What this change means
Fire above Heaven: the first, fourth and top lines move, and the climb opens onto plenty. Both judgments count. Going Up says the rise is the fruit of steady work and that a meeting with someone important will help. The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, describes abundance, inner and outer, and asks you to stay centered and cultivate good deeds and generosity so the wealth lasts and reaches others. So your rise is likely to bring real gains. Enjoy them, and use them well. Keep your character steady instead of letting success inflate it. Give back, help where you can, and remember the people who made the climb possible. Stay grounded, and let your gratitude show. Wealth that circulates tends to endure; wealth that's hoarded tends to cloud the one who holds it.
