Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Wind above the lake replaces lake above earth as four lines change. Read the third and fifth lines of the resulting hexagram, 61 Inner Integrity, since those stay still. The third warns that if your security rests on other people's approval, your moods will swing with theirs and you won't fully enjoy your gains. The fifth speaks of an inner strength that draws others toward shared well-being and shared goals. Coming from Meeting, this is a question of where your center lies. You've been gathering people, and that's good. But don't let your sense of worth depend on whether they accept you. Root it in yourself. That steadiness is exactly what makes you someone people want to gather around. The resulting hexagram adds that being whole within shows on the outside, and that your truth can move others toward great undertakings.

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 61 Inner Integrity, which stays still

  2. Line 5 of 61 Inner Integrity, which stays still
