What this change means
Light comes out over the earth: five lines move, leaving only the third still, and the result is 35 Advance. That single line holds the reading. It says you move forward together, with the support of others, who'll back you in the places where you find it hard to advance. That's a welcome turn after a season of holding back. A time of growth is coming, with help and favor from important people. If you need something, ask: doors can open. You don't have to be strong in every area. Others can carry you where you struggle, and accepting that is its own form of good measure. Let them. Give your support in return, since this is also a time to contribute to others' growth. Advance together, and the gains tend to last.
