What this change means
Light comes up over the Earth as five lines move, all but the fifth, and Well-Being becomes 35 Advance. Only the fifth stays as it was, so the new figure's fifth line is where to look. It says that to advance while contributing to others is a sign of greatness, it keeps your progress going, and there's no reason to regret what you've given along the way. The resulting hexagram describes a time of growth and achievement: important people help you, doors open when you ask, your talents are recognized, and it's also a time to help others grow. So harmony becomes forward motion. Ask for what you need without hesitating; you're likely to be heard. At the same time, give generously, and don't count the cost. The image asks you to bring your own bright virtue to light through your own effort. Let your rise lift others too.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 5 of 35 Advance, which stays still
To advance and, as you do, to contribute to others is a sign of greatness, and it will keep your progress going. There's no reason to regret what you've given along the way.
Regret vanishes. Loss or gain: don't be troubled. Going brings good fortune. Nothing that is not favorable.
- The judgment of 11 Well-Being
A period of well-being, harmony and understanding is coming, and you can enjoy it. People and situations that weren't good for you are moving away, and in their place come people and situations that bring blessings and support. Heaven grants its gifts.
The small goes, the great comes. Good fortune. Success.
- Line 1 of 11 Well-Being
A season of flourishing: you surround yourself with like-minded people.
The grass is pulled up, and its tangled roots come too, each with its clump. Setting out brings good fortune.
- Line 2 of 11 Well-Being
It's favorable to take decisive action that gets you out of your comfort zone and to recognize the people around you. There's no need to push anyone away; it's enough to know each person's nature.
Embracing the untilled. Wading across the river; not forgetting the distant; leaving friends behind. So it is honored on the middle way.
- Line 3 of 11 Well-Being
There will be ups and downs. Don't despair: enjoy the calm moments and act with caution in the face of danger.
No plain without a slope, no going without return. Constancy in hardship: no fault. Do not grieve over its truth; in eating there is blessing.
- Line 4 of 11 Well-Being
Inner wealth lets you genuinely support people going through times of need. This will increase your well-being.
Fluttering. Not rich, with its neighbors. Not on guard, with sincere trust.
- Line 6 of 11 Well-Being
The situation may take a turn for the worse. Pay attention and watch for the first signs of decline. If you insist on pressing ahead, there will be loss.
The city wall falls back into the moat. Do not use the army. From the town, orders are proclaimed. Constancy brings distress.
- The judgment of 35 Advance
A time of growth and achievement is coming, and you should make the most of it. You'll receive help and favors from important people. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask: doors will open for you. Your talents are recognized, and just as you receive help, it's also a time to contribute to the growth and betterment of others.
The lord of Kang is granted horses in great numbers; in a single day he is received three times.
