What this change means
Only the top line stays still as five lines move, and Heaven rises under the earth. That still line of the resulting hexagram, 11 Well-Being, carries the reading. It warns that things may take a turn for the worse: pay attention to the first signs of decline, and don't insist on pressing ahead if they appear, or there will be loss. The resulting hexagram itself describes harmony and understanding, with good people and situations replacing those that didn't help you. Coming from Meeting, the gathering has borne fruit, and you can enjoy it. But the warning sits at the very top for a reason. Peak moments are where vigilance matters most. Enjoy the well-being you've reached together, and keep an eye on the edges. If something starts to slip, ease off rather than forcing your way on. Care at the summit protects everything below it.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
