Gathering with Equals becomes Attraction
What this change means
A lake settles on a mountain as the first and top lines move, the outer edges of the community. The top line leads: from the outskirts, without regret, you're well placed to reach agreements with many different people. The first line, at the gate, asks that what you do together be done openly. The resulting hexagram is 31 Attraction, which says results come as far as you stay open and receptive, letting people approach who will support you without self-interest. These fit naturally. Stay at the edges where many paths cross, keep nothing hidden, and leave space for others to come toward you. You don't need to chase or persuade. An open, uncluttered attitude, empty of agendas, is what draws the right people in, and what keeps the bonds formed this way honest and light.
