What this change means
A board on the calf's horns, before they can do harm: the fourth line of Great Achievements moves, and it speaks of foresight. Watch the circumstances, spot obstacles before they arise, prepare to overcome them, and you'll succeed. The upper Mountain turns into Fire, and the figure becomes 14 Wealth, fire above heaven, a time of abundance inside and out that asks for a centered character and generosity. The connection is prevention. Prosperity tends to last when problems are dealt with while they're still small. Look ahead and handle the early signs: a habit, a weak point, a risk you can see coming. Then share what you have. Good deeds and generosity keep wealth moving, and steady foresight keeps it safe. Hold back what's harmful early, and raise up what's good.
