Inner Peace becomes Gathering with Equals
What this change means
The second, third and top lines move, and Fire forms below with Heaven above, a flame reaching toward the sky. Both judgments share the weight. The starting hexagram says calm and inner peace let you achieve great things, and that people whose energy matches yours nourish and recharge you, so long as your aims stay in view. The resulting hexagram, 13 Gathering with Equals, describes meetings with people of a high nature like yours, with whom important work becomes possible. Relationships built on trust and mutual support take shape, and large, innovative projects are favored. The two point in the same direction: good company. Seek out the people who lift you, not the ones who distract you, and build something ambitious together on that trust.
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 13 Gathering with Equals
It's a time of meetings with people of a high nature like yours, with whom you can carry out important tasks and projects. Relationships built on trust and mutual support take shape. Large, innovative projects are favored.
Community in the open country. Success. It is favorable to cross the great river. The constancy of the noble person is favorable.
- Line 2 of 58 Inner Peace
Take great care over whom you spend time with and what activities you choose, because if you let yourself be drawn into worldly things without cultivating your inner life, you'll stray from your goals.
Joy with trust. Good fortune. Regret vanishes.
- 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.
