What this change means

Heaven replaces the water above when the fourth and top lines move, and fire now reaches up toward it, a picture of people joining. The top line comes first: momentum is on your side, and stalling would put you in danger. The fourth line adds care: in an expanding time, carelessness lets old unresolved matters surface, so stay on guard, rags ready for the leaks. The resulting hexagram, 13 Gathering with Equals, describes meetings with people like you, with whom trust and mutual support grow and larger, innovative projects become possible. So the advance goes better in good company. Keep moving forward with others who share your values, and stay alert for old issues that could undermine the group. Mend them early, and the shared work can grow.
