Meeting becomes Great Achievements
What this change means
Every line moves, and the gathered lake over the earth becomes Heaven held within the mountain. With all six changing, the resulting hexagram, 26 Great Achievements, speaks for itself. It's a good moment to leave familiar ground and try new things, beyond what you believe you're capable of, because unusual steps are favored and you have the qualities they need. Coming from Meeting, everything you've gathered, the people, the support, the preparation, becomes stored power. The whole situation is turning over, and that's an invitation, not a threat. Use what you've accumulated. Learn from what has come before, then try something bolder than usual. Don't hold back out of habit or fear. The ground has been prepared, and the support is there; now it's time to build something larger on it.
