Wealth becomes Success in Small Matters
What this change means
Thunder sounds over a mountain, not far above it: three lines move and the great possession scales down. On one side, 14 Wealth speaks of great success for anyone whose plenty is matched by kindness and a steady heart. On the other, 62 Success in Small Matters says this is a time for small achievements, and that going beyond your present means and resources will lead you astray. In balance, you have plenty, but the moment doesn't call for big gestures. Don't overextend, overinvest or promise more than you can deliver. Focus on modest goals and do them well. A little more care than usual, a little more frugality, will keep you in step with the moment. The larger plans can wait for their season; living within your means now protects what you have.
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 62 Success in Small Matters
This isn't a time for great things; it's a time for small achievements. Recognizing that will help you live in step with the moment. Trying to go beyond your present means and resources will lead you astray and waste your efforts.
Success. Constancy is favorable. Small things can be done, not great ones. The flying bird leaves its call behind: it is not fitting to rise, it is fitting to descend. Great good fortune.
- 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 6 of 14 Wealth
Heaven grants you blessings; everything is favorable right now.
Heaven itself protects it. Good fortune. Nothing that is not favorable.
