Each throw of three coins forms one line: ☀ counts as 3 and ☽ as 2.
The coin reading builds a hexagram from the bottom up. The primary figure offers an image of the situation, changing lines show where the reading moves, and the related figure offers a view of that change. Read them together.
Each throw of three coins forms one line: ☀ counts as 3 and ☽ as 2. Repeat six times, starting at the bottom. Totals of 6 and 9 are changing lines; 7 and 8 are stable. The related hexagram changes only lines valued 6 or 9. The question is optional.
Values 9, 8, 8, 8, 8 and 8 from bottom to top produce hexagram 24, Return. Only the first line changes: from yang to yin, producing 2, Receptivity. An example reading might explore a return that needs listening and space, without predicting someone's literal return.
