What this change means
Wind below and Thunder above take the place of the two lakes as the first, third and fifth lines move, two forces that sustain each other. The judgments of both hexagrams carry equal weight. The starting one finds you serene and capable, helped along by people who share your energy, with the risk that serenity goes idle if it forgets what it's for. The resulting hexagram, 32 What Lasts, asks for action instead of stillness: clear goals and conduct that follows them, so your achievements grow and endure. The bridge between them is direction. Peace that knows where it's going lasts; peace without aims goes stale. Name what you're working toward, act in line with it, and stay on that course long enough to see it bear fruit.
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 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.
- The judgment of 32 What Lasts
This moment asks you for action, not stillness. It asks you to have clear goals to head toward and to act in line with them. That way you'll achieve things, and your achievements will keep growing and will last.
Success. No fault. Constancy is favorable. It is favorable to have somewhere to go.
- Line 1 of 58 Inner Peace
A state of calm and inner joy will help you stay centered and achieve what you want.
Joy in harmony. Good fortune.
- Line 3 of 58 Inner Peace
If you don't cultivate your inner strength and you let distractions carry you off, you may fall into addictions and drift from your purpose.
Joy that comes seeking. Misfortune.
- Line 5 of 58 Inner Peace
Contact with the wrong people can lead you into distraction and addiction. Once you realize it and put a stop to it, you'll get back on the path to inner peace.
Trusting what strips away: there is danger.
