What this change means
When the third and fifth lines move, heaven and earth come together, and the result is 11 Well-Being. The fifth line leads with sweet measure: when you live by the same limits you ask of others, things go well. The third line looks at the opposite risk: when you can't restrain yourself, trouble follows, but recognizing it and acting lets you get past it. One line shows a limit lived generously, the other an excess put right. Together they open onto harmony. A period of well-being and understanding is coming. People and situations that weren't good for you move away, and supportive ones come closer. Enjoy it. Just don't let the ease erase the measure that made it possible. Keep the fair, shared limits, and correct any slide into excess as soon as you notice it.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- Line 5 of 60 Thrift
Accept the restrictions of the moment for yourself too, not only for others; this will lead you to success.
Sweet measure. Good fortune. Going earns esteem.
- 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.
- 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 11 Well-Being
A period of well-being, harmony and understanding is coming, and you can enjoy it. People and situations that weren't good for you are moving away, and in their place come people and situations that bring blessings and support. Heaven grants its gifts.
The small goes, the great comes. Good fortune. Success.
