What this change means
Lakes joined together: the first and top lines move, and both trigrams of 6 Conflict become still water. The top line leads, with a hard truth. Insisting on being right will only cost you; honors won that way get stripped away. The first line shows the better path: don't drag the matter out, hold firm without fighting if talk arises, and things tend to end well.
The resulting hexagram, 58 Inner Peace, describes calm and inner peace that let you achieve great things, and time with like-minded people that recharges you. It also warns against sliding into inertia. So drop the need to win and take your peace back. Spend time with people who restore you, and keep your goals alive. Watch for reopening the argument just when calm returns.
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 6 Conflict
Insisting on being right at this moment will only make you lose.
Perhaps a belt of honor is bestowed; before the morning is out, it is stripped away three times.
- Line 1 of 6 Conflict
Even if the situation invites gossip, holding firm is your best move.
Not dragging the matter out. A few words against; in the end, good fortune.
- The judgment of 6 Conflict
A conflict is arising that can't be solved by action; cleverness works better than force. Recognizing that you can't resolve anything right now, letting events take their course, and seeking the advice of someone wise in this area will help you get out of the conflict.
There is sincere trust, but it is blocked. Caution: stopping halfway brings good fortune; going all the way to the end, misfortune. It is favorable to see the great person. It is not favorable to cross the great river.
- The judgment of 58 Inner Peace
You're in a time of calm and inner peace that lets you achieve great things. Spending time with people whose energy is like yours will nourish and recharge you to reach your aims. Still, don't lose sight of your goals, or you'll slide into inertia.
Success. Constancy is favorable.
