What this change means

Fire stands over Water: the first, third, fourth and top lines move, and Well-Being opens onto 64 Transition. Here the counsel lies in the second and fifth lines, the ones left unmoved. The second says patience and waiting for the right moment matter, but while you wait, get ready. The fifth says you get what you want, can enjoy it, and can contribute to the well-being of others. The resulting hexagram describes things coming together for success, with some pieces still not in place; stay alert to avoid mistakes born of immaturity, even after you've gotten what you wanted. So the good season is unfinished. Don't celebrate as if the crossing were done. Prepare carefully, sort things and put each in its place, as the image suggests. When it does come together, share the fruit; that's what makes it last.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. Line 2 of 64 Transition, which stays still

    Patience, and waiting to act at the right moment, matter, but while you wait, get ready.

    Drags back on its wheels. Constancy brings good fortune.

  2. Line 5 of 64 Transition, which stays still

    You get what you want; you'll be able to enjoy it and contribute to the well-being of others.

    Constancy brings good fortune. No regret. The light of the noble person: there is sincere trust. Good fortune.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. The judgment of 64 Transition

    Things are coming together so that success can arrive and you can take on great projects, but some things still haven't fallen into place. So stay alert, so you don't make mistakes born of immaturity, or you'll drift from your goals. This can happen even after you've gotten what you want: you stop, you hesitate, and mistakes happen.

    Success. The little fox has nearly crossed and wets its tail. Nothing is favorable.
