I Ching Six-Line Divination Hexagram Tossing Operation Tutorial
There are two commonly used methods for casting a hexagram in I Ching Six-Line divination:Online divinationandTraditional copper coin divination.

I. Prerequisites for casting a hexagram
1. Determine what you want to predict.
First, you need to have something that Self cares about very much, wants to know the result in advance, or wants to know how it will develop over the next period.
For example:
- What will the trend of the Shanghai Composite Index be next week?
- Will a certain stock rise or fall next week?
- Will the business currently under negotiation succeed?
- How will the exam I am about to take turn out?
- How will a certain important matter (such as love) develop over the next?
2. Find a Static room
Choose a static room where no one will disturb you.
Enter the room alone and close the door securely, turn off the TV, music, phone, and other devices that may cause distraction, and switch your mobile phone to airplane mode.
Keep the surrounding environment static to avoid external interference.
Once ready, according to Self's habit, choose one of the two following hexagram-casting methods.

Three, the second method: traditional coin tossing divination
Step 1: Prepare the tools
Prepare the following items:
- Three copper coins or ordinary coins.
- A piece of paper.
- A pen.
The copper coins need to have clearly distinguishable obverse and reverse sides (the side with characters is the obverse), so that the result of each hexagram casting can be recorded.
Step 2: Hold the copper coins together with both hands.
Sitting alone in the prepared Static room.
Place three copper coins in the palms of both hands, and bring both hands together naturally.
When you are ready, do not shake the Moving copper coins for now.

"What will the Shanghai Composite Index trend be like next week?"Keep thinking about this question in your mind repeatedly, try not to get distracted, and do not think about other things.
After concentrating your thoughts for 1 to 2 minutes, continue thinking about this matter and begin the formal divination by shaking the coins.
Step 4: The first hexagram toss
Hold three copper coins clasped in both hands, shake them gently, and let the coins flip freely in your palms.
Then toss the three copper coins onto the table together.
Wait until the three copper coins completely stop rolling, then observe which side of each is facing up.
On the bottom line of the paper, record the heads and tails of the three copper coins.

The result of the first toss is placed at the bottom, the second is placed on the second-to-last line, and so on; the result of the sixth toss is placed at the top.
For example, the records of six hexagram tosses are as follows:
| Number of hexagram tosses | Copper coin result |
|---|---|
| Sixth time (topmost) | Counter, counter, counter |
| The fifth time | Reverse, forward, forward |
| Fourth time | Front, back, back |
| Third time | Right, right, right. |
| Second time | Counter, counter, direct |
| First time (bottommost) | Positive, negative, positive |
The above is only a recording example; in actual operation, the Guest fills it in based on the real hexagram results.
Step 6: Open the online charting website.

IV. Points to Note When Casting Hexagrams
- One matter, one question:Predict only one thing that the Self truly cares about at a time.
- Solitude Static:Find a quiet room, cast the hexagram alone, and avoid interruptions from others.
- Focus your mind:After preparing the divination tools or the online divination interface, focus your mind for 1 to 2 minutes, concentrating on the matter you wish to predict.
- Stay focused:Throughout the entire divination process, always keep the same matter in mind; do not change the question midway.
- Natural hexagram tossing:Natural shake Moving, toss the copper coins, do not control the result artificially.
- Six times in a row:Complete all six divination tosses; do not miss or add any tosses.
- Record from bottom to top:The result of the first toss is placed at the bottom, and the result of the sixth toss is placed at the top.
- Record truthfully:Record according to the actual results that occur; do not change them arbitrarily.
- Avoid shaking randomly:Do not repeatedly cast a new hexagram just because you do not like the result of a divination.
Five, complete the hexagram casting.
Whether you choose online hexagram casting or traditional copper coin casting, you can complete the operation by following the steps above and generate the hexagram through the Tianji I Ching Six-Line system.
Online divination:Open the website, fill in the information, focus your intention for 1–2 minutes, complete six divination tosses, and generate the chart.
Traditional copper coin divination:Prepare three copper coins, concentrate your mind for 1–2 minutes, shake continuously six times, record the results from bottom to top, enter them into the system, and generate the chart.
Online divination is more convenient, while traditional coin divination preserves the manual operation process. You can choose either method according to your personal preference.
Note: Static solitude, concentration of thoughts, and similar practices are traditional divination habits. Currently, there is no scientific evidence proving that these practices can improve prediction accuracy. The results of divination should not be used as the sole basis for financial investment or other major decisions.
