THE JUDGEMENT

Abundance has success. The king attains it. Be not sad: be like the sun at midday.

Thunder and lightning arrive together: the image of Abundance. Thus the noble one decides lawsuits and carries out punishments.

THE LINES

Six in the second placeThe curtain is so thick that at midday one sees the polar stars. Going, one meets distrust and hatred: to awaken through truth brings good fortune.

Nine in the third placeThe thicket is so dense that at midday one sees the small stars. He breaks his right arm: no blame.

Nine in the fourth placeThe curtain is so thick that at midday one sees the polar stars. He meets his lord, who is his equal: good fortune.

Six in the fifth placeThe light comes, and with it blessing and fame: good fortune.

Six at the topHis house is in abundance, but he hides from his own family. He peers through the gate and no longer sees anyone: for three years he sees nothing. Misfortune.
