Over the past couple weeks I've noticed that my readings seem to often work well
In recent readings, after having seen the first five lines, I've been able to envision how either a yin or yang line at the top could make sense. So in your example, I might cast a reading that is could either be 15 or 52 and either of those judgements could make sense " the reading work well regardless" (whether the sixth line came out as yin and yang)".Hi, Joypog.
I suspect this is quite interesting, but I'm not sure what you're asking. For instance,
Sorry for being dim!
- Do "sixth line pairings" mean readings where only the 6th line changes, two hexagrams connected by a moving sixth line? Like the casting 15.6 to 52?
- You say, "my readings seem to often work well whether the top line ends up yin or yang." I'm confused - all lines are always either yin or yang, there is no other option. Do you mean it doesn't seem to matter, that your readings work well regardless?
- I also don't know what you mean by 'It definitely makes "more" sense with the final choice of the yarrows'. What makes more sense? What are you comparing it to that makes less sense? What do you mean by "final choice"?
Could you give us some examples? That might help.
Well I'm new to this practice, so I'm still feeling around for an appropriate vocabulary. When I say "work well" I mean "a judgment that brings up thoughts applicable to the question at hand".Pardon, but what does,
"readings seem to work well", mean?
(you've lost me entirely: I live in the world where there is comprehension and miscomprehension regarding readings.)
I'm trying to describe the condition when two hexagrams have the same first five lines and the only difference is the top line.Yes, if you can explain a bit more that would be helpful. Do you mean when the top line stays the same in the new resulting hexagram, or where the top line changes? Or do you mean something else entirely?

I think I see what you mean.In recent readings, after having seen the first five lines, I've been able to envision how either a yin or yang line at the top could make sense. So in your example, I might cast a reading that is could either be 15 or 52 and either of those judgements could make sense " the reading work well regardless" (whether the sixth line came out as yin and yang)".
I was wondering if anyone had written an article about these hexagrams "pairs" where the bottom five lines all match.
Joypog, I think I now get what you are doing here.... the first five hexagram lines of 1 and 43 are the same, with only the top line being yang and yin ....
Yep. But don't stop exploring either! What book are you talking about? D.I hope don't repeat the same pattern with this book..
I meant the Yi Jing. Hope it isn't a faux pas on this forum to call the Oracle a book.Yep. But don't stop exploring either! What book are you talking about? D.
Why would it be? After all it is a book.Hope it isn't a faux pas on this forum to call the Oracle a book.
I have a friend who used to travel with a plate she called Platy. And Platy would end up in all kinds of selfies: Platy at Mont-Saint-Michel; Platy sitting in a US Army jeep at Omaha Beach (Normandy); Platy at the Eiffel Tower ...An exclusive minority here likes to call it,
Mr. Booky.
....and of course when you get on really intimate terms with Yi you are allowed to use the name Mr Booky Mc Bookface.An exclusive minority here likes to call it,
Mr. Booky.
