insight on many changing lines

[signs]

I tried to search for information on this in the -search- but not able to find any. What if one has five or six changing lines? Because so many are changing it gives so many different perspectives like from -great fortune- to -danger-.
Would the following hexagram be more important than the changing lines giving such different perspectives..?

Is there already an explanation how to interpret this? If so please let me know where I can find this.

Thanks it advance.

There are a few schools of thought. I'd recommend following the lines like a sequence of evolving events. It's like a story. At its inception the first line is the most pertinent, if eg. you have 3 or more moving lines. During the course of events, should you enquire, you might realise that you're actually at line 2 or 3 situated somewhere in the middle. The top line determines the final outcome.
I don't usually take the resulting/potential Hex into consideration ... some consider it as the background context, others see it as the future.

If your lines move from danger to great fortune, all will be well without any intervention on your part. Just maintain a Hex 61 attitude. The reverse, however, would necessitate enquiring further as to how to best avert danger, extricate yourself from it, etc.

Whatever the case, no condition is permanent ... so even if the top line suggests a pitfall or adversity, things may evolve thereafter, in some cases.
That's my take on it.

Search for multiple to find threads about multiple moving lines. Here is the first one:

I'm partial to Master Yin's rules in the list pocossin posted. Once you've determined which line is ruling the situation, by all means look over the other changing lines, then the entire sequence of lines, then the resultant hex.

Multiple changing lines indicates you're already in a complex situation. Methodologies that have you consulting the resultant of each changing line, along with their reversals and opposites and corresponding changing lines in the resultants and reversals and opposites are not clarifying the situation, they are adding to the complexity. More to the point, such approaches simply turn your casting into a smorgasbord where you end up choosing the interpretation that suits your predelictions. This is the opposite of clarity.

Once you've cogitated on the initial sequence and consulted a variety of commentators, then you might ask a follow-up question. I find it most useful to ask the general question in the evening, then do the serious interpretive work the next morning, then ask the follow-up (if necessary) later that day or the next evening. Let complicated readings settle into the psyche rather than plunging into a morass of contradictions or fluffy nonsense.
