What this change means
Everything moves but the second line, and thunder comes out of the earth: 16 Passion. That still line leads. It says if you stay watchful and read the signs, you'll sense when to move forward and when to pull back. The resulting hexagram itself describes a passionate drive toward action, one you can share with others to gain their help for big projects, as long as you keep their needs in mind and not only your own. For the household, this is a lively turn. Enthusiasm is available, and it can carry everyone. But watch the signs. Know when to push ahead and when to hold back. Include the people working with you, listen to what they need, and let the shared energy serve everyone. Passion without attention tends to burn out quickly.
