If this hexagram appears in a changing reading
Changing lines mark the parts of the six-line figure that move from yin to yang or yang to yin. Those changes generate a second hexagram. Oracle Mirror presents the first hexagram as the current symbolic pattern and the transformed hexagram as a second lens on the direction of change; it does not treat the second figure as a guaranteed future event.
