What does gossip mean?

It is called "Eight Diagrams" because there are eight hexagrams around the fish of Yin and Yang in the center of Eight Diagrams, namely "Gan", "Kan", "Kun", "Truth", "Li", "Xun" and "Gen".

Their symbols are: what you see with three long lines is "dry" and "Kun" is cut off by three lines in the middle. Others with long lines and broken lines in the middle are other six hexagrams.

According to these eight hexagrams, there are 64 hexagrams when they are superimposed with other hexagrams or themselves. Fortune tellers usually use 64 hexagrams to tell people's fortune.

For example, the one who asked you to throw six ancient coins, because there are three lines in the gossip and six lines in the sixty-four hexagrams, so he asked you to throw six. According to the front and back of the coin, draw a straight line or a broken line. Finally found the six-pointed star, so he can tell you what you want to know. Each of the 64 hexagrams has detailed predictions and inferences about fortune, official career, relatives and health. Only a numerologist (fortune teller) needs to tell you some of them clearly and reasonably.

I think it also means "your destiny is in your own hands"?
