Why is it that we don't read the relating hexagram's lines?
Because you did not actually receive them.Why is it that we don't read the relating hexagram's lines?
I think looking too much at the fan Yao can become a distraction by complicating.It seems natural to me, and I've been doing it recently as a way to see a fuller picture of the reading. Is there some huge leap in logic that Im missing or need to make?

Hi bandomary, I have tried to guess: is it this You mean, Mondo Secter's method as discussed here in this old thread?Hey all -
I'm sure this has been asked here before but Im having trouble surfacing a similar question. If you know specific thread please feel free to just point me there.

Multiple lines seem to make more sense that way. With one line, the fan yao is read of the relating hex to get a clearer picture, so with 2 or more lines why would you also not read those lines in the relating hex - rather than the individual fan yaos with other relating hexagrams?
Thank you!
As the originator of the old thread you refer to ... I believe banjomary is talking about something different -Is it this (what) you mean, Mondo Secter's (and Hatcher's) method as discussed here in - this old thread
Ha ha, we were just talking about this in Change Circle earlier this month. Are you in Change Circle?
The person who started the CC thread uses them. I look at them sometimes but not always, and sometimes they seem quite relevant but I'm not sure how to describe the difference between what they seem to say vs. what the individual steps of change seem to say. Looking at anything like this and trying to get a feel for it probably isn't wrong - as long as you heed Hilary's oft-repeated warning that they're not your answer. They're not the lines you cast directly, so they're not what Yi wants most to show you.
Do you have any interesting examples you could share?
But yes this way can get a little more complicated and you can go down a rabbit holes for sure. When I've done this method it takes a while to break down each line and it's usually easier to just consider the primary hex, but I do feel like Im getting a more complete picture... which is why I wanted to ask you all, in case Im making a big error.Wouldn't it clutter a reading terribly anyway to read the lines of the relating hexagram? You'd be reading change lines you didn't cast and possibly making a clear reading more uneccesarily complex wouldn't you ?
Everyone,
Sorry for my epic delay in getting back to this.
Dfreed, your 2.2.6>4.2.6 example is what I mean. I can use an example from a recent cast: 47.1.2.5>51
I would then say: ok consider 47.1 as it reflects into 51.1, which is a line about being afraid and then feeling easier about it after the initial shock, instead of 58.1, contended joyousness. So when considering this situation, me buying this condo, I could expect more of a 47.1 into 51.1 "flavor" to be involved in this situation, rather than a 47.1 into 58.1 flavor. Or a 47.1 > 51.1 cause/effect chain rather than a 47.1>58.1 cause/effect chain.
But yes this way can get a little more complicated and you can go down a rabbit holes for sure. When I've done this method it takes a while to break down each line and it's usually easier to just consider the primary hex, but I do feel like Im getting a more complete picture... which is why I wanted to ask you all, in case Im making a big error.
MossElk - I am not meaning that I read the fanyao instead of the primary hex, I mean using the fanyao of the transformed hex when receiving multiple lines.
Surnevs, X_X That is way too complicated for me : p I don't think that's what I am talking about .
I hope Im making sense here, let me know if I can explain further. Thank you for everyone's time in writing me back on this. This is my favorite online community, you guys are amazing and I am honored to get to be in dialogue with you all.
