What this change means

Four lines move, from the bottom up through the fourth, and Fire under Thunder becomes Water under Earth. So much shifts that the guidance comes from what holds firm: the fifth and sixth lines of 7 The Army, which don't move. The fifth advises choosing the situations you're able to face, which keeps you out of pointless fights. The sixth points to real results, but asks you to be careful about whom you surround yourself with. Coming out of Abundance, a full season that eventually wanes, the call is for discipline and organization. Say clearly what you want without trying to impose it. Pick your battles; not every challenge deserves an answer. And look hard at the people around you, because the right company will matter as much as the effort. Order and selectivity protect what the full time has given you.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 5 of 7 The Army, which stays still

    Choosing the situations you're able to face will keep you out of useless fights.

    There is game in the field. It is favorable to seize it. No fault. The eldest son leads the army; the younger son hauls corpses. Even with constancy, misfortune.

  2. Line 6 of 7 The Army, which stays still

    You'll get real achievements and results, but choose carefully who you surround yourself with right now.

    The great prince gives his command: founding states, conferring houses. Do not employ the petty person.

  3. The judgment of 55 Abundance

    You're growing toward a period of satisfaction and abundance. It will last for a while, and when it ends, stay calm, without sadness or worry. Enjoy it while it lasts, and when it wanes, keep your spirits up and enjoy what you've achieved.

    Success. The king reaches it. Do not grieve: the noonday sun is fitting.

  4. Line 1 of 55 Abundance

    It's a very favorable time, but it asks for determined, energetic action from you to make the results greater.

    Meets the lord who is its match. Even for ten days, no fault. Going earns esteem.

  5. Line 2 of 55 Abundance

    Although you're resolved and conditions are good for getting what you want, the wrong people are standing in your way. If you keep doing what's right and don't let yourself be pulled off course, you'll succeed.

    Full is the awning: at noon the Dipper is seen. Going earns suspicion and harm. If there is sincere trust that unfolds, good fortune.

  6. Line 3 of 55 Abundance

    If your spirits sink, any obstacle, however small, will stop you from reaching what you want.

    Full is the curtain: at noon the faint small stars are seen. The right arm is broken. No fault.

  7. Line 4 of 55 Abundance

    The shadows and obstacles that came up for a while are beginning to fade. If you act wisely and decisively, everything will go well.

    Full is the awning: at noon the Dipper is seen. Meets the lord who is its like. Good fortune.

  8. The judgment of 7 The Army

    Whatever your question, the favorable answer comes from acting with discipline and organization: face the situation head-on and speak clearly, say what you want, without trying to impose it.

    The constancy of a seasoned leader brings good fortune. No fault.
