The Judgment

Progress. The powerful prince
Is honored with horses in large numbers.
In a single day he is granted audience three times.

The Image

The sun rises over the earth:
The image of Progress.
Thus the superior man himself
Brightens his bright virtue.

Six at the beginning means:

Progressing, but turned back.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
If one meets with no confidence, one should remain calm.
No mistake.

Six in second place means:

Progressing, but in sorrow.
Perseverance brings good fortune.
Then one obtains great happiness from one's ancestress.

Six in third place means:

All are in accord. Remorse disappears.

Nine in fourth place means:

Progress like a hamster.
Perseverance brings danger.

Six in fifth place means:

* Remorse disappears.
Take not gain and loss to heart.
Undertakings bring good fortune.
Everything serves to further.

Nine at the top means:

Making progress with the horns is permissible
Only for the purpose of punishing one's own city.
To be conscious of danger brings good fortune.
No blame.
Perseverance brings humiliation.
