What this change means
Wind rises out of Fire, the warmth of a hearth: five lines move and only the second stays still. That unmoved line of 37 The Tribe says force won't get you anything now; settle into your rightful place and fulfill the tasks entrusted to you. It's the same line that, in Passion, stood steady as stone, the one alert enough to know when to advance and when to hold back. The hexagram as a whole speaks of right relationships, everyone in their place, and words that match actions. For an enthusiastic person, this means putting energy into your role rather than beyond it. Don't push for more than is yours. Do your part fully and reliably. A group moves forward when each member keeps their commitments.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 2 of 37 The Tribe, which stays still
This is not the time to get anything by force. Take your proper place and carry out the duties you've been given.
Pursues nothing of their own: tends the food within. Constancy brings good fortune.
- The judgment of 16 Passion
A time of passionate drive toward action. You can pass this passion on to others to gain their help, which lets you take on big projects with resolve and optimism. For these ventures to succeed and last, you can't look after only your own interests; you also need to keep in mind the needs of the people working with you.
It is favorable to install lords and set the army in motion.
- Line 1 of 16 Passion
Your ventures need to consider the well-being of others; otherwise they won't succeed.
Delight that makes itself heard. Misfortune.
- Line 3 of 16 Passion
Success lies in knowing how to act at the right moment.
Delight that looks upward: regret. Delay brings regret.
- Line 4 of 16 Passion
When you're passionate and motivated enough about what you do, you don't need to ask anyone for help: help will come naturally.

- Line 5 of 16 Passion
If your passion for doing something comes with anxiety and you don't give yourself time to rest and recharge, your achievements will have ups and downs.

- Line 6 of 16 Passion
It's important not to let passion blind you, or let it burn up the interest itself. If that happens, recognize the moment and relax: that way you'll succeed.
Delight in the dark. What is done changes. No fault.
- The judgment of 37 The Tribe
Right relationships, with everyone in their proper place and fully carrying out their role, will move things forward and make success last. Your words need to match your actions so they come across as genuine.
