What this change means
A mountain under heaven: three lines move, and the shining figure of plenty turns toward withdrawal. 14 Wealth describes having much, inwardly and materially, and keeping it sound through steady character and open hands. The judgment of 33 Leaving Behind says that stepping back now isn't a loss; it can help you recover your strength and think the situation through. In balance, the wise use of your prosperity may be to let something go. Perhaps a commitment, an investment of energy, or a relationship isn't serving you. Retreating from it calmly, without bitterness, keeps your resources and your character intact. Hold the people who drain you at a distance, firmly but without contempt. What looks like loss can turn into gain when you release what's wrong for you and later resume in a better direction.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- The judgment of 14 Wealth
A time of abundance and prosperity, both inner and outer. It's important to keep your character centered and to cultivate good deeds and generosity, so that this wealth lasts and reaches others.
Great success.
- The judgment of 33 Leaving Behind
Leaving a path behind or stepping back right now isn't a bad thing. On the contrary, it will help you recover your strength and think carefully about the situation and how to set it right. Sometimes what looks like a loss turns into a gain, if you can let go of what isn't good for you and then pick up again in the right direction.
Success. In small things, constancy is favorable.
- Line 1 of 14 Wealth
It's the early stage of wealth, and obstacles may arise. If you stay on the straight path and act simply, you'll keep moving forward.
No dealings with what harms; not a fault. Mindful of hardship, no fault.
- Line 2 of 14 Wealth
Not only can you have wealth, you also have the capacity to enjoy it and to surround yourself with the right people to make it grow.
A great cart for carrying. There is somewhere to go. No fault.
- Line 5 of 14 Wealth
It's a time of wealth whose challenges aren't outside you but in falling into inertia or apathy. If you stay active and alert, you'll succeed.
Its sincere trust is shared, and it has majesty. Good fortune.
