What this change means

Water drawn up through wood: four lines move and the gathering becomes a well. In 48 Right Action, the two still lines guide you. The third says you aren't using all your talents, though you have many, so opportunities are there and you're letting them pass. The fifth says you recognize the opportunities around you and feel motivated to act, which leads to success. So the question is whether you'll draw the water. The resources of the community, its people and skills, are already present. You don't need to look for something new; you need to use what's there. Stop postponing the decision or the step you know is right. When you see the opening clearly and act with determination, the well can nourish many.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 3 of 48 Right Action, which stays still

    You aren't using all your talents, and you have many, so the opportunities are there but you don't take them.

    The well is cleaned, and no one drinks: my heart aches. Water could be drawn. If the king were clear-sighted, all would share in the blessing.

  2. Line 5 of 48 Right Action, which stays still

    You recognize the opportunities around you and feel motivated and determined to act, which will bring success.

    The well is clear: the cold spring is drunk.

  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 4 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    Despite the differences, if you reach agreements, trust will come back little by little.

    Climbing up on the wall, yet unable to attack. Good fortune.

  7. Line 6 of 13 Gathering with Equals

    You're in a favorable position from which you can reach agreements with all kinds of people.

    Community on the outskirts. No regret.

  8. The judgment of 48 Right Action

    You're at a moment when opportunities are on your side. But if you don't know how to use them because you keep putting off decisions and actions, being in the right place at the right time won't do you any good. It's not about looking for new things but about making use of what you have, or there will be loss.

    The town is changed, the well is not. Nothing lost, nothing gained. They come and go, and draw from the well. Nearly there, the rope does not yet reach the well; if the jar breaks, misfortune.
