When Qián activates Kūn, the result is huge. It takes a lot of time with or without any end. But this might be the most important meaning of this change: the work of dealing with life, its ups and downs, its possibilities, and more importantly, its impossibilities and setbacks. Also the tough work of refusing when necessary or acceptance of the impossible. It is the hard part of the marriage vow: in health is much easier than in sickness. It is the big neverending work of growing a character, a soul, a strong mind and body, a relation, a vision - until death do us part.
It is the struggle for survival and finding happiness in a severe world. "Yes" depends on your inner no, but saying "no" usually asks for more courage and discernment.
This is the short answer - click for the complete one (with 'your' helpers).
About the 3 lines of the trigrams and the helpers:
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, they listen to intentions, which can come from you, surroundings, or fate. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking, but they also see the impossibilities or what is lacking at the moment. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.
