Abundance becomes Inner Integrity
What this change means
Wind above the lake: only the bottom line stays still while the five above it change. That line of the resulting hexagram, 61 Inner Integrity, carries the reading. It warns that if behind your actions there's a wish to manipulate others, your intentions will come to light. The resulting hexagram adds that when you're whole within, it shows outside, and your truth can move people toward great undertakings. Coming from Abundance, the question is what lies under the fullness. Check your motives honestly. Influence gained through sincerity holds; influence gained through maneuvering tends to be exposed. Let what you do match what you mean. Then the trust you inspire becomes the real source of your strength. No strategy can replace it.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 1 of 61 Inner Integrity, which stays still
If behind what you do there's a wish to manipulate others, your intentions will be exposed.
Being ready: good fortune. If there is something else, no ease.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Line 4 of 55 Abundance

Full is the awning: at noon the Dipper is seen. Meets the lord who is its like. Good fortune.
- Line 5 of 55 Abundance
You're willing to listen to advice and act on it; this will make difficult situations give way naturally.
Brilliance comes; there is blessing and renown. Good fortune.
- Line 6 of 55 Abundance
Your pride may get in the way of what you want and delay your success.
Full is the house, the home screened over. Peering through the door: silence, no one there. For three years no one is seen. Misfortune.
- The judgment of 61 Inner Integrity
When you're whole within, it shows on the outside, and you'll be able to do great things and to let your truth move others toward great undertakings.
Piglets and fish: good fortune. It is favorable to cross the great river. Constancy is favorable.
