Gathering with Equals becomes Great Manifestation
What this change means
Thunder rolls above heaven as three lines move, and the fellowship gains real force. The judgment of 13 Gathering with Equals speaks of meeting your equals, trust, and large, inventive projects in the open. The judgment of 34 Great Manifestation says you have what it takes to achieve extraordinary things, provided you keep active and persevering and let thought and action move in harmony. Weighed together, the group has strength, and the question is how to use it well. Don't let power become pushiness. Keep every step consistent with what's right, so that the strength serves the shared goal rather than anyone's ego. Keep working steadily; force that rests soon fades. Used with integrity, this momentum can carry big projects to lasting results.
