51. Shock · 震 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 51
In practice
Your main enemy now is a lack of calm: catching the worry that fills the air over situations that aren't affecting you. If you can step away from that atmosphere and return to your center, things will settle.
The poetry
Thunder, shiver upon shiver; the eyes restless and lost. Setting out brings misfortune. The thunder strikes not oneself but the neighbor: no fault. Over the marriage there will be talk.
上六：震索索，視矍矍，征凶。震不于其躬，于其鄰，无咎。婚媾有言。
象曰：震索索，中未得也。雖凶无咎，畏鄰戒也。
