Going Up becomes Gathering with Equals
What this change means
Heaven together with fire: five lines move, and only the third stays still, a line of the resulting hexagram, 13 Gathering with Equals, that carries the reading. If you let distrust grow in your relationships and let people hide things from each other, your efforts will fail. The resulting hexagram itself describes meetings with people of a nature like yours, relationships built on trust and mutual support, and large, innovative projects favored. Coming from Going Up, the climb now hangs on the company you keep and the honesty within it. Build openly. Share information. Address suspicion early instead of letting it fester. Be the one who says things plainly. With trust intact, the group can carry big work forward; without it, even good plans fall apart.
