What this change means
Heaven and earth come together as lines two, five and six move: Fire becomes Heaven below, Wind becomes Earth above, and the figure is 11 Well-Being. Both judgments carry the reading. The Tribe looks for people who know their roles and fill them, and for words that hold up. The resulting hexagram describes a period of harmony and understanding, when people and situations that weren't good for you move away and supportive ones arrive. The two reinforce each other. A household in good order is ready to receive this kind of season, and the season, in turn, rewards that order. Enjoy it. Strengthen the bonds while things are easy, give each person the space to thrive, and keep your word. Good times last longer in a house where relationships are honest and roles are clear.
