Governing text · Qian: all nines

Text見群龍无首,吉。A host of dragons appears, and none pushes to the head. Good fortune.

In plain wordsA whole host of dragons has appeared, yet none of them fights to be the leader. Strength has reached its extreme and knows how to soften. Good fortune.

Supporting text · Kun: the judgment

Text元亨,利牝馬之貞。君子有攸往,先迷後得主,利。西南得朋,東北喪朋。安貞吉。Great success. It is favorable to stay true as a mare does. The noble one has somewhere to go: going first, one gets lost; following, one finds a master. Favorable. In the southwest, friends are gained; in the northeast, friends are lost. Calmly staying true brings good fortune.

In plain wordsThings go through in a big way, and the advantage lies in being like a mare: gentle, yet able to go far and go steadily. You have something to go and do: rush to the front and you will lose your way; follow behind and you will find someone to anchor you. Favorable. Go southwest and you gain companions; go northeast and you lose them. Settle your heart and stay true: good fortune.

Now
This is the strongest, most vigorous of the sixty-four hexagrams: the conditions are in place, the strength is there, and things are on the rise.
The key
All six lines are changing, which is rare. Qian keeps a special text for exactly this case. Read that. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
Where it is heading
Things are moving toward Kun (Earth): It is not your turn to lead the charge right now. Follow the right person and do your supporting part well, and the result will be good.
What to do
The situation has mostly become Kun. Follow its advice: Keep a low posture, work steadily, and do the supporting and the carrying-out properly. Don't compete for control. Patiently, over the long term, keep to your own role.
