Hexagram 11 – Earth over Heaven (Tai)
🧿 Judgment
The earth receives the vital breath of heaven,
and heaven feels the heart of the earth.
They resonate and play a beautiful harmony—
a rich melody of spring.
All things are reborn.
Everything shines in light and joy.
Your heart is strong, filled with creative power,
and those around you are ready to welcome it.
Stretch your natural gifts to their full extent—
they will be recognized by the world.
All conflict comes to an end.
Everything moves into harmony.
Voices blessing your talent overflow around you.
Heaven and earth unite,
and a hymn of life resounds across the land.
Lines (Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
①
Now is the time to move forward boldly.
Yet if you pursue only your own gain, you will fail.
Advance together with companions,
and your wishes will be fulfilled.
②
Be gentle toward others,
and strict with yourself.
Even if you must risk crossing a great river, proceed.
Be tolerant, yet do not drown in personal feelings.
Walk the middle path—good fortune follows.
③
Peace does not last forever.
The scale always moves up and down;
nothing rises without ever descending.
It is a dangerous time,
but if your heart is upright,
there is nothing to fear.
④
If you wish from the heart,
even without wealth, companions will gather.
Yet beware the alliances of petty minds.
⑤
Even if a princess marries a minister,
if she humbly offers herself and serves sincerely,
she will be blessed with good fortune
and wonderful outcomes.
⑥
Even walls built from piled earth
eventually collapse and fill the moat.
All forms one day break apart.
Do not resist fate by force.
Devote your strength to protecting yourself.
Advice
You hold limitless creativity within,
yet remain gentle and broad-hearted.
Able to receive all without discrimination,
you are a mature and wonderful being.
You can gather the world’s dreams and happiness
into yourself.
Yet remember:
the movement of heaven never remains in one place.
While you are intoxicated by happiness,
time continues to change.
