Abundance becomes Great Manifestation
What this change means
Fire at the base of Abundance becomes Heaven, and the second line moves alone. You're resolved, conditions favor what you want, and still the wrong people are standing in your way. The old text pictures a heavy awning that darkens noon so much that stars show; pushing ahead under that shadow invites suspicion. What carries you through is sincerity that keeps showing itself over time. Keep doing what's right and don't let anyone pull you off course. The resulting hexagram, 34 Great Manifestation, says you have the strength for big projects and extraordinary results, as long as you stay active, keep persevering, and let your thinking and your actions agree. That strength is the point to watch: use it to hold steady on what's right, not to shove the obstacles aside. Patient integrity, not force, is what clears the shade here.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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.
- 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.
- The judgment of 34 Great Manifestation
You have what it takes to carry out big projects and achieve extraordinary things. Still, you need to stay active and keep persevering. Thinking and acting in harmony will keep you holding to what is right and will make your achievements last.
Constancy is favorable.
