Hexagram 32 恒 changing to hexagram 14 大有
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 32 恒, line 6
震恆，凶。
The topmost line, divided, shows its subject exciting himself to long continuance. There will be evil.
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 14 大有 — judgment
元亨。
Tâ Yû indicates that, (under the circumstances which it implies), there will be great progress and success.
