The judgment

A time of great possession, and it goes very well. Strength within and clarity without bring plenty, whether in resources, ability or goodwill. Wealth of any kind is held well when it is shared, kept modest and put to good use.

The image

The sun blazes high in the sky, shining on everything below. Bring the good into the light and let the bad fall away, staying in tune with what is right.

The six lines

Read only the lines that changed in your casting, counting from the bottom.

Line 1 (bottom): Plenty has not yet tempted you into harm. Stay aware of the difficulties that wealth brings and you remain without fault.
Line 2: A big wagon, ready to be loaded. You have the means and the helpers to carry something worthwhile; go ahead.
Line 3: Offer what you have to something greater than yourself. A small-minded person would keep it, but generosity is the point.
Line 4: Don't try to outshine those around you. Keeping your distance from rivalry and display keeps you free of blame.
Line 5: Be open and sincere with others while keeping your dignity. Trust given freely, with quiet authority, brings good fortune.
Line 6 (top): Blessed from above. When abundance is held with humility and respect, everything works out well.
