Casting Tri-grams

Three Chinese coins, one side has four characters, the other side has two. The one with four characters is a yang line, a straight line. The other side is a yin line. Shake the coins in your hand, tune in, think of a question if you have one, drop the coins on a table. Now, line them up, one on top of the other, you now have a trigram. Your first trigram is the most important. It is called subject. You do this again, your second trigram is called fate. They do not have to be on top of each other. Remember you have just cast three coins. You might want to write your answers on a piece of paper. The subject is who is asking the question or the question and the fate is what is affecting the question. The subject is a little more important than the fate. Again, intuition is the key to interpretation.
