Gate 35: Change

Appetite for the experience not yet had.

When it overshoots

Novelty for its own sake.

At its best

Progress through actually doing it.

Carried and open

In a chart that carries it

Held, the hunger for change is amplified, and taking an experience all the way through gives it value.

In a chart where it is open

Where the gate is open, someone else’s restlessness can pass for your own; choose which adventures to join.

When it is in the sky

Restlessness for new experience runs strong. Progress comes from doing it, not from wanting it.

The six lines

1. Line 1, The InvestigatorChange goes better with preparation, so learn enough first to make the new experience worth having.
2. Line 2, The HermitThe appetite for something new is catching on this line, and friends find themselves trying what they had only daydreamed.
3. Line 3, The MartyrSome new experiences disappoint, and each disappointment shows which changes were worth pursuing.
4. Line 4, The OpportunistAn adventure is richer shared, and friends turn a change into a story worth retelling.
5. Line 5, The HereticNovelty demanded constantly loses its taste; choosing which experiences to pursue keeps change meaningful.
6. Line 6, The Role ModelThe experiences that altered a life were the ones followed all the way to their end.
