Understanding 'Opposite' Hexagrams

[Retro158]

I've been seeing reference to 'opposite' hexagrams, ie reading the changing line from the first hexagram in the second hexagram - and I'd like to know more about this.

Can anyone point me to other posts on this, or explain what the significance is of applying the changing line to both hexagrams. In some of the readings, this additional perspective has seemed very meaningful, but I don't understand why the changing line would apply to the second hexagram?

Thanks!

If I understand it right You mean that the changing line should be taken into consideration in the second/changed hexagram as well ?
If so, it's not what traditionally is used ie. the second hexagram concerns only the tag and Judgement/Image...
In Bradford Hatchers book (1) I've read that it's called "Fan Yao" when the changing line is highlighted in the second hexagram as well. He explains it as: ".... The resonant line in the Zhi Gua. This is not part of the Yi's response, but it may hold clues to the Changing Line's meaning." (2)

Just to evidence other possibilities
for a meaningful relation of a line between opposites hexagrams:
