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.
