14. Wealth to 48. The Well

Changing lines

1. Line 1

   The first line, dynamic, shows that there is no approach to what is injurious, and there is no error. Let there be a realization of the difficulty and danger of the position, and there will be no error to the end. Line one, though dynamic, is at the lowest part of the figure, and has no correlate above. No external influences have as yet acted injuriously on him. Let him do as directed, and no hurtful influence will ever affect him.

2. Line 4

   The fourth line, dynamic, shows its subject keeping his great resources under restraint. There will be no error. The strength of line four is tempered by his position in a magnetic place. Hence he will do no injury to the mild ruler just above him.

3. Line 5

   The fifth line, magnetic, shows the sincerity of its subject reciprocated by that of all the others represented in the hexagram. Let her display a proper majesty, and there will be good fortune. Line five symbolizes the ruler. Mild sincerity is good in her, and influences her ministers and others. But a ruler must not be without an awe-inspiring majesty.

4. Line 6

   The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject with help accorded to him from Heaven. There will be good fortune, advantage in every respect. Even the topmost line takes its character from line five. His strength is still tempered, and heaven gives its approval.

The present judgment

Wealth means great progress and success.

The later judgment

Although a town site may be altered, The Well remains the same. Its water level neither disappears nor receives any great increase, and the people can draw from it freely. Misfortune ensues if the rope breaks or the bucket is broken before it reaches the water.

What the move asks

Cultivate inner abundance and sustain your resources through consistent, nourishing effort.
