When Gěn changes to Xùn, the strong inner core comes out. It can show its beauty or its flaws, its strengths or weaknesses. Gěn is 'character', Xùn is 'fate or destiny'. They both seem immutable, but when they appear together in living beings, they are also their power to make change possible, against all odds. It is the willpower to take your life or everything you do into your own hands, to either return or move forward to your true character and destiny.
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.
