Ge (Revolution) shows fire in the lake. Water and fire fight each other – a situation of extreme tension that culminates in a 'molting'. Old operating systems no longer fit new requirements. It is time for a radical update. But beware: Revolution needs timing. Only when the pressure of suffering in the system (or team) is at its peak will the change be accepted. 'On your own day you are believed.' Be credible and prepare the ground before you tear down the old. It is about the courage to shed outdated identities in order to make room for a more efficient design.

RevolutionChange

Revolution. Only on one's own day does one gain credence. Exalted success, beneficial through persistence. Regret vanishes.

System Change

Ge is the end of a cycle. The old must die so that the new can breathe.

Operative Resources

Timing. Knowing when a reform leads to success and when it only creates chaos.

System Blocks

Resistance to change. Clinging to structures that stopped delivering results long ago.

System-Hacks

Update the OS.

Declutter: Today, delete an app or a subscription you no longer use.
New Look: Change one small thing about your appearance/setup.

Image

In the lake there is fire: the image of Revolution. So the noble one orders the reckoning of time and makes the times clear.

Shadow Challenge

Shadow: Destructiveness – Destroying without having a better system ready. Or: Striking too early (rushing into action).

Strategy

Plan carefully. Wait until the necessity is visible to everyone. When the moment comes, act decisively like a tiger. Set new standards.

The Lines

Beginning: Holding Still (Preparation)One is wrapped in the pelt of a yellow cow. The time is not yet ripe. Action for action's sake now leads to mistakes. Hold still.
Level 2: Showtime (Implementation)On one's own day one carries out the revolution. One sets out. Good fortune. No fault. The window of opportunity is open. Use it now.
Level 3: Checkpoint (Quality Assurance)Setting out brings misfortune. Persistence brings danger. When talk of the revolution has gone out three times, one may turn to it and will gain credence. Check your motives and means meticulously.
Level 4: Legitimacy (Breakthrough)Regret vanishes. One is truthful. Changing destiny brings good fortune. You have the authority and the means for change.
Level 5: Tiger Change (Mastery)The great lord brings about change like a tiger. Even before he consults the oracle, he gains credence. The change is so powerful and logical that everyone follows without hesitating.
Conclusion: Stabilization (Fine-Tuning)The noble one changes like a panther. The petty person changes only the skin of his face. Setting out brings misfortune. To abide in persistence brings good fortune. Focus on the fine work. The broad strokes of change are done.
