What this change means
Heaven doubled: four lines move, the lower trigram and the top line, and the gathering turns into pure creative force. What speaks now are the fourth and fifth lines of the resulting hexagram, 1 Activity, the ones that don't move. The fourth says it's time to decide whether to keep moving forward or stop. The fifth says your undertakings tend to go well, and that help comes if you ask for it. The resulting hexagram itself speaks of new beginnings and of the qualities needed to carry a project through. Coming from Meeting, the support you've gathered becomes energy for action. But the choice is yours to make, and to make clearly. Weigh whether this is the moment to go on. If it is, commit, and don't hesitate to ask the people around you for help. A clear decision backed by a willing group is exactly what this movement favors.
