What this change means
Not flaunting what you have is the quiet strength of the fourth line. It warns against envy too: instead of comparing yourself with others, look at what's already yours and be grateful. That restraint, inward and outward, is the heart of this change, and it brings no fault. When the upper Fire becomes Mountain, the figure turns into 26 Great Achievements, heaven held within the mountain. Wealth that isn't spent on display is stored, and stored strength makes bold action possible. This is a good time to step beyond your comfort zone and attempt something bigger than you thought you could, because you have what's needed. Gratitude helps more than you might expect: it keeps your energy from leaking into envy or show. Gather what you've learned, keep your resources in reserve, and when you move, move with purpose toward something worthy of them.
