Cast three coins around one concrete question — the classical I Ching coin oracle, computed line by line.
I Ching coin oracle guide
A Liu Yao reading is an I Ching method for one concrete question. This page simulates six throws of three coins for free, builds the hexagram from the bottom up, and calculates the original and changed hexagrams, moving lines, najia chart, 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, complete calculated najia chart, and copyable prompt are free without login or credits. The optional OpenFate AI full reading costs 15 credits and is charged only after a successful result.
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.
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.
