What this change means
Thunder and wind, movement that keeps going: the third, fourth and top lines move, and the hesitation of 4 Immaturity becomes sustained action. Three lines moving give equal weight to both judgments. The first asks you to accept that you're not yet mature in this area and to seek out guidance, then follow it.
The resulting hexagram, 32 What Lasts, asks for action rather than stillness: clear goals and steady conduct in line with them, so achievements grow and endure. Together they describe learning as a long commitment. Advice is the starting point, but it's consistent practice over time that turns it into ability. Pick clear goals, ask how to reach them, and keep at it. Watch for jumping from one method to another every time something gets hard. Steadiness in learning is what makes the results last.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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.
- The judgment of 32 What Lasts
This moment asks you for action, not stillness. It asks you to have clear goals to head toward and to act in line with them. That way you'll achieve things, and your achievements will keep growing and will last.
Success. No fault. Constancy is favorable. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
- 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 6 of 4 Immaturity
Accepting the consequences of your actions and correcting what's needed will help you right now.
Striking the ignorant. Being a raider is not favorable; stopping the raider is favorable.
