Coin toss: yes or no

Heads for yes, tails for no. The quickest oracle there is — and a good way to find out what you were hoping for.

How this reading works

Think of a clear yes-or-no question, then toss a virtual coin: heads for yes, tails for no. Each side has an equal chance. Many people find the real value is in noticing whether they feel pleased or disappointed by the result, which can show what they actually want.

You hold a yes/no question, flip, and read heads as yes and tails as no. Some people use the moment of flipping simply to notice which answer they were hoping for.

Coin tossing is a form of sortition with two possible outcomes; used this way the coin serves as a binary lot. Many divination systems, from moon blocks to cowries, are built on binary lots.

Cultural, safety and licence notes

A coin is pure chance. Do not let it decide anything serious.
