What this change means
The fourth line, which leads here, holds abundance without making a show of it and refuses to let envy decide anything. Gratitude for what you have is its whole stance. The second line supports it with its loaded cart, its pleasure in what's owned, and its good company that helps it all increase. As the lower Heaven becomes Fire and the upper Fire becomes Mountain, you arrive at 22 Good Manners: courtesy and kindness bring good results, and attention to form, which might seem superficial at other times, counts now. These fit together easily. Wealth handled with modesty and grace wins goodwill, while wealth paraded tends to stir resentment. Take care of everyday matters well. Be warm and polite with the people around you, thank those who help, and keep any big new ventures for later. Graceful, ordinary dealings are the best use of what you have right now.
