What this change means
Thunder and lightning come together as the top and second lines move. Leading is the top line, where blessing comes from above and every door seems open. The second describes what you have to work with: a great cart loaded and ready, the capacity to enjoy your means, and the right people to help them grow. The resulting hexagram is 55 Abundance, a period of fullness and satisfaction that lasts a while and then wanes. Read together, this is a peak. Enjoy it openly and share it with the people traveling with you. Put your resources to good use while the conditions are this kind. Keep in mind that every fullness has a season. When the peak passes, stay calm and cheerful rather than anxious, and appreciate what was achieved. Gratitude now makes the later ebb much easier to bear.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The judgment of 55 Abundance
You're growing toward a period of satisfaction and abundance. It will last for a while, and when it ends, stay calm, without sadness or worry. Enjoy it while it lasts, and when it wanes, keep your spirits up and enjoy what you've achieved.
Success. The king reaches it. Do not grieve: the noonday sun is fitting.
