What this change means
Wind replaces the upper Heaven as the fourth line moves: perhaps the dragon leaps, perhaps it stays in the deep. No fault either way. This line puts a real choice in front of you, whether to keep going or to stop, and the reading centers on making that choice honestly. The resulting hexagram, 9 Small Things, gives the context. Your situation promises success, but not yet; there are still obstacles to resolve. That doesn't make the decision for you, but it shapes it. If you go on, go on in small steps. If you pause, use the pause to clear what's in the way. Either path can be sound if you choose it with open eyes. What doesn't help is hovering between them. Decide, take the modest action you can take now, and save the large move for when the way is clear.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 4 of 1 Activity
It's time to decide whether you want to keep moving forward or stop.
Perhaps it leaps in the abyss. No fault.
- The judgment of 1 Activity
The creative principle. Activity. New beginnings, flourishing, and the qualities you need to carry any undertaking or project through to success.
Great success. Constancy is favorable.
- The judgment of 9 Small Things
You're facing a situation that promises success, but it isn't time yet. There are still obstacles on the way that you need to resolve. For now you can take small actions and wait for the right moment to act on a large scale.
Success. Dense clouds and no rain, from my western outskirts.
