Interpretation of hexagrams
1. This symbol consists of six traits. Kind, good sign. This hexagram is male, means the month of April and spring hopes. But be careful! Now you are at the top of the mountain, and as long as you do not have the opportunity to go down. Being on the top, be vigilant and reasonable. Wait for major changes no later than six months. Time favors your beginnings. There is a certain uncertainty in your personal life, you need to make it clear. Your desire will certainly be fulfilled if it is reasonable and modest. Someone confronts you, but if you are resolute and adamant, success awaits you. The test you will undergo, you will survive.
2. The gods awakened Mother Earth. You need to work hard, and your efforts in two months will be crowned with great success. You are a cultural and knowledge-hungry person, lovingly referring to even the smallest fruits of your labor. You are respectful and attached to the mother. Now do not think too much about the material gain, do not let the will of greed. Your desire will be fulfilled, although not immediately. In the near future, it is not recommended to go on the road - not one, not with anyone. In your circle a person will soon appear, feeding you strong interest.
3. This hexagram is one of the most ill-fated combinations. Everything will fall from your hands, not giving a result, for whatever you undertake. There is nothing left but to wait for a more favorable moment. Try to lead a closed life, at least three months; this, of course, does not at all mean that during this period one should not think carefully about plans for the future. Be patient, listen to the advice of a woman. But now about luck, luck in business is out of the question.
4. Now everything around you is like a veil; But this veil will soon fall, and the world will again acquire clarity for you. Now your nerves are badly shaken, so try not to make hasty decisions. Soon everything will change. If you want to succeed - do not neglect the advice of friends, superiors, ponder over them. Spend more time with your children. Do not be discouraged. New plans and new perspectives are emerging, but for a new love time has not yet come. Come together; and concentrate the will on fulfilling one - only desire.
5. Now it's time to wait and gather strength, they'll need you soon, and very soon, when spring comes, the snow melts and the flowers blossom again. Haste and impatience in actions now can only bring harm. It is necessary to wait a little more, for two months, until a certain person appears who will help you the way you do not expect. And if you decisively and vigorously plan ahead, then help and support will come even faster. You can feel the attraction to a person who is older than you. Try not to show too much your interest in him. If you act purposefully and with sufficient circumspection, your desire will come true.
6. You feel disharmony. A conflict is coming to a head. Try to behave with restraint. Do not answer the challenge. You do not need to make too many demands, and do not start any business alone until circumstances help you. Try to start work better with someone. Start everything by your order, and you will understand that life problems can often teach a lot, and not only cause grief.
7. The symbol of this hexagram is a conscious solitude. Now you seem to be a general who is considering the coming offensive. Luck accompanies you, but be careful and careful in choosing allies. Let them become people who have good intentions. Perhaps you will be visited by an unexpected visitor, or you will receive an unexpected lime. Although you have a quarrel with a close person - but still you are in a romantic state of mind. But all future affairs you need to plan more carefully and wisely.
8. Now all the worst is over. But still some difficult problems remained unsolved. Success will accompany you only if you act in cooperation with other people, and so do not avoid common cause, try to participate in them. Do not neglect your duties. Be true to yourself, because mutual understanding and respect is also necessary in the relationship between loving people, as well as between the teacher and the pupil. Listen to the advice of your friends and your superiors, which greatly affects the fulfillment of your desires. It's not the right time for gambling.
9. Yes, now you are not accompanied by luck or success. But remember: the night is darkest before dawn. You are at a loss, now you do not own the situation, but it will soon pass. The events that will change everything for the better are already close. Now you just need to have patience and wait. Yes, you are accustomed to consider a darling of fate. You do not need to spend yourself now on petty quarrels, try not to overwork at work. Three months later, you will be successful in money matters.
10. You should now try to withdraw into yourself, retire and think about yourself, about your situation. Your behavior should be emphasized polite, reserved-friendly. It would be very useful for you, if in any way you show your respect to the authorities. Great joy will bring you an unexpected event that will soon happen. For love affairs, time is not quite right. Women, be cautious in choosing new friends! Try not to make big demands on life now.
11. Do not forget your friends, when happiness clearly favors you and your career moves forward. But at the same time, do not be frivolous and careless. If you want luck and success to accompany you as long as possible, try to back them up with successes in other areas. Your desire will be fulfilled, but take your time and do not try to artificially accelerate the course of events. Now you, apparently, tend to overspend. Hold yourself, do not overestimate your financial capabilities.

The situation will change soon; try to listen to the advice of the authorities, but make decisions at your own discretion.
13. You will never get into a bad company, wherever you go. Do not be afraid of lofty goals, get boldly into the fight; and you will be supported by those whom you do not count on.

Your desire will be fulfilled, if only you take seriously enough to the help of the elders offered to you.
14. The sun shines brightly. This means that you feel completely free. You can say that you are rich - both materially and spiritually.

No one can be petty and mercenary, following the path of success. But do not spend more than what you get. Wait a little - and your desires will be fulfilled.
17. Now is not the time to attract supporters; you need to quickly consolidate your positions. And if suddenly even your goals change, do not retreat from your principles. Do not chase after a loud success and a major victory: be content while small, and it will entail a big one. No need to swim against the current, and everything will be in order.

