Noonday Fullness
fēng · Thunder over FireShine fully now, knowing the sun will move.
亨。王假之,勿憂,宜日中。
Abundance opens the way, and a king can reach it. Do not fret; midday is the right hour, with light reaching everyone. Noon does not last, so use this brightness well.
The six lines
初九:遇其配主,雖旬无咎,往有尚。
You meet a counterpart of equal strength. Being evenly matched is no fault here, and going forward wins you regard.
六二:豐其蔀,日中見斗,往得疑疾,有孚發若,吉。
A screen shuts out the light until the Dipper shows at noon. Going now meets suspicion. Let sincerity show, and things can turn out well.
九三:豐其沛,日中見沬,折其右肱,无咎。
The covering grows denser, and at noon you glimpse the faintest stars. You break your right arm and cannot act, yet no blame falls on you.
九四:豐其蔀,日中見斗,遇其夷主,吉。
A thick screen blots out the light, and the Dipper shows at noon. Then you meet a leader of your own kind, and things turn favorable.
六五:來章,有慶譽,吉。
Bright talents come toward you, bringing celebration and good name. Welcoming them is the favorable course.
上六:豐其屋,蔀其家,窺其戶,闃其无人,三歲不覿,凶。
A grand house, a family walled behind screens. Peer through the door: silence, no one seen for three years. Beware of isolation.
The I Ching is a tool for reflection. Do not use it as the basis for medical, legal or money decisions.
