Inner Peace becomes Wealth

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

The third, fifth and top lines move, and Heaven forms below with Fire above, a flame shining high in the sky. The two judgments count equally. Inner Peace is a time of ease and capable calm, strengthened by friends, that depends on remembering your goals. The resulting hexagram, 14 Wealth, describes abundance, inner and outer, and asks you to keep your character centered and practice good deeds and generosity so that the wealth lasts and reaches others. Together they ask what you'll do with plenty. Prosperity can feed the very distractions that erode inner peace. Watch whether abundance is making you careless about your aims. Stay grounded, give generously, and let what you have serve more than your own comfort.

What to read, in order

Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.

  1. 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.

  2. The judgment of 14 Wealth

    A time of abundance and prosperity, both inner and outer. It's important to keep your character centered and to cultivate good deeds and generosity, so that this wealth lasts and reaches others.

    Great success.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
