The Tribe becomes Inner Peace

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Lakes joined together take the place of the household when lines two, three, four and six move; the figure is 58 Inner Peace. The resulting hexagram's still lines lead. The first says calm and quiet joy keep you centered and help you get where you're going. The fifth warns that contact with the wrong people can pull you into distraction or addiction, and that once you see it and stop, you'll return to the path of peace. The resulting hexagram itself speaks of a time of inner calm, nourished by people whose energy matches yours, as long as you keep your goals in sight. Choose your company with care. Protect the household's calm by noticing who and what disturbs it. Joy is a good guide here, but only when it keeps you pointed somewhere.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. Line 1 of 58 Inner Peace, which stays still

    A state of calm and inner joy will help you stay centered and achieve what you want.

    Joy in harmony. Good fortune.

  2. Line 5 of 58 Inner Peace, which stays still

    Contact with the wrong people can lead you into distraction and addiction. Once you realize it and put a stop to it, you'll get back on the path to inner peace.

    Trusting what strips away: there is danger.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Line 6 of 37 The Tribe

    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.

  8. The judgment of 58 Inner Peace

    You're in a time of calm and inner peace that lets you achieve great things. Spending time with people whose energy is like yours will nourish and recharge you to reach your aims. Still, don't lose sight of your goals, or you'll slide into inertia.

    Success. Constancy is favorable.
