A major hurdle in studying metaphysics is the visual clutter of the charts. The "Dun Jia" plate (the formation of the chart) can look like a grid of hieroglyphics to the uninitiated. The Second Edition introduces improved formatting and visual aids. The layouts are cleaner, the color-coding (in diagrams where applicable) is more intuitive, and the separation of the Heaven, Earth, Man, and Spirit plates is distinct.
