Your current situation can be depicted as "Fellowship with Men" transforming into "Revolution (Molting)".
In front of you lies "Heaven" which transforms into "Lake". That means that strength and creativity are being transformed into joy, pleasure, and attraction. Behind you lies "Fire", representing brightness and warmth.
The Situation
13. T'ung Jên - Fellowship with Men Above (in front): Ch'ien - The Creative (Heaven) Below (behind): Li - The Clinging (Fire)
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
The image of the upper trigram Ch'ien is heaven, and that of the lower, Li, is flame. It is the nature of fire to flame up to heaven. This gives the idea of fellowship. It is the second line that, by virtue of its central character, unites the five strong lines around it. This hexagram forms a complement to Shih, THE ARMY (7). In the latter, danger is within and obedience without–the character of a warlike army, which, in order to hold together, needs one strong man among the many who are weak. Here, clarity is within and strength without–the character of a peaceful union of men, which, in order to hold together, needs one yielding nature among many firm persons.
The Judgement for the Current Situation
Fellowship with Men in the open. Success. It furthers one to cross the great water. The perseverance of the superior man furthers.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
True fellowship among men must be based upon a concern that is universal. It is not the private interests of the individual that create lasting fellowship among men, but rather the goals of humanity. That is why it is said that fellowship with men in the open succeeds. If unity of this kind prevails, even difficult and dangerous tasks, such as crossing the great water, can be accomplished. But in order to bring about this sort of fellowship, a persevering and enlightened leader is needed–a man with clear, convincing, and inspiring aims and the strength to carry them out. (The inner trigram means clarity; the outer, strength. )
The Image for the Current Situation
Heaven together with fire: The image of Fellowship with Men. Thus the superior man organizes the clans And makes distinctions between things.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Heaven has the same direction of movement as fire, yet it is different from fire. Just as the luminaries in the sky serve for the systematic division and arrangement of time, so human society and all things that really belong together must be organically arranged. Fellowship should not be a mere mingling of individuals or of things–that would be chaos, not fellowship. If fellowship is to lead to order, there must be organization within diversity.
Interpretation of the Changing Line(s)
Line 6: Fellowship with men in the meadow. No remorse.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
The warm attachment that springs from the heart is lacking here. We are by this time actually outside of fellowship with others. However, we ally ourselves with them. The fellowship does not include all, but only those who happen to dwell near one another. The meadow is the pasture at the entrance to the town. At this stage, the ultimate goal of the union of mankind has not yet been attained, but we need not reproach ourselves. We join the community without separate aims of our own.
The Future
49. Ko - Revolution (Molting) Above (in front): Tui - The Joyous (Lake) Below (behind): Li - The Clinging (Fire)
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
The Chinese character for this hexagram means in its original sense an animal's pelt, which is changed in the course of the year by molting. From this word is carried over to apply to the "moltings" in political life, the great revolutions connected with changes of governments. The two trigrams making up the hexagram are the same two that appear in K'uei, OPPOSITION (38), that is, the two younger daughters, Li and Tui. But while there the elder of the two daughters is above, and what results is essentially only an opposition of tendencies, here the younger daughter is above. The influences are in actual conflict, and the forces combat each other like fire and water (lake), each trying to destroy the other. Hence the idea of revolution.
The Judgement for the Future
Revolution. On your own day You are believed. Supreme success. Furthering through perseverance. Remorse disappears.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Political revolutions are extremely grave matters. They should be undertaken only under stress of direst necessity, when there is no other way out. Not everyone is called to this task, but only the man who has the confidence of the people, and even he only when the time is ripe. He must then proceed in the right way, so that he gladdens the people and, by enlightening them, prevents excesses. Furthermore, he must be quite free of selfish aims and must really relieve the need of the people. Only then does he have nothing to regret. Times change, and with them their demands. Thus the seasons change in the course of the year. In the world cycle also there are spring and autumn in the life of peoples and nations, and these call for social transformations.
The Image for the Future
Fire in the lake: the image of Revolution. Thus the superior man Sets the calendar in order.
Comment by Richard Wilhelm:
Fire below and the lake above combat and destroy each other. So too in the course of the year a combat takes place between the forces of light and the forces of darkness, eventuating in the revolution of the seasons. Man masters these changes in nature by noting their regularity and marking off the passage of time accordingly. In this way order and clarity appear in the apparently chaotic changes of the seasons, and man is able to adjust himself in advance to the demands of the different times.
