Meeting becomes Great Manifestation

Starting hexagram

Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Thunder now stands above Heaven, the whole lower trigram turned to strength, and four lines move. The guidance comes from the two unmoving lines of the resulting hexagram, 34 Great Manifestation. The fourth promises that obstacles give way before persistence, and that relying on your inner power can take you toward great achievements. The sixth warns that pushing ahead without thinking, deaf to feedback, leads to a wall; noticing this in time lets you change course. Coming from Meeting, where support was gathered, this means you now have real force behind you. Use it, but with your eyes open. Keep going where the way gives, and listen to the people who gathered with you, especially when they tell you to slow down. Power that hears nothing ends up stuck against its own wall. Strength that pays attention can carry a shared project very far.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

Line 4 of 34 Great Manifestation, which stays still
Adverse circumstances give way before your persistence. If you rely on your inner power, you'll be able to move toward great achievements.

Constancy brings good fortune. Regret vanishes. The fence gives way, and nothing tangles. Strength in the axle of the great cart.
Line 6 of 34 Great Manifestation, which stays still
If you push ahead without thinking and without taking in feedback, you reach a point that becomes a wall and blocks your way. Being aware of this before you go too far will let you change course.

A ram butts the fence: it can't go back, it can't go on. Nothing is favorable. Taking on the hardship: good fortune.
The judgment of 45 Meeting
A very favorable situation is coming, with everything ready for you to take the next step toward your goals. You can ask for help and meet with those who will support you. It's a time to take on important things, do some kind of spiritual practice, and prepare in case anything unexpected happens.

Success. The king comes to his temple. It is favorable to see the great person. Success. Constancy is favorable. Offering large animals brings good fortune. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
Line 1 of 45 Meeting
You know you need to meet with people who will support you, but you're unsure whether to do it. If you finally make up your mind and act, you'll get help.

There is sincere trust, but not to the end: now disorder, now gathering. If you cry out, one clasp of the hand and laughter returns. Do not worry. Going: no fault.
Line 2 of 45 Meeting
Hidden networks are at work so that you meet like-minded people. Let circumstances guide you and connect with your inner self.

Being drawn in brings good fortune. No fault. If there is sincere trust, it is favorable to make the simple offering.
Line 3 of 45 Meeting
You're trying to meet with people who aren't willing. If you look for someone who can bring you closer to that group, you'll get help.

Gathering, sighing. Nothing is favorable. Going: no fault. Small distress.
Line 5 of 45 Meeting
You meet like-minded people, but also people who are somewhat wary of you. It's important to win their trust to reach your goals.

Gathering in one's place. No fault. Where there is no trust, a great and lasting constancy: regret vanishes.
The judgment of 34 Great Manifestation
You have what it takes to carry out big projects and achieve extraordinary things. Still, you need to stay active and keep persevering. Thinking and acting in harmony will keep you holding to what is right and will make your achievements last.

Constancy is favorable.
