What this change means
Here the first and third lines move, and Earth becomes Fire under fire: light doubled, clarity everywhere. The third line leads. It tells you that you move forward together with others, who support you where your own steps falter, and that regret fades once that agreement is there. The first line adds a caution from the start of the road: if help doesn't come from one place, stop looking there and stay easy, since other openings will appear. Put together, you're asked to trade a lone, stubborn search for shared progress. The resulting hexagram, 30 The Flame, shows what that brings: a clear inner sense of where you're going and a generosity that shares your light, which tends to increase what you gain. Watch whether you're still clinging to a single source of support. The brightness here comes from the group and from your own clarity together.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 3 of 35 Advance
You move forward together, with the support of others, and they'll back you in the areas where you find it hard to advance.
All agree. Regret vanishes.
- 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.
- 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.
- The judgment of 30 The Flame
There's clarity in what you do: your inner self guides you toward your goals. A generous attitude helps you, one that leads you to share your light, and this will increase your gains and achievements.
Constancy is favorable. Success. Raising a cow brings good fortune.
