What this change means
Thunder and wind, forces that keep each other going, appear as the top and first lines move. The top line leads, with heaven's own protection and nothing standing against you. The first line keeps that favor rooted: at the early stage of wealth, obstacles may arise, so stay on the straight path, act simply, and remember hardship is possible. The resulting hexagram is 32 What Lasts, which asks for action rather than stillness, clear goals, and steady effort that makes achievements grow and endure. Read together, good fortune is the beginning, not the end. Turn favorable conditions into something lasting by setting a clear direction and keeping to it. Simple, consistent conduct beats grand gestures here. Don't let ease make you careless at the start; it's the foundation on which lasting results are built.
