The Judgement

Perseverance furthers. Not eating at home brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.

Great accumulated strength, held back until the right release.

The Image

Heaven within the mountain; the noble one acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity and many deeds of the past, in order to strengthen his character.

This hexagram on ten matters

WorkCAREER

Great accumulated force, held but not yet released. Not eating at home brings good fortune — step out and take on the larger arena.

LoveRELATIONSHIP

There is tension that needs restraining. The headboard of a young bull, great good fortune: set the boundary early rather than after the clash.

MoneyFINANCE

Wealth by deep accumulation. Acquainting oneself with many sayings and deeds — investment in learning and information beats investment of capital right now.

HealthBODY

Danger is at hand, it furthers one to desist. The hexagram says it plainly: if it feels wrong, stop. Building reserves matters more than spending them.

StudyLEARNING

The most apt hexagram here. Strengthen character by accumulation — read widely now; it will be drawn on later.

An examEXAM

Wide-syllabus exams favour you; what you have built up pays out on the day. But danger is at hand, desist — if you feel overdrawn in the final week, cut back and rest rather than dragging yourself into the room.

PeopleSOCIAL

Good for learning from those ahead of you. A good horse that follows: hard going, but worth it.

A choiceDECISION

Gather force rather than acting immediately. One attains the way of heaven — when the time comes the road opens.

TravelJOURNEY

It furthers one to cross the great water. Travel far, and it yields something real.

A lost itemLOST ITEM

It has been stored away — a cupboard, a storeroom, somewhere things are kept.
