Wealth becomes Renewal

What this change means

Fire inside the lake: three lines move and the great possession has to shed its skin. 14 Wealth describes abundance inner and outer, kept alive by a centered character and generous deeds. 49 Renewal describes a time to open yourself to change, to weigh what still serves and what no longer does, and to let go of the outdated so the new can come. In balance, your prosperity is entering a new form. The ways you've been using or holding your resources may need rethinking. Don't cling to what's familiar because it once worked. Take each step at the right moment, not all at once. Keep the generous, centered core, and let the outer shell change. Renewal handled carefully can make your wealth fit the next season rather than the last.

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 49 Renewal

    You're in a time of renewal, like shedding a skin. Open yourself to change and to new ways of doing things. Success lies in taking each step at exactly the right moment, and in weighing what needs to change and what doesn't, what is no longer doing its job. Don't be afraid to let it go: you need to make room for the new to arrive.

    When the day has come, there is trust. Great success. Constancy is favorable. Regret vanishes.

  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 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.

  5. Line 6 of 14 Wealth

    Heaven grants you blessings; everything is favorable right now.

    Heaven itself protects it. Good fortune. Nothing that is not favorable.
