Combination
16. Enthusiasm, Self-deception to 51. Shock
Changing lines
Line 1
The first line, magnetic, shows its subject proclaiming her pleasure and satisfaction. There will be evil. Line one is magnetic, with a dynamic correlate in the fourth place. She may well enjoy the happiness of the time, but unable to contain herself, she erupts in boastful enthusiasm and calls undue attention to herself. Enthusiasm has thus been her undoing.
The present judgment
Enthusiasm indicates that feudal princes may be set up and the army advantageously mobilized.
The later judgment
Shock intimates ease and development. When the time of movement which it indicates comes, the subject of the hexagram will be found looking out with apprehension, and yet smiling and talking cheerfully. When the movement like a crash of thunder terrifies all within a hundred miles, he will be like the sincere worshipper who is not startled into dropping his ladle and cup of sacrificial spirits.
What the move asks
Authentic enthusiasm must be grounded in clear awareness to prevent self-deception from escalating into sudden shock.
What people asked about
The most common topic is Life in general.
