What this change means
Within the earth a tree is sprouting: three lines move and plenty begins to rise. The starting judgment, 14 Wealth, ties lasting prosperity to holding back what's harmful and raising up what's good. The judgment of 46 Going Up speaks of a rising time that grows out of dedicated work, and of the value of seeking help from an important person, without fear of that meeting. In balance, your resources and your efforts are lifting you. Keep working steadily; this rise rests on what you've already done. If someone in a position to help could open a door, approach them openly. Pile up small, consistent actions rather than leaping. Let your generosity grow along with your position, so the ascent includes others. Everything favors climbing now, step by step.
