Hexagram 27 - Mountain Thunder Yi (Yi) - Gen on top and Zhen on bottom - the best hexagram

Xiang says: Taigong was fishing alone in the Weishui River, holding a fishing rod and feeling full of worries. Then King Wen came and visited him, and he was never tortured again from then on.

This hexagram is composed of two different hexagrams (lower Zhen and upper Gen) stacked on top of each other. Zhen represents thunder and Gen represents mountain. The mountain is above and the thunder is below, solid outside and hollow inside. Spring brings warmth to all things, and it nurtures talents and educates the people in time. Yang is strong and Yin is weak. The strong one nourishes others, and the weak one is nourished by others. Be self-reliant.

Detailed interpretation of the hexagram: The image of a sword hidden in a box means to be cautious in dealing with others.

Elephant: Its shape resembles a mouth, which indicates the way of eating and drinking. One should be careful with words and pay attention to daily life.

Career: Everything depends on personal pursuit and hard work, and you cannot rely on others. You are not allowed to seek wealth by dishonorable means. As long as you follow the right path, support yourself, and act with caution, you will surely have good opportunities. At this time, after some hard work, we can succeed

Doing business: Don't be too impatient for success, and just make ends meet in the beginning. Be cautious, proceed step by step, treat others with sincerity, cooperate with others sincerely, adapt to the circumstances, constantly pursue new directions for development, and take appropriate risks when necessary.

Seeking fame: With the goal of enriching one's own knowledge, being content with poverty, working hard, the hope of success is great.

Going out: Be cautious and avoid going out too often. If you travel hastily without adequate preparation, you may encounter danger.

Marriage and love: Don’t be impatient for success. The key is to improve your own cultivation. Once you have chosen someone, you should pursue him/her with all your strength, especially not being indecisive.

Decision: Pay attention to moral cultivation, be willing to do your best to help others, save people in distress, and do not covet property that you should not get. Therefore, you can be respected by others and continue to receive external assistance. Your personal career is very smooth and the possibility of success is very high. In particular, you must not be careless and remember that the greater the achievement, the greater the resistance.

Annotations on the Hexagrams and Yao Ci

"Yi" hexagram: The divination is auspicious. Observe the cheeks, (to see if the person is full), and ask for food (to be full)

The last Yang line: Give up your effective turtle and spy on the food in my puffy cheeks. It is bad luck.

The second to last Yin Yao: (Six Two seeks nourishment from the First Nine) is a reversal of health preservation and goes against common sense. (The top nine is the highest, and it resembles a hill). Six two seeks support from the superior (not a correct response), and it will be disastrous if it goes ahead.

The third Yin Yao from the last: It violates the health preservation principle, which will bring bad luck in divination. So if you don't use it for ten years, there will be no benefit if you use it.

The fourth Yin line from the last: (Six four nourishes the first nine, using yin to nourish yang) is the reversal of health preservation. (But six four is above the first nine, the upper nourishes the lower), it is auspicious.

(The strength of the first nine) is like a tiger staring closely, its desire is urgent, (the sixth four does not lose the righteousness of nurturing the lower from above) and is harmless.

The fifth Yin line from the bottom: (Six and five are in a high position, relying on nine for nourishment) is against common sense. (Six and five are quiet and occupy a distinguished position), so it is auspicious to ask about the residence. (Since it is quiet), we cannot cross the river.

The top Yang Yao: (To nourish people from the top nine), it means to nourish. (But the upper nine are in the high position), so it will be auspicious only if you are in danger. (The upper nine is masculine), so it is beneficial for crossing a big river.
