Great Manifestation becomes Advance
What this change means
Light comes up over the Earth as four lines move, and the unchanging fourth and fifth lines of 35 Advance carry the reading. The fourth warns that as you advance, piling up wealth or power only for yourself will block your progress. The fifth adds that advancing while contributing to others is a sign of greatness that keeps progress going, and that there's no reason to regret what you give along the way. Your strength is now opening into a time of growth and recognition. The question is what you'll do with it. Hoarding tends to stall you; sharing tends to carry you further. Accept help when it comes, ask for what you need, and make sure others rise with you. Generosity, here, is part of the momentum.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 4 of 35 Advance, which stays still
As you advance, it's important not to pile up wealth or power just for your own benefit, because that will block your progress.
Advancing like a field rat. Constancy is in danger.
- Line 5 of 35 Advance, which stays still
To advance and, as you do, to contribute to others is a sign of greatness, and it will keep your progress going. There's no reason to regret what you've given along the way.
Regret vanishes. Loss or gain: don't be troubled. Going brings good fortune. Nothing that is not favorable.
- The judgment of 34 Great Manifestation
You have what it takes to carry out big projects and achieve extraordinary things. Still, you need to stay active and keep persevering. Thinking and acting in harmony will keep you holding to what is right and will make your achievements last.
Constancy is favorable.
- Line 1 of 34 Great Manifestation
Despite your excellent qualities, some unfavorable situations still won't let you move forward. Don't push. Work through the obstacles one by one, and circumstances will give way in the end.
Strength in the toes. Setting out brings misfortune. There is sincere trust.
- Line 2 of 34 Great Manifestation
Circumstances are starting to open up and conditions keep getting better. Still, stay centered and keep persevering to get the results you want.
Constancy brings good fortune.
- Line 3 of 34 Great Manifestation
If you show off your power and your achievements right now, you'll draw hostile looks and bad situations your way.
The petty person uses strength; the noble person does not. Constancy is in danger. A ram butts the fence and tangles its horns.
- Line 6 of 34 Great Manifestation
If you push ahead without thinking and without taking in feedback, you reach a point that becomes a wall and blocks your way. Being aware of this before you go too far will let you change course.
A ram butts the fence: it can't go back, it can't go on. Nothing is favorable. Taking on the hardship: good fortune.
- The judgment of 35 Advance
A time of growth and achievement is coming, and you should make the most of it. You'll receive help and favors from important people. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask: doors will open for you. Your talents are recognized, and just as you receive help, it's also a time to contribute to the growth and betterment of others.
The lord of Kang is granted horses in great numbers; in a single day he is received three times.
