Advance becomes Wealth

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

All three lower lines move, and the whole of Earth becomes Heaven under the sun. The bottom half of your situation turns from yielding to strong. Advance speaks of a time of growth and achievement: help from important people, doors that open when you ask, talents that get recognized, and a duty to help others grow in turn. The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, carries that forward into abundance, both inner and outer. Weigh the two together and the message is about keeping what grows. Prosperity tends to last when your character stays centered and your generosity reaches past yourself. So ask for what you need without hesitation, accept the favor that comes, and then pass it along. Watch for the moment when success begins to feel like something you're owed; that is where abundance starts to narrow. Good deeds keep it wide.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. 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.
