What this change means
Fire above Heaven: five lines move, and the one still line, the fourth of the resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, carries the reading. Don't let envy rule you; notice the wealth already in your hands and be thankful for it. The resulting hexagram describes abundance, inner and outer, and asks you to stay centered and practice generosity so that it lasts and reaches others. Coming from Meeting, the gathering has made you rich in some way, perhaps in people, perhaps in resources. The danger is comparison: looking at what others have and feeling poor. Turn your attention back to what's yours. Gratitude keeps you steady; generosity keeps the abundance moving. Share with the people who helped bring it about, and resist the pull to measure yourself against them. What you hold is enough to do real good.
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 14 Wealth, which stays still
It's important not to let envy get the better of you: look at the wealth you have and be grateful for it.
It does not flaunt its abundance. No fault.
- 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.
- Line 6 of 45 Meeting
You're trying to join someone who doesn't want to join you. Letting your sorrow show may make them reconsider, and you'll get what you want.
Sighs and laments, tears and a running nose. No fault.
- The judgment of 14 Wealth
A time of abundance and prosperity, both inner and outer. It's important to keep your character centered and to cultivate good deeds and generosity, so that this wealth lasts and reaches others.
Great success.
