What this change means
The top line moves alone, and Thunder above becomes a second Fire: brightness over brightness. This line holds the warning of Abundance. Pride may stand in the way of what you want and delay your success. The old image is a large house screened over, and when someone looks through the door, no one is there; a fullness closed off on itself ends up empty. The resulting hexagram, 30 The Flame, offers the opposite path. There's clarity in what you do, your inner self guides you, and a generous attitude that shares your light increases your gains. So open the doors. Let people in, share what you have and what you know, and drop the need to stand above others. Pride isolates; shared light grows. The more you shine for others rather than over them, the sooner the delay tends to lift.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- 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 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 30 The Flame
There's clarity in what you do: your inner self guides you toward your goals. A generous attitude helps you, one that leads you to share your light, and this will increase your gains and achievements.
Constancy is favorable. Success. Raising a cow brings good fortune.
