Yi (Increase) is the counterpart to Decrease: Here, what is above is decreased to increase what is below. This means: The leadership gives resources to the base, the wealthy invest. This creates prosperity for all (a trickle-down from top to bottom that actually works). It is a time of abundance, of the compound-interest effect, and of success. 'When you see good, imitate it. When you have faults, rid yourself of them.' That is the basis for true growth. Use the tailwind! It is one of the best times to start big projects and take risks.
