What this change means
Only the third line holds while the rest move, and the figure becomes Water above the Lake: a lake holding exactly what it can. In the resulting hexagram, 60 Thrift, that unmoving third line warns that when you can't hold yourself back or set limits, you bring trouble on yourself; if you recognize this and do something about it, you can get past the obstacles. From Advance, a time of plenty, the warning is about excess. Good conditions make it easy to spend time, energy and resources freely. Conserve them now so you're ready for what's ahead. Set limits on yourself before circumstances set them for you. Watch for saying yes to everything just because doors open. Measure keeps the advance going.
What to read, in order

- Line 3 of 60 Thrift, which stays still
When you can't hold yourself back and set limits, you bring on trouble. If you recognize it and do something about it, you'll get past the obstacles.
One without measure will sigh afterward. No fault.
- 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.

- Line 1 of 35 Advance
If you don't get the help you need, don't keep looking for it in that place. Open yourself to other possibilities that will come your way.
Advancing, and pushed back. Constancy brings good fortune. If there is no trust, stay easy: no fault.
- Line 2 of 35 Advance
Even if at first you don't get help from the person you asked, don't be sad. Stay open and keep at it, and that same person will give you the help you need and deserve.

- Line 5 of 35 Advance
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.
- Line 6 of 35 Advance

- The judgment of 60 Thrift
It's a time to conserve your time, energy and resources so you're ready for what lies ahead. If you do, when challenges arrive you'll be prepared and will overcome them easily.
