Judgment

Supreme success. Establish helpers.

Image

Clouds and thunder create difficulty; the superior person brings order out of chaos.

Lines

Nine at start

Hesitation - stay true, establish helpers.

Hesitating to advance, it is favorable to abide in correctness and to establish feudal lords—in the beginning, it is better to stay than to advance.

Six second

Horses wheel - not bandits, suitors.

Difficulty piles up; the horse turns back. The comer is not a robber but a suitor; the maiden remains chaste and does not marry, only after ten years she marries.

Six third

Chase deer - lost in woods.

Chasing the deer without a guide only leads into the forest. The superior person sees the opportunity and gives up; going forward brings difficulty.

Six fourth

Horses wheel - seek union. Fortune.

The horse turns back; if one seeks marriage, it is auspicious, and nothing is unfavorable.

Nine fifth

Bountiful harvest squeezed.

Favor is not widely spread; small matters are auspicious if correct, but great matters forced bring misfortune.

Six above

Horses wheel - tears of blood.

The horse turns back; one weeps blood and tears—the image of being at the end of the road.

Interpretation

Supreme success. Establish helpers.
