What this change means
Rest is part of the return when the second line moves, and the old text calls it fortunate. The counsel here is about company: the people you keep close right now shape how the comeback goes, so choose them well. With the lower Thunder becoming Lake, the figure turns into 19 Fleeting Success, earth above the lake. A good spell can open, a period of luck and well-being, but it's limited in time, and conditions will shift afterward. That gives the second line extra weight. The right companions help you enjoy this stretch and also help you see the signs when it starts to turn. Make the most of the good period without assuming it will last. Take sensible precautions while things are easy, and the decline that follows, when it comes, can be softer.

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.

Great success. Constancy is favorable. When the eighth month comes, misfortune.
