What Lasts becomes The Tribe
What this change means
Wind comes out of Fire as five lines move, all but the third, and What Lasts becomes 37 The Tribe. Right relationships, with everyone in their place and carrying out their role, move things forward and make success last, and your words need to match your actions. Five lines move here, so the third line of the resulting hexagram, the only one at rest, gives the counsel. It says reaching your goals depends on discipline and on getting your tasks done, while treating them casually invites trouble. That's a natural extension of duration. Lasting results come from steady routines and clear responsibilities, not occasional bursts. Keep your commitments, do your share every day, and expect the same of those around you, with fairness. Order at home and at work is what lets the rest of your plans hold.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 3 of 37 The Tribe, which stays still
Keeping discipline and doing your tasks matter if you want to reach your goals. If you take it too lightly, you'll run into trouble.
The household amid stern shouting: regret, danger, good fortune. Wife and children giggling: in the end, distress.
- The judgment of 32 What Lasts
This moment asks you for action, not stillness. It asks you to have clear goals to head toward and to act in line with them. That way you'll achieve things, and your achievements will keep growing and will last.
Success. No fault. Constancy is favorable. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
- Line 1 of 32 What Lasts
Don't expect extraordinary achievements when you're only just starting to move in the right direction.
Digging deep into duration. Even with constancy, misfortune. Nothing is favorable.
- Line 2 of 32 What Lasts
Right now your enthusiasm and passion are greater than outside circumstances. Staying that way will gradually overcome the stillness and move you toward success.
Regret vanishes.
- Line 4 of 32 What Lasts

No game in the field.
- Line 5 of 32 What Lasts
Right now your achievements will depend on your ability to be bold and open yourself to new paths.
Making one's virtue last, with constancy. For the wife, good fortune; for the husband, misfortune.
- Line 6 of 32 What Lasts
If you're always acting without giving yourself time to reflect and rest, you'll end up exhausted and stuck.
Shaking duration. Misfortune.
- The judgment of 37 The Tribe
