What this change means
The ram has charged the fence and can't go back or forward: the top line shows strength pushed past the point of usefulness. If you press on without thinking and without listening to feedback, you reach a wall that blocks you. Seeing this before you go too far lets you change course, and accepting the difficulty, rather than butting harder, is what turns it around. Thunder above becomes Fire, and the resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, shows what lies beyond the wall once you stop forcing: a time of abundance, inner and outer. To keep it, stay centered, cultivate generosity and good deeds, and let what you gain reach others. The turn is from insisting to listening. Step back, take in what others are telling you, and the way opens.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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 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.
- The judgment of 14 Wealth
A time of abundance and prosperity, both inner and outer. It's important to keep your character centered and to cultivate good deeds and generosity, so that this wealth lasts and reaches others.
Great success.
