55. Abundance
Fēng — Abundance / Fullness
Trigrams
The Judgment
Abundance has success. The king attains abundance. Be not sad. Be like the sun at midday.
The Image
Thunder above fire — lightning and thunder together, the zenith of the storm. The wise person decides lawsuits and carries out punishments in this moment of peak clarity.
Interpretation
You are at the peak. Like the sun at midday, your power and influence are at their maximum. This is a magnificent moment, but it is also fleeting — the sun at noon can only descend. Do not be sad about this. Instead, use this peak moment to its fullest. Make the important decisions now, while clarity is greatest and power is strongest. Tomorrow the light will begin to fade.
Advice
You are at the peak of your power. Use it now — don't be sad that it's temporary. Make important decisions, take decisive action, and accomplish what can only be done at the zenith. Be like the sun at midday: brilliant, generous, unstoppable.
