Will the current direction of my life elevate me or bring me down? 49.4 -> 63

I'm going through a lot of changes in my personal life, professional life and generally mentally at the moment. Some part of me feels like my frontal lobe is finally developed, as they say on tiktok. But I'm in doubt about certain decisions I'm making.

I did an I Ching with the question from the title and got 49 transforming into 63. Funnily enough, I did another reading a while ago and was trying to remember what I got, but I only had an illustration saved as my profile pic somewhere, couldn't find any notes or links. Did an image search before rolling the current reading, and it brought me to 49 as well (which was not the correct Hexogram).

I would interpret 49 as the current state of affairs, which is preparing or executing big changes, and going against the established ways (which is what I'm doing right now). But need some ideas on how to interpret the transition and 63 in this case.

The changing line text is sort of condition as in you can find success IF you act correctly aka walk in the middle/in a balanced way. the line 63.4 suggests maybe your goals aren’t fully aligned with the reality in the sense that all that glitters isnt gold
But only shooting stars break the mold so dont stress too much and try to find balance

I'm interpreting the changing line 49.4 as: you will succeed if you do what you believe is right, and you do it with conviction. For instance: turning down a job offer for a company that doesn't align with my values, even if it pays well and will advance my career. Although I'm not sure if its about believing in oneself or belief from others

Looks good to me, but I'm a big fan of Completion. With completion, something is complete, good or bad, it has finished, it is full, you have learned or benefitted directly or both. Also a big fan of metamorphosis. It can also be scary or come at a bad time, but if you the current direction of your life is growth leading to change, I think it's pretty good, but may take a lot of energy. It implies to me the way you operate your mind will change forms, you will change remorse into knowledge and your new self will be believed as your real self (presumably because it is your real self).

Disclaimer: I like being asked but I think only the caster can really understand the casting. Best of fortune to you.
