Inner Integrity becomes The Tribe
What this change means
Wind comes out of fire, the image of a household: with the second and third lines moving, 61 Inner Integrity becomes 37 The Tribe. The third line leads. If you need others' approval to feel secure, you'll be tossed between joy and distress, unable to rest in what you've gained. The second line shows the healthy version: your integrity draws kindred people who answer and share generously with you. The difference between the two is where your center lies. The resulting hexagram turns to close relationships, where each person has a place and fully carries out their role, and where words need to match actions to ring true. In a family, a team or a circle of friends, don't look to others to confirm your worth. Take your place, do your part, and let your actions back up what you say.
