Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 1, 2, 6.

What to read

Three changing lines: read the judgments of the original and the resulting hexagram; the original is the main one. (Rule set out by Zhu Xi in the Yixue qimeng.)

Judgment of hexagram 32 恒

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.

Judgment of hexagram 30 離

利貞。亨。畜牝牛,吉。

Lî indicates that, (in regard to what it denotes), it will be advantageous to be firm and correct, and that thus there will be free course and success. Let (its subject) also nourish (a docility like that of) the cow, and there will be good fortune.

The changing lines of hexagram 32

LineChineseLegge
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.
2悔亡。The second line, undivided, shows all occasion for repentance disappearing.
6震恆,凶。The topmost line, divided, shows its subject exciting himself to long continuance. There will be evil.
