Wealth becomes Innocence

What this change means

Thunder rolls under heaven as three lines move, and everything is asked to be what it truly is. The judgment of 14 Wealth asks that your prosperity be anchored in good character and flow outward to others. The judgment of 25 Innocence says that acting with a pure heart, without hidden motives and without straying from what's right, lets the blessings of heaven reach you. In balance, the question is the intention behind your prosperity. Are you giving to be seen, or helping with a quiet calculation in mind? Clean motives matter more now than clever strategy. Act simply and honestly, in line with your own nature. Where hidden aims creep in, obstacles tend to follow. Kept free of falseness, what you have can stay a blessing rather than a burden, for you and for the people it touches.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. 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.

  2. The judgment of 25 Innocence

    If you act with a pure heart, free of hidden motives and without straying from what is right, true to original human nature, you'll let the blessings of heaven reach you. Otherwise you'll meet obstacles and your affairs will become difficult.

    Great success. Constancy is favorable. If it is not upright, there is calamity. It is not favorable to have somewhere to go.

  3. 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.

  4. Line 3 of 14 Wealth

    Greed, or using wealth only for your own benefit, will bring difficulties and loss. Generosity opens new possibilities.

    The prince makes offerings to the Son of Heaven. The petty person cannot.

  5. 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.
