Interpretation of the Drawing of Hexagram 11 of the I Ching
Opposite Hexagram (錯卦 Cuo Gua): The opposite hexagram indicates everything that is not or the opposite of the solution to the situation. The opposite hexagram is obtained by replacing Yang traits with Yin traits and vice versa, to become Hexagram 12 – Pi (Stagnation).
Permuted Hexagram (覆卦 Fu Gua): The permuted hexagram provides information on the origin of the situation. The permuted hexagram is obtained by permuting the two trigrams, again resulting in Hexagram 12 – Pi (Stagnation).
Nuclear Hexagram (互卦 Hu Gua): The nuclear hexagram represents the heart of the problem or question. The nuclear hexagram is obtained by using the four lines in the center to form two trigrams, becoming Hexagram 54 – Gui Mei (The marrying maiden).
Mutant Hexagram (Derived): The mutation of a line gives a new hexagram, which indicates the evolution of the situation:
- Line 6 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H26
- Line 5 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H5
- Line 4 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H34
- Line 3 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H19
- Line 2 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H36
- Line 1 mutes, the hexagram obtained is H46
