14 POSSESSIONS IN GREAT MEASURE

The sun in the sky shines on everything.

	Fire Clarity
	Heaven Creative

This means a situation with a modest and kind person in control and with strong and able helpers.

This is very favourable and the reason that supreme success is predicted. If a leader has inner strength and outer clarity then he knows how to listen to good advice and sees how to look after people.

Power and wealth should be used in a graceful and controlled way. With this attitude all things can become yours.

14 LINES

1) 9 at the start

a) No relationship with what is harmful; there is no blame in this.
If there is extra work, as a result, there is no blame.

b) Harmful things are resisted.

Here you have managed to get yourself into a good position for the future. There is no blame attached to you, so far, you have behaved well. Remaining true to your principles may make life more difficult now but it will be worth it later.

2) 9 in 2nd throw

a) A big cart is used for carrying. No blame in having an objective.

b) Growing within, not destroying.

If you are in a position to provide a service and everybody gains, including you, then it should be done. It is not wrong to make gains in this situation.

3) 9 in 3rd throw

a) A prince uses progress to perfect himself. Evil people have no control or influence.

b) Evil people bring harm.

If you have a good attitude then a time of progress will be used for self-development. If instead you turn towards pleasures, and amusements, you will meet the wrong people.

4) 9 in 4th throw

a) In no way overbearing. No blame.

b) You explain it clearly.

This is a difficult position between various individuals with conflicting interests. You may be concerned that you have forced someone into an agreement but this line says that your attitude is correct.

5) 6 in 5th throw

a) Your truth is accessible yet impressive. Good fortune.

b) Versatility without preparation.

This line represents a leader who inspires able people to help. Accessible means you can act easily and without pre-arrangement. Dignity allows strong people to follow without feeling a need to explain their behaviour.

6) 9 at the top

a) Protected by Heaven. Good fortune. Nothing that is not favourable.

b) Great possessions in Heaven.

This is very favourable!

Confucius said about this line: "To bless means to help. Heaven helps the man who is devoted; men help the man who is true. He who walks in truth, is devoted in his thinking, and furthermore reveres the worthy, is blessed by Heaven. He has good fortune and there is nothing that would not further."
