Inner Integrity becomes Well-Being

Starting hexagram
Resulting hexagram

What this change means

Heaven and earth meet and mingle: with the third, fifth and top lines moving, inner trust becomes 11 Well-Being. The two judgments stand in balance. The starting one says that a center free of pretense makes itself felt, and draws others into worthwhile work. The resulting one announces a period of well-being, harmony and understanding: people and situations that weren't good for you move away, and others come who bring support. The relationship is cause and effect. Integrity creates the conditions for harmony; harmony makes integrity easier to live. Enjoy this time. Let go of what's leaving without regret, and welcome what's coming. Use the good season to strengthen the bonds that matter, and to share with others the support you're receiving.

What to read, in order

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

  1. The judgment of 61 Inner Integrity

    When you're whole within, it shows on the outside, and you'll be able to do great things and to let your truth move others toward great undertakings.

    Piglets and fish: good fortune. It is favorable to cross the great river. Constancy is favorable.

  2. 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.

  3. Line 3 of 61 Inner Integrity

    If your security rests on other people's approval and acceptance, you'll ride emotional ups and downs and won't fully enjoy what you gain.

  4. Line 5 of 61 Inner Integrity

    There is sincere trust, holding fast like links in a chain. No fault.

  5. Line 6 of 61 Inner Integrity

    If your inner strength rests only on words, you won't have the power to rally people that you need to reach your goals.

    A bird's cry climbs to heaven. Even with constancy, misfortune.
