Hexagram 58 兌 changing to hexagram 49 革
Changing lines (counted from the bottom): 2, 3.
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 58 兌, line 3
來兌，凶。
The third line, divided, shows its subject bringing round himself whatever can give pleasure. There will be evil.
Hexagram 58 兌, line 2
孚兌，吉，悔亡。
The second line, undivided, shows the pleasure arising from (inward) sincerity. There will be good fortune. Occasion for repentance will disappear.
The two hexagrams
Hexagram 58 兌 — judgment
亨。利貞。
Tui intimates that (under its conditions) there will be progress and attainment. (But) it will be advantageous to be firm and correct.
Hexagram 49 革 — judgment
已日乃孚，元亨。利貞。悔亡。
(What takes place as indicated by) Ko is believed in only after it has been accomplished. There will be great progress and success. Advantage will come from being firm and correct. (In that case) occasion for repentance will disappear.
