What this change means
Lake over Lake is the figure that forms when the second, third and fifth lines move. With three lines changing, two judgments sit in balance. From Abundance comes the reminder that plenty is for enjoying, and that its ebb asks for a steady heart. The resulting hexagram, 58 Inner Peace, describes calm and inner peace that let you achieve great things. Time with people whose energy is like yours can recharge you, as long as you don't lose sight of your goals and slide into inertia. The movement goes from outer splendor to inner contentment. That's a good change, with one risk. Satisfaction can soften your aim. Enjoy the company and the calm, and keep a clear goal in front of you so the rest feeds your effort instead of replacing it.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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 58 Inner Peace
You're in a time of calm and inner peace that lets you achieve great things. Spending time with people whose energy is like yours will nourish and recharge you to reach your aims. Still, don't lose sight of your goals, or you'll slide into inertia.
Success. Constancy is favorable.
- 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 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.
