What this change means
Heaven doubled, pure creative strength: four lines move, the first, third, fourth and fifth, and the still second and top lines of 1 Activity carry the meaning. The second says the moment has come to speak with those who can help. The top line warns that pride could be what trips you up now.
Coming from 4 Immaturity, the message stays consistent even as the energy rises. You have real force available, the qualities to carry an undertaking through. But strength without counsel is risky, and success can feed arrogance. Reach out to those who know more than you, and keep listening even when things go well. Watch for the moment you start believing you no longer need anyone. That's the point where creative power turns against itself. Humility keeps the momentum healthy, and conversation keeps it pointed in the right direction.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 2 of 1 Activity, which stays still
It's time to talk with the people who can help you.
The dragon shows itself in the field. It is favorable to see the great person.
- Line 6 of 1 Activity, which stays still
Pride may be your worst enemy right now.
A dragon that climbs too high. There is 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 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 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.
