What this change means
With the second line moving, the ground under the light becomes Water, and your advance carries a touch of sorrow. You asked someone for help and it didn't come at first. This line says not to take that as a final answer or let it sadden you. Stay open, keep at it with steady constancy, and the same person can end up giving you the support you need and deserve, the way a blessing comes from an elder who cares about you. The resulting hexagram, 64 Transition, shows why patience fits here: things are coming together, but not everything has fallen into place yet. Mistakes born of hurry or immaturity can pull you off course, even right after you get what you want. Keep watching the details, don't hesitate once the help arrives, and don't mistake a slow start for a closed door.
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 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.
- 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 64 Transition
Things are coming together so that success can arrive and you can take on great projects, but some things still haven't fallen into place. So stay alert, so you don't make mistakes born of immaturity, or you'll drift from your goals. This can happen even after you've gotten what you want: you stop, you hesitate, and mistakes happen.
Success. The little fox has nearly crossed and wets its tail. Nothing is favorable.
