🌿Yi-Ching Message —Hexagram 54
Thunder over Lake –(Gei-Mei)
🧿 Judgment
A young maiden is drawn by a raging force and goes to be married.
All progress in the world is born from the union of yin and yang—
yet for a woman, marriage is like dying once.
Are you prepared for that?
If you move forward without inner readiness,
even if yin and yang unite,
the bond will not endure.
Do you truly have love?
If you are merely pulled along by another’s passion,
dragged forward by an older man,
what remains in the end is only regret.
Natural affection should be allowed
to arise from the heart.
Do not rush toward self-destruction
without even knowing what love is.
To love is to give oneself away.
Only when there is true love
does rebirth follow union.
Without that vision,
even if you sacrifice yourself,
you gain nothing.
🧿 Lines (Please find your line number using the birth-year chart below.)
①
To unite with a married person—
it is like walking while dragging one leg.
Yet, if you remain modest and sincere,
you may still proceed.
②
Even one-eyed, you can still see.
Though you may be lonely alone,
live with integrity and a strong will.
③
You wait a long time to be united,
yet return home and establish yourself as a lover.
④
Keep your heart pure and miss the marriage season.
If you wait a little longer,
your time will come.
⑤
The king marries off his daughter.
Her embroidered royal robe is more modest
than that of her attendants,
yet if she holds the dignity of the full moon,
good fortune will follow.
⑥
On the wedding day, the chest is empty.
Even when the sacrificial lamb is cut,
no blood flows.
Nothing good comes of this.
🧭 Advice
You are simple and without malice,
yet if you proceed as you are,
many obstacles will arise.
Even if you yourself are upright,
the world cannot be lived in by that alone.
Know the other more deeply.
And cultivate yourself.
