Review OpenFate’s calculation and validation methodBegin with one answerable question, then throw three coins six times. Each total is 6, 7, 8, or 9: old yin, young yang, young yin, or old yang. The first throw forms the bottom line and the sixth forms the top line. Old yin and old yang are moving lines, so they reverse to create the changed hexagram.
The three-coin method is often called the I Ching coin oracle. Liu Yao, Wen Wang Gua, and najia divination refer to related interpretive systems that add time, six relatives, six spirits, self/other positions, and a question-specific focus line. OpenFate shows the chart and evidence together, treating the result as a conditional tendency rather than an inevitable prediction.
The server owns the six three-coin tosses and freezes their instant before deriving the hexagrams, Najia stems and branches, palace, Shi/Ying, Six Spirits, voids, moving lines, topic focus, and strength evidence. AI may interpret those facts but cannot recast them.
Reference basis
The engine follows its documented Najia tables and topic-driven Yong Shen rules. Lineage choices vary, and structural labels such as Liu Chong or Liu He never become automatic failure or success claims.
The coin cast and complete calculated najia chart are free without login or credits. After sign-in, your first successful OpenFate AI oracle reading is free across all six oracles. Later successful readings cost 10 credits; failures use neither the free reading nor credits.
Throw three coins six times. Record each total as 6, 7, 8, or 9 and place the first throw at the bottom. Totals 6 and 9 are moving lines that reverse yin and yang to create the changed hexagram.
The coin oracle describes the three-coin casting method. Liu Yao, Wen Wang Gua, and najia divination commonly describe related systems that add stems and branches, six relatives, self/other positions, and a focus line. Terminology varies by lineage, so this page lists the layers it actually calculates.
No. The system first fixes the six coin results and cast time, then applies the documented rules to calculate the original hexagram, changed hexagram, moving lines, and najia chart. AI can only explain that calculated evidence; it cannot recast, change the hexagram, or invent missing data. Liu Yao is a traditional symbolic system, not an outcome guarantee. For medical, legal, financial, or safety decisions, use real-world evidence and qualified professional advice.
Keep the first valid cast as your reference. Cast again only after the real conditions have materially changed or you can ask a genuinely different question, not simply because you dislike the first result.
