晉 35 Advance 臨 19 Fleeting Success
Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Earth above the Lake: the first, second, fourth and top lines move. What the resulting hexagram, 19 Fleeting Success, keeps still, its third and fifth lines, is what to read. Its third line warns that leaning too much on favorable circumstances leads to inertia and loss, though reacting early lets you recover. Its fifth line says surrounding yourself with capable collaborators, respecting their work and encouraging their autonomy, brings a stable achievement. Starting from Advance, this is good fortune with a horizon: the good spell is limited in time. Make the most of it, but don't settle into it. Build the team and the habits that will hold once the conditions change. Watch for the comfort that makes you stop paying attention. Reading the signs early is what softens what comes after.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 3 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still

    Relying too much on favorable situations will lead you to inertia and loss. If you react early, you can recover.

    Drawing near with sweetness. Nothing is favorable. Once grieved by it, no fault.

  2. Line 5 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still

    Surrounding yourself with capable collaborators and respecting what they do, encouraging their autonomy, will bring you a stable achievement.

    Drawing near with wisdom: what befits the great ruler. Good fortune.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

    Advancing, and grieving. Constancy brings good fortune. This great blessing is received from their grandmother.

  6. Line 4 of 35 Advance

    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.

  7. Line 6 of 35 Advance

    Make sure your advance doesn't run over other people. It's fine to clear the obstacles from your path, but without hurting anyone.

    Advancing with the horns. Fit only for punishing one's own city. Danger, good fortune, no fault. Constancy brings distress.

  8. The judgment of 19 Fleeting Success

    A period of luck, fortune and well-being is coming. Make the most of it, because it will last only eight months; after that, conditions will change. If you can pay attention, read the signs and take care and precautions before the decline arrives, you won't avoid it, but you will lessen its effects while circumstances change.

    Great success. Constancy is favorable. When the eighth month comes, misfortune.
