In practice
The judgment
A time of abundance and prosperity, both inner and outer. It's important to keep your character centered and to cultivate good deeds and generosity, so that this wealth lasts and reaches others.
The poetry
Great Possession
Great success.
The image
Fire is above heaven: great possession. So the noble person holds back evil, raises up good, and follows heaven's kindly mandate.
The lines
- Line 6上九
Heaven grants you blessings; everything is favorable right now.
Heaven itself protects it. Good fortune. Nothing that is not favorable.
- Line 5六五
It's a time of wealth whose challenges aren't outside you but in falling into inertia or apathy. If you stay active and alert, you'll succeed.
Its sincere trust is shared, and it has majesty. Good fortune.
- Line 4九四
It's important not to let envy get the better of you: look at the wealth you have and be grateful for it.
It does not flaunt its abundance. No fault.
- Line 3九三
Greed, or using wealth only for your own benefit, will bring difficulties and loss. Generosity opens new possibilities.
The prince makes offerings to the Son of Heaven. The petty person cannot.
- Line 2九二
Not only can you have wealth, you also have the capacity to enjoy it and to surround yourself with the right people to make it grow.
A great cart for carrying. There is somewhere to go. No fault.
- Line 1初九
It's the early stage of wealth, and obstacles may arise. If you stay on the straight path and act simply, you'll keep moving forward.
No dealings with what harms; not a fault. Mindful of hardship, no fault.
