Abundance becomes Gathering with Equals
What this change means
Heaven above Fire: the fifth and top lines move, and Thunder gives way to Heaven. The top line leads, warning that pride may get in the way and delay success; a full house closed to others ends up empty. The fifth offers the remedy, a willingness to listen to advice and act on it, so difficulties give way naturally. The resulting hexagram, 13 Gathering with Equals, describes meetings with people of a nature like yours, with whom you can carry out important projects. Trust and mutual support take shape, and large, innovative ventures are favored. So the cure for pride here is company. Step out of the closed house, listen to people who see as far as you do, and build something together. Relationships of trust can carry what pride would leave unfinished.
