What this change means

Light rises over the earth: four lines move, and inner trust becomes 35 Advance. The third and top lines, which stay still, carry the reading. The third says you move forward together with others' support, and they'll back you where you find it hard to advance. The top warns that your advance shouldn't run over anyone; clearing obstacles is fine, but without hurting people. So this is a time of growth, with help and favors available. Your integrity has earned support, and it's coming. Accept it gratefully where you're weak. And watch how you move forward. Success can make people careless of others. Clear your path with care, and treat those around you as partners, not obstacles. Advancing together keeps the trust that brought the support in the first place.

What to read, in order

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

If you need something, don't hesitate to ask: doors will open for you. Your talents are recognized, and just as you receive help, it's also a time to contribute to the growth and betterment of others.
