Privacy and use
No name, account or email required. Birth details remain in page memory and are removed on clear or reload. They are not stored or added to URLs. Only language preference is saved locally. The site is funded by ads: pages load Adsterra ads in an isolated frame, and Adsterra and its partners may receive your IP and browser information and use cookies for ad delivery and measurement (privacy policy: https://adsterra.com/privacy-policy/). The ad frame cannot read this page, and we never provide birth details or charts to advertisers. Pages also load an Adsterra popunder (clicking the page may open an ad tab in the background, frequency-capped per visitor) and a Social Bar (a corner overlay). These two scripts run on the page itself: we do not deliberately provide birth details or charts to advertisers, but we cannot prevent a third-party script from reading the page; use your browser's ad blocking if this concerns you. Each move to another page is a full page load. Visitors in the EEA, UK or Switzerland must agree before ads load. No analytics or external AI requests are enabled. You can refuse ads with your browser's ad or cookie blocking; the tools keep working.
About this tool
Coin divination is a simple way to cast an I Ching hexagram: toss three coins six times; each toss yields old yin, young yang, young yin or old yang, stacked from bottom to top. Old yin and old yang are changing lines; when they change they form a second hexagram that shows where the situation is heading.
This page shows the primary and resulting hexagram names with plain-language meanings and tells you which hexagram and line to read based on the number of changing lines. Focus on one concrete matter and treat the result as a mirror for reflection rather than a promise.
FAQ
Anything to keep in mind when asking?
Traditionally: be sincere, ask one thing at a time and do not ask the same question repeatedly. The result is material for reflection.
What is a changing line?
A line thrown as old yin (6) or old yang (9) turns into its opposite; such lines are called changing lines and the new hexagram is the resulting hexagram.
Why are the original line texts missing?
This page gives plain-language meanings and reading rules; for line texts consult an edition of the Zhouyi, as editions differ.
Is the randomness trustworthy?
It uses the browser's cryptographic generator, is never uploaded and your question is not recorded.
