The Tribe becomes After the End

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

At the top of the house, trust that commands respect: the sixth line, moving alone, describes a great power that makes you shine and leads shared undertakings to succeed. Its authority comes from sincerity, and in the end it brings good fortune. With the upper Wind turning to Water, the figure becomes 63 After the End, water standing above fire. The resulting hexagram adds a note of caution. Success may be passing: everything seems in your favor, and then a period of stagnation tends to follow. Preparing ahead of time can soften it. So use your influence well while it's strong. Lead shared projects with honesty, finish what you've started, and think about what comes after. The respect you earn now is real, but it's wise to plan for quieter, harder days beyond it.
