Great Manifestation becomes Passion
What this change means
The whole lower trigram turns, Heaven becoming Earth, and thunder now breaks out of the ground. With three lines moving, the two judgments carry equal weight. The starting one says you have what it takes for big projects and extraordinary results, provided you stay active, keep persevering, and let your thinking and acting move together. That harmony keeps you on what's right and makes achievements last. The resulting hexagram, 16 Passion, adds momentum. It's a time of strong drive toward action, a drive you can pass on to others to gain their help with large ventures. For those to succeed and endure, though, you can't look only after your own interests; the needs of the people working with you matter too. Use your strength to inspire, and keep the whole team in view.
