Pictured: I tried to visualize the inner four hexagrams in relation to the outer sixty but I couldn’t find a chart which excluded Qian, Kun, Kan and Li. Note that the Kan hexagram is in the Yin fish where the white dot would normally be and Li is in the Yang fish where the black dot would be. This is the correct position of Kan and Li in regard to Post-Heaven Yin and Yang. Qian and Kun are just the white and black fish so I put those hexagrams beside them. Interested in learning more?
