What this change means

Fire shines high above heaven: when the third, fourth and fifth lines move, 61 Inner Integrity becomes 14 Wealth. The judgments share equal weight. One is about substance: an inner integrity solid enough to lift others along with you. The other speaks of a time of abundance and prosperity, inner and outer, and of the need to keep your character centered and keep cultivating good deeds and generosity so the wealth lasts and reaches others. The thread is clear: inner wealth and outer wealth support each other. What you've built honestly can now bear fruit. Enjoy it. But don't let plenty loosen your integrity. Stay the same person you were when you had less. Share generously, choose your companions well, and the abundance tends to keep flowing.
