Also is there an easy way to memorize the lines of hexagrams?
I have gotten all 6 lines changing various times. In general it is just another oracle that comes up when appropriate. That is, if there isn't a 'spanner in the works' such as you are throwing coins in a way that all three coins are linked somehow and only able to come up the same.
When all 6 lines are moving, the hexagram is changing into its opposite line values. For a few hexagrams at the extremes of the two halves of the King Wen sequence this is the next hexagram. For all the rest is a totally different hexagram where the stages of the overall process that were background are becoming focus and those that were focus now are expressing and exhausting themselves, sinking into the background.
The easy way to memorize the lines of the hexagrams is to cast the oracle more than 25 times a day for several years, Looking up and the oracle and interpreting it as a vital source of what you need to know. familiarity with the line patterns, line meanings, etc comes along as a by-product.
The traditional Chinese way to teach the hexagram line patterns were 1) use the trigram houses, that is study the hexagrams in sets of eight, all those with one trigram on top as a set.
2) The commentary in Wilhelm on sequence is said to be a rhyming text to teach the hexagram names in order.
I would suggest, in the alternative to any of these abstract issues, that you use the oracle to answer questions vital to you, look up the hexagrams to interpret the answer, and let your relationship with the Yi guide your further understanding.
There is also the alternative of learning the structural analysis of the Yi, and then the hexagram names and line patterns will be clear from just where there Yang lines in the overall matrix.

Hi everyone,
Well, Frank I was able to go to the site you gave me. Thanks for that link, it's helped me.
Also to everyone, I'm trying to learn the trigram houses.
All the best,
Celeste
