What this change means

Thunder bursts out of the earth as four lines move, and a settled success fills with fresh enthusiasm. The reading turns to the still lines of 16 Passion. Its second line says staying alert and reading the signs will tell you when to advance and when to withdraw. Its top line warns not to let passion blind you or burn out the interest itself; if that happens, recognize it and relax, and you'll succeed. The hexagram describes a drive that can carry others along, as long as you look after their needs too. After a completed crossing, new energy is welcome. Use it, but keep watching. Let the signs, not the excitement, decide your timing, and when the fire starts consuming more than it lights, ease off before it costs you.

What to read, in order

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

  1. Line 2 of 16 Passion, which stays still

    Staying alert and reading the signs around you will let you know when to advance and when to withdraw.

    Steady as stone. Not waiting for the day to end. Constancy brings good fortune.

  2. Line 6 of 16 Passion, which stays still

    It's important not to let passion blind you, or let it burn up the interest itself. If that happens, recognize the moment and relax: that way you'll succeed.

    Delight in the dark. What is done changes. No fault.

  3. The judgment of 63 After the End

    You're in a situation where you'll have a passing success: everything seems to be in your favor, and at the end comes a period of stagnation. If you prepare for it ahead of time, you'll be able to soften its effects.

    Success in small things. Constancy is favorable. At first, good fortune; in the end, disorder.

  4. Line 1 of 63 After the End

    If you try to move ahead too fast, you won't get results. But if you can stop and wait for better conditions, there will be achievements.

    Drags back on its wheels; wets its tail. No fault.

  5. Line 3 of 63 After the End

    If you want to expand right now, you'll have to use extreme measures to clear the obstacles in the way.

    The High Ancestor attacks the land of Guifang; in three years he conquers it. Do not employ the petty person.

  6. Line 4 of 63 After the End

    If you get careless during times of expansion, old unresolved matters may come to light. Stay alert so you can put them right.

    There are rags for the leaks in the boat; on guard all day long.

  7. Line 5 of 63 After the End

    If your actions come from the heart and are genuine, a small action can bring great results.

    The eastern neighbor slaughters an ox; it is not worth the simple offering of the western neighbor, who truly receives the blessing.

  8. The judgment of 16 Passion

    A time of passionate drive toward action. You can pass this passion on to others to gain their help, which lets you take on big projects with resolve and optimism. For these ventures to succeed and last, you can't look after only your own interests; you also need to keep in mind the needs of the people working with you.

    It is favorable to install lords and set the army in motion.
