Transformation · lines 2 and 5
Gathering with Equals becomes Wealth
What this change means
The fifth line leads this change, and it carries a promise earned through feeling: differences that looked impassable give way to patience and goodwill, and the cries turn to laughter. The second line underlines what would spoil it: binding yourself to a closed clan that shuts others out. With Fire below turning to Heaven and Heaven above turning to Fire, you arrive at 14 Wealth, a time of abundance both inner and outer. The reconciliation and the openness together are what make that abundance possible. Keep it from narrowing into private gain. Stay centered in your character, keep doing good where you can, and let what you have reach beyond your own circle. Plenty that's shared widely tends to last, while plenty hoarded by a few repeats the very exclusion this movement asks you to leave behind.
