I Ching reading: Feng (Abundance) changing to Zhen (Thunder)
Feng: Nine in the third place
The curtain is so large that the faint stars are seen at midday. The right arm is broken. No blame.
豐其沛，日中見沬。折其右肱，无咎。
平Neutral
Reading
Neither good nor bad. It depends on how you act.This is the very height. Use it well, and know that what peaks will decline.
Governing text · Feng: Nine in the third place
In plain wordsThe covering is worse still: in broad daylight even the small stars can be seen. It is like breaking your right arm, and nothing can be accomplished. But this is not your fault.
- Now
- Greatness and fullness, like the sun at noon.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the third place. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Zhen (Thunder): A sudden shock will give you a fright, but it will not really hurt you.
- What to do
- Do not worry; while it lasts, get things done openly and honorably. At the same time understand that once noon has passed the sun begins to slant. Do not mistake now for forever.
