What this change means
Wind comes out of Fire, a hearth with smoke rising: the second, fifth and top lines move, and Well-Being becomes 37 The Tribe. Both judgments carry the reading. Well-Being describes harmony and support. 37 The Tribe says that right relationships, with each person in their place and carrying out their role fully, move things forward and make success last, and that your words need to match your actions to ring true. The image asks the noble person to put substance into their words and constancy into their conduct. Together, they suggest that the peace of this time is held in the household, the team, the close circle. Look at the roles there. Is each one clear and respected, your own included? Say what you mean and do what you say. A good season grows roots when the people closest to you can count on you every day.
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 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.
- The judgment of 37 The Tribe
Right relationships, with everyone in their proper place and fully carrying out their role, will move things forward and make success last. Your words need to match your actions so they come across as genuine.
The constancy of the woman is favorable.
- 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 5 of 11 Well-Being
Joining with those who are at a disadvantage compared with you, and supporting them, brings you blessings.
Emperor Yi gives his younger sister in marriage. Blessing. Great good fortune.
- 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.
