What this change means
Wind coming out of fire, the shape of a household: Fire drops to the lower trigram and Wind rises above it as the first, third, fourth and fifth lines move. Of the resulting hexagram, 37 The Tribe, the second and top lines stay still, and they set the tone. The second says nothing here should be taken by force; settle into your rightful place and fulfill the duties entrusted to you. The top line speaks of a great power that can make you shine and lead shared undertakings to success. Coming from Advance, the arc is from personal progress to a role inside a group. You may be recognized and capable, but the way forward is through your place among others, faithfully filled. Watch for trying to seize what your role will give you anyway. Steadiness at home earns the brightness.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 2 of 37 The Tribe, which stays still
This is not the time to get anything by force. Take your proper place and carry out the duties you've been given.
Pursues nothing of their own: tends the food within. Constancy brings good fortune.
- Line 6 of 37 The Tribe, which stays still
You have great power that will make you shine and lead you to succeed in shared undertakings.
There is sincere trust, commanding awe. In the end, good fortune.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The judgment of 37 The Tribe
Right relationships, with everyone in their proper place and fully carrying out their role, will move things forward and make success last. Your words need to match your actions so they come across as genuine.
The constancy of the woman is favorable.
