I have a doubt because there's a lot of confusing information out there.
Before I explain it, I want to clarify some terms to be sure we are talking the same languaje.
Inverse hexagram: The hexagram is the result of turning it upside down. So, the inverse of 25 is 26.
Opposite hexagram: It is the result of changing all the lines of the hegram, so the opposite of 25 is 46.
The question is: Some authors claim that the inverse hexagram gives you an idea of what IS NOT the original hexagram, and that the opposite hexagram gives you an idea of the origin of the original hexagram.
My intuition tells me that's wrong, it's just the opposite. the inverse hexagram tells you the origin of the original hexagram and the opposite hexagram tells you what the IS NOT the original hexagram.
Could you clarify for me a little bit?
Thank you very much.
(Sorry about my english).
