Question

Put your question into words and let the form arise calmly.

A good reading doesn't begin with the answer — it begins with a clear question. Take a moment to set it down openly and honestly.

Choose how you cast:

Coins builds the reading line by line and is the most direct method. Traditional stalks does the same, but slower and more classical. Direct draw is for when you want to see a first form quickly.

A subtle tone at cast, reveal and save.
Coins per line0/6

Cast the coins line by line. The reading arises from bottom to top, exactly as the form builds itself.

Line 3 still waiting
Line 2 still waiting
Line 1 still waiting

Help with your question

Only where the choice truly changes something do we briefly explain what you see or do.

Which cast do I choose?

Coins is the most direct line-by-line method. Stalks is slower and more traditional. Direct draw is there for a quick first form, not for a ritual build-up.

What makes a good question?

A good question doesn't look for a yes or no, but for stance, timing or insight. Ask what a situation asks of you rather than whether something simply should happen.

How do I read the result?

Read the initial form first. Then look at where the changing lines tilt something. Only after that do you read the resulting hexagram as the direction that arises from that movement.
