What this change means

The order of the starting figure gives way to fire over water as four lines move. In 64 Transition, the still lines are the ones to read. The fourth line says the moment to act is here: get clear on your aim and go directly toward it, and progress can grow and endure. The top line speaks of success and tangible results you can enjoy and share, with one caution: excess leads to loss. So the community's work is almost done, but not quite. Things are coming together, while a few pieces still haven't settled. Move with purpose now; vagueness is the risk. Once results arrive, celebrate them with the people who helped, and keep the celebration in proportion. Overconfidence or indulgence at the finish can undo what patient cooperation built.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 4 of 64 Transition, which stays still

    The time for action has come. Define what you want and head straight for it: you'll make growing, lasting progress.

    Constancy brings good fortune. Regret vanishes. With the force of thunder the land of Guifang is attacked; in three years comes a reward from the great kingdom.

  2. Line 6 of 64 Transition, which stays still

    You'll have success and tangible results. You can relax, have fun and share what you've achieved with others, but don't overdo it: any excess will lead to loss.

    There is sincere trust in drinking wine. No fault. If the head gets wet, trust loses its measure.

  3. The judgment of 13 Gathering with Equals

    It's a time of meetings with people of a high nature like yours, with whom you can carry out important tasks and projects. Relationships built on trust and mutual support take shape. Large, innovative projects are favored.

    Community in the open country. Success. It is favorable to cross the great river. The constancy of the noble person is favorable.

  4. Line 1 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    Shared projects should be carried out in the open, with nothing hidden.

    Community at the gate. No fault.

  5. Line 2 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    If you join with people who try to exclude others, the projects won't move forward.

    Community within the clan. Distress.

  6. Line 3 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    If you let distrust grow in your relationships and let the people in them hide things from each other, your actions will fail.

    Hiding soldiers in the brush, climbing the high hill. For three years, no rising.

  7. Line 5 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    The big differences seem impossible to bridge; still, with patience and a willing heart, union returns.

    Community: first wailing and cries, then laughter. The great armies manage to meet.

  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.
