Great Achievements becomes Well-Being

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

How wide the roads of heaven: the top line of Great Achievements moves, and everything is in your favor. Success is assured, the line says, and help comes from above. The Mountain at the top becomes Earth, and the figure turns into 11 Well-Being, heaven and earth joining. The resulting hexagram describes a period of harmony and understanding, with people and situations that weren't good for you moving away and supportive ones arriving in their place. This is the release of everything Great Achievements had been holding and storing. The restraint is over; the road is open. Walk it with gratitude rather than haste. Accept the help that comes, enjoy the good season, and use it to give shape to what you've prepared. When doors open this wide, the task is simply to go through them well.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. Line 6 of 26 Great Achievements

    Everything is in your favor right now; success is assured. You'll receive help from Heaven.

    How wide the roads of heaven. Success.

  2. The judgment of 26 Great Achievements

    It's a good moment to leave your comfort zone and take on new actions, beyond what you think you can do. Heaven favors unusual actions that will lead you to success, because you have the qualities needed.

    Constancy is favorable. Not eating at home brings good fortune. It is favorable to cross the great river.

  3. The judgment of 11 Well-Being

    A period of well-being, harmony and understanding is coming, and you can enjoy it. People and situations that weren't good for you are moving away, and in their place come people and situations that bring blessings and support. Heaven grants its gifts.

    The small goes, the great comes. Good fortune. Success.
