What this change means
Thunder takes the place of wind as the fourth, fifth and sixth lines move, and with fire below the figure becomes 55 Abundance. The two judgments carry equal weight. The Tribe asks for right relationships and for words that match deeds. The resulting hexagram describes a growth toward satisfaction and plenty that will last a while, and asks you to enjoy it, and when it wanes, to stay calm and keep your spirits up. Together they suggest a full season for the household. Enjoy it with the people you share it with. Keep the roles and the honesty that brought you here, because fullness can make people careless. And accept from the start that it won't last forever. When it ebbs, there's no need for sadness: what you've built together remains.
