Hexagram 32 恒 changing to hexagram 11 泰
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 1, 4.
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 32 恒, line 4
田无禽。
The fourth line, undivided, shows a field where there is no game.
Hexagram 32 恒, line 1
浚恆，貞凶，无攸利。
The first line, divided, shows its subject deeply (desirous) of long continuance. Even with firm correctness there will be evil; there will be no advantage in any way.
The two hexagrams
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.
Hexagram 11 泰 — judgment
小往大來，吉亨。
In Thâi (we see) the little gone and the great come. (It indicates that) there will be good fortune, with progress and success.
