46 "Pushing Upward"
Advancement is represented by the forces of growth in springtime, when new plant life pushes upward through the earth's crust. The emphasis is on upward motion, from obscurity to influence, with growth fostered by adaptability and the absence of opposition. Constant, flexible growth is the key attribute of a plant pushing upwards. This reading suggests a period of promotion and prosperity in your life.A wise person, in harmony with fate, is sensitive but determined. Make a sincere effort to apply resolute effort against the forces of inertia, and good fortune will follow. By remaining tolerant and flexible, you will be able to retain the kind of conscious innocence which fuels growth and advancement. Will power and self-control are necessary to manage this growth properly, but an inner enthusiasm for life is what nurtures it.


Your Changing Lines
You have several Changing Lines, which indicates a relatively unstable situation with regard to your question.
1. The first changing line is line 1Advancing with confidence brings good fortune. Just as a tree draws its power from its roots, so even the most humble beginnings can serve as the foundation for great achievement, given the right attitude at the start. Even though new movement may induce sadness, there is no regret, so long as you are willing to forsake the comfort of the past for the vitality of the future.

2. The second changing line is line 4When lofty goals are achieved, great merit is earned in the world of gods and men. In times of special recognition, strive to make your influence a lasting one. There is no better fortune than to achieve your goals while exerting a lasting positive influence in the world. Remember, deception burns out quickly, but integrity resounds forever.

3. The third changing line is line 6Those who push blindly toward greater fame, fortune and power delude themselves. As a result of recent successes, you may feel that you are fated always to advance, never to retreat. But such unabashed ambition leads to exhaustion - and often embarrassment. The shortest distance between where you are now and where you want to be is undoubtedly a curvy, winding path, so enjoy the scenery.


Your Future Hexagram
Supreme success! Like the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, a person whose fortunes have turned for the better shines brightly. At the core of this success lies unselfishness and modesty, for it is the tendency of a flexible or yielding nature to bind powerful forces to it, particularly when prosperity begins to manifest. When power is wielded with grace and dignity, there is supreme success and great abundance!Ah, but be careful. Along with any accumulation of wealth or influence may come an accumulation of pride and arrogance. Fight this tendency if you intend to continue prospering. Stay attentive enough to manage your affairs well. And remember that while material prosperity certainly beats the alternative, it is only one of many elements of a satisfying life.
