Transformation · line 4
Great Manifestation becomes Well-Being
What this change means
The fence gives way and nothing tangles: the fourth line is the moment when persistence breaks through. Adverse circumstances yield before your steadiness, and relying on your inner power, rather than outer force, lets you move toward great achievements. Regret falls away. The line's image is the axle of a great cart, strong where the load is heaviest. Thunder above becomes Earth, and the resulting hexagram, 11 Well-Being, describes what opens up: a time of harmony and understanding. People and situations that weren't good for you move away, and others arrive that bring support and blessings. You can enjoy this. The way through was steady pressure, not a sudden charge, and the same attitude will help you keep what comes. Trust your inner strength, keep moving at a sustainable pace, and welcome the good company that appears.
