Attraction becomes Wealth

Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Fire shines above Heaven when four lines change, the first, second, fifth and top, and Attraction becomes 14 Wealth: a time of abundance, inner and outer. To make it last and reach others, you're asked to keep your character centered and cultivate generosity. With four lines moving, the guidance comes from the resulting hexagram's two still lines. The third warns that greed, or using wealth only for yourself, brings difficulty and loss, while generosity opens new possibilities. The fourth asks you not to let envy get the better of you: look at what you have and be grateful. That brings you back to Attraction, which welcomes people without self-interest. So share freely, don't measure yourself against others, and let gratitude rather than comparison shape how you use what you've received.

What to read, in order

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

    Greed, or using wealth only for your own benefit, will bring difficulties and loss. Generosity opens new possibilities.

  2. Line 4 of 14 Wealth, which stays still

    It's important not to let envy get the better of you: look at the wealth you have and be grateful for it.

    It does not flaunt its abundance. No fault.

  3. The judgment of 31 Attraction
