Fleeting Success becomes Wealth
What this change means
Fire burns above heaven as lines three, four and six move, and the figure turns bright and full. The two judgments share the weight. 19 Fleeting Success foresees fortune and well-being for a limited time, and asks you to enjoy it attentively and prepare in time to lessen what comes after.
The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, describes abundance and prosperity, inner and outer. To make it last and to let it reach others, keep your character centered and cultivate good deeds and generosity. Together, these readings say that abundance is a responsibility as much as a gift. The season may be limited, but what you do with it isn't. Share, act well, and keep your balance. Watch for wealth pulling you off center, into showing off, carelessness or hoarding; those are the habits that make a fleeting season leave nothing behind.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- The judgment of 19 Fleeting Success
A period of luck, fortune and well-being is coming. Make the most of it, because it will last only eight months; after that, conditions will change. If you can pay attention, read the signs and take care and precautions before the decline arrives, you won't avoid it, but you will lessen its effects while circumstances change.
Great success. Constancy is favorable. When the eighth month comes, misfortune.
- 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.
