  Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon

Xùn-Gěn, Wind-Mountain
trigram Wind     Mountain

  When Xùn meets Gěn, the elusiveness of Wind acquires reality and permanence. Wind gives direction and fills the sails, but with Mountain’s support it becomes durable. Gěn has a solid presence and a connection with Earth and her seasons, which contributes the power to complete lasting results. The strength to climb high and attain goals, but thanks to Wind also to relax and enjoy the view.
  Xùn and Gěn together from an unstoppable power, they move on and on, like storm in the mountains. It is the flow of life itself, of creatures following their destiny. The flow from the source of creation through the challenges of life to the depths of the oceans.

This is the short answer - click for the complete one.

The initiative

The top line (Heaven-line) shows the change of the focus or initiative.

   The top line is stationary yang. A yang initiative, entering a yang world, fits right in. Both clear and inspiring, full of plans. Even when other things change, you will remain giving, pouring ideas, efforts or money into this situation. Yang brings and spreads creativity and ideas with a good basic structure, It is the master of good timing and planning, but not of finding a final solution or concrete results.
  Stay within limits, Yang is also prone to deplete itself. It is relentless, and it can focus so intensely on mental images that they can turn into air castles or delusions. Yin is necessary for concrete results but not before the planning is right, too early can be disastrous, no matter the quality of your ideas or how determined you are.

Yang has the talent to enjoy the road
before reaching any destination.

The subject

The bottom line (Earth-line) shows the change of the field or subject.

  The Earth-line is unchanging yin. This line is the subject, or the ‘field’ where you pour in or find both the cause and the means for your initiative: space, material, helpers or other people, resources and realization, even food for thought. It is a 'receiving' line, the earth needs input and resources to make things grow and bring concrete results.
  Your subject or project will stay attractive, but it will continue to absorb and process and use it to continue the work. It will not shine on its own or show increase to the outside, the work of building up happens in the background.

Beauty comes from the space within.

The outcome

trigram Wind     Mountain
The middle line (Man-line) shows the outcome.

  变中爻为艮, 风势入山. 动摇山岳. 令命上行, 人多敬畏。
When Xùn's middle line changes it activates Gěn. The wind penetrates the mountains and agitates their lofty heights; the destiny of life goes up, this person gets a lot of awe.

  Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper. For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
  For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
  Active lines are the helpers to change things. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.
  Advice for the initiative: Kan, Water, with his direction and focus, his courage to take risks and his talent to give things shape, is lacking here or not needed. Yang remains Yang.
  Advice for the subject: Xun, Wind, with her power to choose and influence, is lacking here or not needed. Yin remains Yin.
  Advice for the outcome: Gen, Mountain with his constancy, his ability to make things endure.
  But when things are not satisfying, it might be that one or more helpers don't help enough - or try too hard. Or maybe you don't listen carefully enough.
