  Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon

Xùn-Lí, Wind-Fire

trigram Wind    Twiske

  When Xùn activates Lí, this will be like a softly burning fire. Wind brings food and inspiration for the fire and fire brings boundaries and visibility for the wind.
  This is what happens after "she said yes": now comes the hard work. Happy-ever-afters need a lot of effort. When your visions prove their worth, there will always follow the labor of turning them into concrete reality, making them alive and turning them into a life, showing their beauty and strength.

This is the short answer - click for the complete one.

The initiative

trigram Wind    Fire
The top line (Heaven-line) shows the change of the focus or initiative.

   The top line is stationary yang. A yang initiative, entering a yang world, fits right in. Both clear and inspiring, full of plans. Even when other things change, you will remain giving, pouring ideas, efforts or money into this situation. Yang brings and spreads creativity and ideas with a good basic structure, It is the master of good timing and planning, but not of finding a final solution or concrete results.
  Stay within limits, Yang is also prone to deplete itself. It is relentless, and it can focus so intensely on mental images that they can turn into air castles or delusions. Yin is necessary for concrete results but not before the planning is right, too early can be disastrous, no matter the quality of your ideas or how determined you are.

Yang has the talent to enjoy the road
before reaching any destination.

The subject

trigram Wind    Wind
The bottom line (Earth-line) shows the change of the field or subject.
巽卦。 变初爻为乾, 风收云静, 廖廓一清。
风恬浪静.人物繁华, 风尘不动, 日月昭明, 星辰荣耀, 尊卑永荫, 始终太平。
Xun gua. The change of the bottom line activates Heaven. The wind silently drifts the clouds together, making the far-reaching sky pure and clean.
The wind is a light and agile breeze; man and matter thrive. The wind doesn't stir the dust; sun and moon shine bright; the stars sparkle.
There is no distinction between high and low. From beginning to end there is peace and harmony.

The outcome

trigram Wind     Mountain
The middle line (Man-line) shows the outcome.

  变中爻为艮, 风势入山. 动摇山岳. 令命上行, 人多敬畏。
When Xùn's middle line changes it activates Gěn. The wind penetrates the mountains and agitates their lofty heights; the destiny of life goes up, this person gets a lot of awe.

  

  The three helpers
  Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper.

  For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
  For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
  Active lines are the helpers to change things, they listen to intentions, which can come from you, surroundings, or fate. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking, but they also see the impossibilities. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.

  Advice or help for the initiative: Kan, Water, with his direction and focus, his courage to take risks and his talent to give things shape
  Advice or help for the subject: Xun, Wind, with her power to choose and influence.
  Advice or help for the outcome: Gen, Mountain with his constancy, his ability to make things endure.
  But when things are not satisfying, it might be that one or more helpers don't help enough - or try too hard. Or maybe you don't listen carefully enough.
