What this change means
Only the top line moves, and the Thunder above the Earth becomes Fire: light rising over the land. This is delight in the dark: an excitement so consuming that you've stopped seeing, or one that has used up the interest that once fed it. Yet it carries hope: what's been done can change, and there's no fault in changing it. Recognize the moment and relax, and things can turn out well. The resulting hexagram, 35 Advance, shows the turn. A time of growth and achievement is coming, with help and favors from important people, and doors opening when you ask. The shift from dark to light depends on letting go of the overheated pursuit. Step back from the excitement long enough to see clearly. Then ask for what you need, accept help, and help others grow in turn.
