What this change means
The second line moves, and the lower Fire becomes Heaven: the flame now rests on a strong base, fire shining above heaven. This is the line of yellow radiance, the color of the center, and it's among the most favorable in the book. It says that perseverance and a real connection with what's right, as you follow your inner guidance, bring achievement and brilliance. The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, describes abundance both inner and outer. It also asks that you keep your character centered and cultivate generosity and good deeds, so the wealth lasts and reaches other people. So this movement is a good one, but it depends on the same thing at every step: staying in the middle, steady and honest. Don't let success make you careless or closed. Keep following that inner sense of what's right, and share what comes from it.
