55 ABUNDANCE

A summer storm.

	Thunder Shock
	Fire Clarity

Good times are here and you should aim to be happy and try to enjoy it while it lasts.

It will last longest if you are sensible and avoid unnecessary disputes.

If there are outstanding problems you should use the present time of prosperity to settle things using the official channels; do not try to use force or get involved in anything foolish.

55 LINES

1) 9 at the start

a) Meeting an old friend.
Although ten years have passed.
No blame. Going brings honour.

b) More than ten years would ruin it.

If you know somebody with whom you feel an inner connection then it is not a mistake to push yourself forward and spend some time with them. If it is an old friend, who you have not seen for a long time, they will be pleased to see you; and they may have things to offer.

2) 6 in 2nd throw

a) Concealing one's abundance.
Visiting the grain stores at noon.
Going brings distrust and disorder.
Possessing truth like a sign.
Good fortune.

b) Trustworthiness is displayed.

The reason why it is hard to maintain a state of abundance is because news of it gets around and various people will try to take it away from you. In this context, visiting the grain stores at noon is a mistake; since it draws attention to your surplus. However, if there is an obvious good reason to be there, such as buying a cooked meal, it will then be no problem.

3) 9 in 3rd throw

a) Spreading one's abundance.
Perspiration at noon.
He breaks his right arm.
No blame.

b) In the end you are not able to use it.

This suggests that you are working too hard. Although it is good to make the most of a good situation, if you over-do things you will end up being forced to slow down by various problems. In this case a more relaxed approach will achieve more.

4) 9 in 4th throw

a) Concealing one's abundance.
Visiting the grain stores at noon.
Meeting one's leader who is hiding.
Good fortune.

b) A fortunate action.

Contact is established with a like-minded friend, due to a chance meeting; perhaps while out buying some food. This marks the start of new activity.

5) 6 in 5th throw

a) Brilliance is coming.
This brings rewards, praise, and good fortune.

b) It bestows blessing.

Here you obtain abundance due to valuable skills that you possess; once these are noticed they will provide you with abundance.

6) 6 at the top

a) One's roof is abundant.
Screening the house.
Peeping through the door.
Living alone without company.
Seeing no one for three years. Misfortune.

b) Hiding causes it.

Here, somebody who has everything tries too hard to keep it all, and as a result he loses the things that he most wanted to keep. You cannot enjoy a time of abundance if you will not trust anyone, or if you refuse to share it with anybody.
