Great Possession

Hexagram 14 is a single yin line in the ruling place, holding five yang lines willingly: wealth, capacity, influence, and the conduct that keeps them. The Judgment is two characters: the source, it gets through. Abundance needs no elaboration. What to do with it takes six lines, and the Image compresses them: fire high above heaven, so the noble person curbs what is harmful, encourages what is good, and accepts heaven's benevolent mandate. Possession is converted at once into a duty of discrimination. This week you have more than you need: time, money, attention, standing, goodwill. The hexagram is not interested in whether you deserve it. It is interested in what you promote with it. Decide, each day, what the surplus goes to, and let that deciding be the possession.

For your star sign

The same reading, taken through each sign of the zodiac.

Aries

You have more than you need this week and will spend it on the fight. The Image says curb what is harmful. Spend the surplus on what is good, which is a different target.

Taurus

Abundance is your natural state and the hexagram adds the duty. This week the surplus goes to something. Decide what you promote with it, daily, and the pile becomes possession.

Gemini

You have surplus attention this week and will scatter it. Curb what is harmful, encourage what is good: two directions, not twenty. Pick them on Monday.

Cancer

You have more goodwill than you need this week and will give it to whoever asks. The Image discriminates. Give it to what is good, and withhold it from what harms.

Leo

This is your hexagram: fire high above heaven, possession, influence. The addition is the mandate. This week what you promote with it is the reading, not what you have.

Virgo

You have surplus and will audit it. This week spend it. Curb the harmful, encourage the good, and let the audit be the deciding rather than the counting.

Libra

You have more than you need and will divide it evenly. The Image is not even. This week discriminate: more to what is good, none to what harms.

Scorpio

You have surplus and will hold it. This week the single yin line holds five yang lines willingly, not tightly. Let the possession move through you toward what is good.

Sagittarius

You have more than you need and will spend it all at once. This week spend it daily, on what you have decided to promote. The mandate is a week's work, not a gesture.

Capricorn

Great possession is your aim and this week it is your condition. The hexagram is uninterested in the earning. What do you promote with it? Answer that each morning.

Aquarius

You have surplus and will give it to the idea. This week give it to what is good in front of you. Heaven's mandate is accepted in practice, not in principle.

Pisces

You have more than you need and will not notice. This week notice. Then curb one harmful thing and encourage one good one, and the possession is real.

For your Chinese animal

The same reading, taken through each animal of the Chinese zodiac.

Rat

You have more than you need and will store it. This week the Image says promote with it. Decide what the surplus advances, and the storing is the harm to curb.

Ox

Your possession is built and held. This week the holding is willing, the hexagram says, not tight. Let some of the surplus go to what is good, deliberately.

Tiger

You have surplus force this week. Curb what is harmful, the Image says first, before encouraging the good. The order is for you.

Rabbit

You have more than you need and will keep it safe. This week safety is not the mandate. Encourage something good with the surplus, visibly, and the possession is used.

Dragon

Great possession is your birthright and the hexagram makes it a duty. This week decide, daily, what you promote with it. The pile is not the reading; the promoting is.

Snake

You have surplus and nobody knows. This week the fire is high above heaven, visible. Let the possession be seen going to what is good.

Horse

You have more than you need and will spend it on the road. This week spend it on what is good where you are. The mandate is accepted in place.

Goat

You have surplus and will give it away to be liked. This week give it to what is good, which may not be what is asked for. Discrimination is the duty.

Monkey

You have more than you need and will play with it. This week the Image is serious: curb the harmful, encourage the good. Play is neither, and the surplus goes to one of the two.

Rooster

You have surplus and will judge its recipients. This week judge what is good and what is harmful, and then act on the judgement rather than only forming it.

Dog

You have more than you need and will give it to those you guard. This week ask whether what you guard is good. The mandate discriminates, and loyalty does not.

Pig

This is your week: abundance, more than enough. The hexagram asks what you do with it. Decide each day what the surplus goes to, and let that be the possession.
