What this change means

Thunder over wind, two forces that keep each other going: four lines move and the gathering becomes something meant to endure. In 32 What Lasts, read the two still lines. The third warns that if outside circumstances grow larger than your dreams and projects, they'll gain power over you. The fourth says motivation and enthusiasm aren't enough; you also need ground where those hopes can actually grow. So the community's commitment needs both inner steadiness and the right ground. Keep your purpose larger than the daily pressures, so they don't redirect you. Then look honestly at whether you're pursuing it in a place, a setting or a group that can actually support it. Constancy aimed in the right direction is what makes achievements 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 3 of 32 What Lasts, which stays still

    If you let outside circumstances grow bigger than your dreams and projects, they'll end up gaining power over you.

    Not making one's virtue last; perhaps shame will follow. Constancy brings distress.

  2. Line 4 of 32 What Lasts, which stays still

    Motivation and enthusiasm aren't all you need to achieve something; you also need to find the places where those dreams can flourish.

    No game in the field.

  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 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.

  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 32 What Lasts

    This moment asks you for action, not stillness. It asks you to have clear goals to head toward and to act in line with them. That way you'll achieve things, and your achievements will keep growing and will last.

    Success. No fault. Constancy is favorable. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
