| 1. |
| Draw a circle. Draw the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
| 2. |
| Create the inscribed hexagram (regular 6-pointed star) of circle 1 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
| 3. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon), enclosed by hexagram 2. | |||
| 4. |
| Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 3 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the left, one pointing to the right. | |||
| 5. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 2. | |||
| 6. |
| Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 5 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
| 7. |
| Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | |||
| 8. |
| Copy circle 5 to the top angular point of hexagram 6. | |||
| 9. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the intersections of circle 8 and the upper side of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing down. | |||
| 10. |
| Construct the inscribed circle of the hexagon, enclosed by hexagram 6. | |||
| 11. |
| Copy circle 10 three times, to the angular points of the triangle of hexagram 2 pointing up. | |||
| 12. |
| Copy circle 1 three times, to the centers of circles 11. | |||
| 13. |
| Draw the three rays from the center of circle 1 to the mutual intersections of circles 12, and extend these in opposite directions up to the outer sides of circles 12. | |||
| 14. |
| Construct three circles concentric to circles 12, each passing through the two near intersections of circle 9 and lines 13, that lie inside the overlapping areas of circles 12, as shown. | |||
| 15. |
| Copy circle 5 three times, to the outer intersections of circles 12 and lines 13. | |||
| 16. |
| Construct a circle concentric to circle 1, passing through the outer ring of intersections of hexagrams 4 and 6. | |||
| 17. |
| Copy circle 16 three times, to the centers of circles 15. | |||
| 18. |
| Extend lines 13 up to the outer sides of circles 15. | |||
| 19. |
| Copy circle 10 to the center of upper circle 15. | |||
| 20. |
| Construct the inscribed equilateral triangle of the lower left circle 17, with an angular point coincident with the end-point of lower left line 18 (extended line 13). | |||
| 21. |
| Copy circle 3 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | |||
| 22. |
| Extend lower right line 18 up to the lower right side of circle 21. | |||
| 23. |
| Create the inscribed hexagram of circle 21 by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing to the end of line 22, one pointing towards the center of circle 1. | |||
| 24. |
| Construct three pairs of parallel lines, by connecting opposite pairs of intersections of the lower right circle 15 and hexagram 23, as shown. | |||
| 25. |
| Copy circles 7 and 10 to the center of the lower right circle 15. | |||
| 26. |
| Draw two rays of hexagram 23 from the center of the lower right circle 15 to the upper right and lower angular points, as shown. | |||
| 27. |
| Circles 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, 19 and 25, triangle 20, and lines 24 and 26 are the constituents of the final reconstruction. | |||
