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.

About this page

This page gives an original concise reflection rather than reproducing a modern translation of the classic Judgment or line texts. Serious study benefits from comparing reputable scholarly translations and commentaries because terminology, textual history, and interpretive traditions differ.
