The Tribe becomes Fleeting Success
What this change means
Earth settles over the lake when four lines move, the second, third, fifth and sixth, and the figure becomes 19 Fleeting Success. The still lines lead. The first says that if you join with the right people, you'll have support when the decline comes. The fourth says joining with those under you and supporting them will help you stay stable. The resulting hexagram itself describes a period of luck and well-being that is limited in time; paying attention and taking precautions won't prevent the turn, but can lessen its effects. For the household, enjoy the good spell, and use it wisely. Strengthen your bonds now, especially with those who depend on you. Prepare reserves and alliances before you need them. A close, well-supported circle is what tends to carry you through when conditions change.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 1 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still
If you join with the right people, you'll have support and backing when the decline comes.
Drawing near together. Constancy brings good fortune.
- Line 4 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still
Joining with the people under you and supporting them will help you stay stable.
Drawing near all the way. No fault.
- 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 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 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.
- 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.
- The judgment of 19 Fleeting Success
A period of luck, fortune and well-being is coming. Make the most of it, because it will last only eight months; after that, conditions will change. If you can pay attention, read the signs and take care and precautions before the decline arrives, you won't avoid it, but you will lessen its effects while circumstances change.
Great success. Constancy is favorable. When the eighth month comes, misfortune.
