Transition becomes Great Manifestation
What this change means
Three lines move, and thunder roars above heaven: the tentative crossing gains great strength. The judgments carry equal weight. The starting hexagram says the elements of success are gathering, yet a few are missing, and you need to stay alert against immature moves. The resulting hexagram, 34 Great Manifestation, says you have what it takes to carry out big projects, provided you stay active, keep persevering, and keep thinking and acting in harmony. The pairing is encouraging with a condition. Power is available, but power used carelessly is what causes the mistakes the starting situation fears. Keep your actions aligned with what's right and with what you truly intend. Persevere through the last details. Strength guided well will carry the project across.
What to read, in order
Marked ● is what Zhu Xi's tradition puts at the center for this number of moving lines.
- The judgment of 64 Transition
Things are coming together so that success can arrive and you can take on great projects, but some things still haven't fallen into place. So stay alert, so you don't make mistakes born of immaturity, or you'll drift from your goals. This can happen even after you've gotten what you want: you stop, you hesitate, and mistakes happen.
Success. The little fox has nearly crossed and wets its tail. Nothing is favorable.
- The judgment of 34 Great Manifestation
You have what it takes to carry out big projects and achieve extraordinary things. Still, you need to stay active and keep persevering. Thinking and acting in harmony will keep you holding to what is right and will make your achievements last.
Constancy is favorable.
- Line 1 of 64 Transition
If you rush for results instead of doing things step by step, you'll lose your way.
Wets its tail. Distress.
- Line 3 of 64 Transition
Acting hastily or trying to force things will lead to failure. Recognizing this and leaning on those who can help you will let you get back on course.
Before crossing, setting out brings misfortune. It is favorable to cross the great river.
- Line 6 of 64 Transition
You'll have success and tangible results. You can relax, have fun and share what you've achieved with others, but don't overdo it: any excess will lead to loss.
There is sincere trust in drinking wine. No fault. If the head gets wet, trust loses its measure.
