Inner Integrity becomes Inner Peace

What this change means

Two lakes side by side: the fourth and top lines move, the Wind above becomes Lake, and the result is 58 Inner Peace. The top line leads. A strength that's only in words won't gather the people you need. The fourth line offers the remedy: lean on spiritual forces to strengthen your integrity, and keep your face turned toward the goal. One line names the empty sound, the other the inner work. The resulting hexagram shows the fruit of that work: calm and inner peace that let you achieve great things, and time with people whose energy matches yours, which nourishes you. Talk less, practice more. Let your peace come from within rather than from what you announce. Keep your goals in view so the calm doesn't turn into inertia.
