Inner Peace becomes Lack of Firmness
What this change means
Wind blows under heaven as the first, third and top lines move, the lower Lake becoming Wind and the upper becoming Heaven. The judgments of both hexagrams have equal say. The starting hexagram describes a calm, inner peace that makes great things possible, as long as you keep your goals in sight instead of sliding into inertia. The resulting hexagram, 44 Lack of Firmness, describes unsuitable people or situations around you that you think you can control and don't take very seriously; it may even be a bad habit. Without attention and firm limits, they'll take control of you. Together they warn against complacency. Peace can make you too relaxed about what's creeping in. Look honestly at what you're tolerating, and set the limits now, while you still can.
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 44 Lack of Firmness
You're surrounded by unsuitable people or situations. You know it, but you think you have the power to control them and don't take them very seriously; it may even be a bad habit. If you don't pay attention and set firm limits, they'll take control over you and you won't be able to pull away.
The woman is strong. Do not take her as a wife.
- 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 6 of 58 Inner Peace
If you haven't developed real inner peace, you're easy prey for shallow entertainments, which will win you over bit by bit until you lose yourself in them. Now you're only in the hands of fate; you have no control.
Joy that draws on.
