What this change means
Advancing with the horns: the top line moves, and the sun above the Earth becomes Thunder. Your progress has reached its furthest point, and it carries force. The line asks you to make sure that advance doesn't run over other people. Clearing obstacles from your path is fine; hurting anyone in the process isn't. Its old image says such force is fit only for correcting your own house, and that pressing it stubbornly brings distress. The resulting hexagram, 16 Passion, shows the energy behind this: a strong drive toward action that you can pass on to others to win their help for big projects. For those projects to succeed and last, you have to keep the needs of the people working with you in mind. Watch where your enthusiasm becomes pressure. Turn the edge inward, on your own habits, and point the drive outward.
