Wealth becomes Gathering with Equals

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

The trigrams trade places, Heaven rising and Fire settling beneath it, as the second and fifth lines move. The fifth leads: in prosperity, the threat is apathy, and success comes from staying active, sharing trust sincerely and carrying yourself with dignity. The second supports it: a great cart loaded for a journey, the gift of enjoying what you own, and companions who can make it multiply. The resulting hexagram is 13 Gathering with Equals, a time to meet people of your own caliber and build something large together on trust. Read together, wealth now becomes shared work. Don't sit on what you have; put it in motion with partners who share your values and your energy. Choose them carefully, treat them as equals, and keep the dealings open. Trust given sincerely and kept alive with action can carry ambitious projects a long way.
