Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon

Qián-Lí, Heaven-Fire

    

  When Qián activates Lí, the sun descends in the sky, the shadows lengthen. People become anxious, the differences between friend and foe, hunter or prey become more important. For many it is not safe, so they hide who they are, or create a group of peers: security in numbers.
  All creatures and objects need classes, otherwise the world will become chaos. It is the warp and weft of society, both protection and danger.

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 bottom line is stationary yang. 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, even food for thought. It is the line of the earth, of resources and realization. It is a 'receiving' line, the earth needs food to develop things.
  Here she is yang, she does not absorb or concretize, she is giving. Things look interesting and bright and give back. What you want to achieve inspires you, but take care not to deplete resources. Things will gain clarity but it is not yet a time of concrete results.
  Yang at the bottom line brings balance between yin and yang. Its light penetrates the undefined power of the earth-line, it inspires yin to make its imaginings grow, and it gives each creature or plan or venture its rightful structure.

Enjoy the now and its possibilities.

The outcome

    
The middle line (Man-line) shows the outcome.
  变九二为离为火。 离为火为日, 吐焰发耀, 光照天下, 太阳之三三 象，
长育之君, 万象贤明, 百物附丽。
  The change of the middle yang line activates Li, which is fire and the sun, spewing flames and brightly radiant; its rays illuminate everything under the sky, its image is repeated eminent yang.
  It is the ruler who brings greatness. The source of life and clarity for everything on Earth, all beings bind themselves to it.

  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: Dui, Lake, with her ability to resonate and persuade., 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. Yang remains Yang.
  Advice for the outcome: Li, Fire, with her power to discern and create order.
  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.
