64 Hexagram Index FAQ

How should I use this hexagram index?

If you already have a reading, open the matching hexagram first. If you are studying, begin with foundational pairs such as Qian and Kun, Tai and Pi, Kan and Li.

Should I read the changing line before the main hexagram?

Read the main hexagram first, then the changing line. A single line is easier to misread when it is detached from the larger condition.
