Ranking of Changed Lines

[mike1]

Hello,

working with IC is a pretty new thing to me. Joining CLARITY only since short time I want to ask something basic.

Is there any kind of rule or ranking in case I receive more than one changed line in a hexagram?

Many thanks in advance for any info, Mike

There are alot of theories about the ranking of the lines. Some people feel that if you get two change lines, the second one is more important than the first or if you get five change lines then it is the line that does NOT change that should attract your attention. And then there are ideas about what hexagram the change lines should lead you to. That is, if you get three change lines you can read all three and then change them and read the new hexagram, or you can start by changing the first change line and then reading the hexagram that creates and then change the second change line in that hexagram and read the hexagram that creates etc. Anyway, yeah, you can make it as complicated or as simple as you wish.
