What this change means
Wind rises from a fire, the image of a household: the second, third and top lines move, and 60 Thrift becomes 37 The Tribe. Both judgments matter equally. The first is about being ready: keep your strength and means in reserve so that what lies ahead finds you prepared, without letting that restraint turn sour. The second is about right relationships, with each person in their proper place, fully carrying out their role, and words that match actions. Measure here moves into the shared space of a family, a team or a home. Clear roles are a kind of limit, and they help everyone. Say what you'll do and do it; that's where trust comes from. If you ask others to be careful with resources, be careful yourself. Consistency keeps the household together.
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 60 Thrift
It's a time to conserve your time, energy and resources so you're ready for what lies ahead. If you do, when challenges arrive you'll be prepared and will overcome them easily.
Success. Bitter measure cannot be kept up with constancy.
- The judgment of 37 The Tribe
Right relationships, with everyone in their proper place and fully carrying out their role, will move things forward and make success last. Your words need to match your actions so they come across as genuine.
The constancy of the woman is favorable.
- Line 2 of 60 Thrift
When it's time to move forward, hurry: hesitating without acting will bring trouble.
Does not leave the courtyard inside the gate. Misfortune.
- Line 3 of 60 Thrift
When you can't hold yourself back and set limits, you bring on trouble. If you recognize it and do something about it, you'll get past the obstacles.
One without measure will sigh afterward. No fault.
- Line 6 of 60 Thrift
There are times when restrictions that seem extreme are called for. This is an exceptional time and it needs that kind of behavior, but don't keep it up too long.
Bitter measure. Even with constancy, misfortune. Regret vanishes.
