Inner Integrity becomes Meeting
What this change means
The lake rises over the earth, and people gather: four lines move, and inner trust becomes 45 Meeting. The still third and fifth lines speak to this change. The third says you're trying to meet with people who aren't willing; someone who can introduce you to that group would help. The fifth says you'll meet like-minded people, and also some who are wary of you, and it's important to win their trust to reach your goals. So the gathering is real but mixed. Not everyone will welcome you at first. Don't push in. Find a bridge, someone trusted on both sides. With the wary ones, be patient and consistent. Your integrity is the asset here, but it has to be shown over time, not announced. Small, reliable acts will do more than any argument.
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 45 Meeting, which stays still
