Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 1, 6.

What to read

Two changing lines: read both line texts of the original hexagram; the upper one is the main one. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)

Hexagram 14 大有, line 6

自天佑之,吉无不利。

The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject with help accorded to him from Heaven. There will be good fortune, advantage in every respect.

Hexagram 14 大有, line 1

无交害,匪咎,艱則无咎。

In the first line, undivided, there is no approach to what is injurious, and there is no error. Let there be a realisation of the difficulty (and danger of the position), and there will be no error (to the end).

The two hexagrams

Hexagram 14 大有 — judgment

元亨。

Tâ Yû indicates that, (under the circumstances which it implies), there will be great progress and success.

Hexagram 32 恒 — judgment

恆:亨,无咎。利貞,利有攸往。

Hăng indicates successful progress and no error (in what it denotes). But the advantage will come from being firm and correct; and movement in any direction whatever will be advantageous.
