What this change means
The fifth line moves, and Fire rises into the upper place: the dragon flies in the sky. This is the strongest line of the hexagram, and the reading turns on it. What you undertake tends to bring good results now, and help is there if you ask for it. Don't be too proud to ask. The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, describes the abundance this can open, inner as well as outer. It also says what keeps it: a centered character, good deeds, generosity. Prosperity that reaches others tends to last; prosperity held tight tends to sour. So go ahead with what you've planned, seek out the person who can support you, and once things go well, share the gains. A high position is a chance to light up more than your own path. Keep holding back what's harmful and raising up what's good.
