What this change means

Earth now rests above the lake, the reverse of where Meeting began, and four lines move. The weight falls on the third and top lines of the resulting hexagram, 19 Fleeting Success, which don't change. The third warns that leaning too heavily on good conditions breeds inertia and loss, though reacting early lets you recover. The sixth says generosity in times of plenty, helping others improve, keeps success going. The resulting hexagram itself describes a lucky, prosperous spell that's limited in time. Coming out of a gathering, this means your circle is strong and things are flowing. Don't coast. Use the good period to build, share and prepare, because conditions will change. Watch for early signs of decline and respond before they grow. Be generous with the people around you; what you give now is what softens the change when the good spell ends.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 3 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still

    Relying too much on favorable situations will lead you to inertia and loss. If you react early, you can recover.

    Drawing near with sweetness. Nothing is favorable. Once grieved by it, no fault.

  2. Line 6 of 19 Fleeting Success, which stays still

    Being generous in times of power and plenty, helping others improve, will keep your success going.

    Drawing near with generosity. Good fortune, no fault.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Line 4 of 45 Meeting

    When you act without selfish aims and on behalf of someone above you, you're rewarded.

    Great good fortune. No fault.

  7. 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.

  8. The judgment of 19 Fleeting Success

    A period of luck, fortune and well-being is coming. Make the most of it, because it will last only eight months; after that, conditions will change. If you can pay attention, read the signs and take care and precautions before the decline arrives, you won't avoid it, but you will lessen its effects while circumstances change.

    Great success. Constancy is favorable. When the eighth month comes, misfortune.
