The Tribe becomes Transition
What this change means
Five lines move, everything except the top, and wind over fire becomes fire over water: 64 Transition. When five lines change, the single still line of the resulting hexagram leads. It says you can have success and tangible results, you can relax, enjoy and share what you've achieved, but any excess will lead to loss. The resulting hexagram adds that things are coming together, yet some pieces haven't fallen into place, and mistakes tend to appear just after you get what you want. For a household that has worked hard to find its order, this is a moment to celebrate without dropping its guard. Enjoy the results together, but in moderation. Keep the roles and the honesty that got you here, and watch for the small loose ends. Not everything is finished yet.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 6 of 64 Transition, which stays still
You'll have success and tangible results. You can relax, have fun and share what you've achieved with others, but don't overdo it: any excess will lead to loss.
There is sincere trust in drinking wine. No fault. If the head gets wet, trust loses its measure.
- 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.
- Line 1 of 37 The Tribe
If the rules are clear and everyone does their part, there will be progress.
The house is fenced in. Regret vanishes.
- Line 2 of 37 The Tribe
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 3 of 37 The Tribe
Keeping discipline and doing your tasks matter if you want to reach your goals. If you take it too lightly, you'll run into trouble.
The household amid stern shouting: regret, danger, good fortune. Wife and children giggling: in the end, distress.
- Line 4 of 37 The Tribe
When you take care of your tasks and look out for everyone's benefit, without overdoing either spending or saving, you'll succeed.
Enriches the house. Great good fortune.
- Line 5 of 37 The Tribe
A balanced inner attitude will give you control over situations and help others make progress.
The king comes to his house. Do not worry. Good fortune.
- 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.
