Immaturity becomes Gathering with Equals
What this change means
Five lines move, and only the top holds still: fire now rises toward heaven, and the solitary learner of 4 Immaturity steps into community. The still top line of 13 Gathering with Equals sets the tone. It says your standing now lets you come to terms with people of every kind. The resulting hexagram describes meetings with people of a high nature like your own, relationships built on trust and mutual support, and large, innovative projects.
That's quite a shift from where you began. The humility you've practiced, asking, listening and applying, is part of what makes agreement possible now. Others can tell when someone is open to them. Watch for losing that openness as your position improves. Keep treating others as people you can learn from, and the alliances you form can carry ambitious work.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 6 of 13 Gathering with Equals, which stays still
You're in a favorable position from which you can reach agreements with all kinds of people.
Community on the outskirts. No regret.
- The judgment of 4 Immaturity
Be aware that you don't yet have the maturity you need to reach what you're after in the area of your question. Act with humility: ask for guidance, seek advice and counsel, and put what you're told into practice.
Success. I do not go looking for the ignorant youth; the ignorant youth comes looking for me. The first time the oracle is asked, I answer. A second and a third asking is an offense, and an offense gets no answer. Constancy is favorable.
- Line 1 of 4 Immaturity
You'll receive help, but you have to apply what you're told. Choose guides who demand a lot of you without being domineering.
To wake the ignorant, it is favorable to use punishment and to take off the shackles. Going on this way: distress.
- Line 2 of 4 Immaturity
It's time to cultivate yourself inwardly; then your worth will show on the outside.
Embracing the ignorant: good fortune. Taking a wife: good fortune. The son can hold up the house.
- Line 3 of 4 Immaturity
To get what you want, don't submit to strong personalities who belittle you.
Do not take this woman: at the sight of a man of gold, she is no longer her own. Nothing is favorable.
- Line 4 of 4 Immaturity
Dreaming without acting leads you to failure.
Ignorance hemmed in. Distress.
- Line 5 of 4 Immaturity
If you recognize your lack of knowledge in the area of your question and seek advice, you'll get good results.
A child's ignorance. Good fortune.
- The judgment of 13 Gathering with Equals
It's a time of meetings with people of a high nature like yours, with whom you can carry out important tasks and projects. Relationships built on trust and mutual support take shape. Large, innovative projects are favored.
Community in the open country. Success. It is favorable to cross the great river. The constancy of the noble person is favorable.
