What this change means
The first, third and fourth lines move, so Fire comes down to the lower trigram and Mountain rises above it: fire at the foot of the hill, lighting its surface. The broad advance of the starting hexagram, with its help from important people and its recognized talents, meets 22 Good Manners, a time for kindness, courtesy and care in everyday dealings. Weigh the two together. Your progress is real, but it's carried now by the way you treat people rather than by great undertakings. What might look superficial at another moment, a gracious word, a thoughtful gesture, is what makes the doors open. Keep your ambitions to ordinary matters for a while and handle them well. Watch for the temptation to launch something big on the strength of your recent momentum; it suits this movement better to polish what's in front of you.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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 22 Good Manners
It's a time to be kind and courteous and to use good manners with others if you want good results in what you undertake. What might seem superficial at another time leads you to success now. It's a time to handle everyday matters, not great undertakings.
Success. In small things, it is favorable to have somewhere to go.
- 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 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 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.