You need to think carefully about the possibilities of implementing your plans. Well, if your business goes well, then do not forget to help others.
21. You are tormented, you feel unhappy. Try to take on some new business, and your deeds will go better, and gradually diligent work will lead you to great success. You tend to consider yourself a victim of injustice. But if you constantly think about how this could happen - this will not help the case. We all make a lot of mistakes; obviously, you made a mistake. But try not to lose heart and learn the lesson from what happened. Do not despair, especially as circumstances now are conducive to the fulfillment of your desire. Come together; stay calm and reasonable.
22. This hexagram can be favorable only for cases related to the theater. This means that you have a tendency to hide your true face, and the people around you, too, are not completely sincere. It's quite problematic now your love affairs, but there may be successes in other areas. Your desires will be fulfilled, but not soon. We must try to accept life as it is and learn from it.
23. Great changes await you in the near future. Perhaps now someone is slandering you about gossip. Therefore, no need to take now for any new business, you can not get into an embarrassing situation. Your wishes will be fulfilled a little later. Try to be cautious and careful in dealing with representatives of the opposite sex. And do not get lost, if suddenly it turns out that you can not count on the help of friends.
24. You are frustrated now, because you think that you are completely confused. But all this is not so difficult to overcome, as it seems to you, show only patience. And the decisive will be for you some definite period - seven days, or seven weeks, or seven months. You really are on the eve of big changes in destiny. A little patience - and everything will be formed. Try also to save some money. It will come in handy to you.
25. Unity of clarity and simplicity. It will benefit you, if worthy intentions you will enforce worthy means. The time of higher activity has not yet come. Have a little patience. Wait, and fate will soon smile to you. Sometimes you are too preoccupied with love affairs, do not worry, all your desires will be fulfilled in your time.
26. There is a "pause" in your destiny, so do not waste your energy. Do not relax in combat readiness, wait for it to finish, but do not exchange energy for small things, soon it will find a more pleasant and useful application. Your wishes will be fulfilled if the height of their bar is set correctly, and not too high. Those who encounter problems similar to yours will help you. Be patient, do not try to speed up the course of events by force, the result may be quite the opposite.
27. Try to look at yourself from the outside; Do not you think that you talk too much and eat too much? You do not need to gossip about others, so you harm not only them, but above all yourself. Stop complaining about destiny. At present, you should not seem to the doctor. Your life will soon change, be ready for them.
28. You are happy, you feel your happiness. But try to pull yourself together; your temperament can hurt both others and yourself. Look at yourself critically, and do not be too self-confident; At the moment your judgments are far from the most correct. Do not try to achieve success with the help of force. Time will change everything, you need to restrain yourself and reflect on the state of affairs. Your desire can not be fulfilled quickly. Be correct, and do not offend others with your fervor.
29. Do not be discouraged, but this is one of the four worst combinations. In your life the time of losses and defeats has come. The only thing that can be done is to reduce to the minimum possible the number of blows of fate. Be patient and wait until the goddess of happiness again honors your eyes. In two, at most - in five months, the situation will change for the better. In the meantime, you have enough time to do scientific research, reading, just homework, which usually is enough. Do not be nervous, and stay calm. This is a period when self-analysis and sober assessment of the situation is more important than a desperate struggle with fate.
30. It seems to you that everything is fine, although in reality it is not so. Rather, you are now deliberately deceiving yourself, being in captivity of illusions. Listen to the advice of your friend. You are inclined to rely entirely on fortune, because fate at the moment is favorable to you. This impression is deceptive, it can be misleading and cause you serious damage. Your desires will be fulfilled thanks to the intervention of a person older than you. Perhaps you expect great success in matters related to writing and mediation. You should listen to what people say.
31. Luck and success must now accompany you through the state of mind in which you are. You are now "on the wave" of success. Here - there will be several unexpected events, very favorable for you, almost every step you take will bring good luck. The results will be such that you can not imagine now; it will bring peace and peace to your soul. However, after all the worries and worries, you, apparently, will need to leave for a while and relax.
32. You do not need to chase two hares at once, literally bursting into pieces. Keep the excerpt, and everything ends well for you. Be patient - and your desire will come true. Try now to properly understand your intentions and plans for the future. However, for new beginnings, the moment is not too suitable.
33. Try to restrain yourself a little, believe that you will only benefit from this. At the moment, persistence and perseverance will not bring any benefit. This hexagram is very favorable for interesting rest and entertainment; take this time to think about your plans for the future. However, do not rush to implement them until the current period of uncertainty ends. Better use it for meditation, quiet contemplation and meditation.
34. You are too assertive, too actively strive to get ahead; Do not need this, it only hurts you. Think about the people around you. Remember that it is impossible to build your own well-being on the failures of others. You do not need to sacrifice anybody or anything to your own ambition. Behave more modestly, tactfully, and your desire will come true. Try to find here the "golden mean".
35. Luck is already close. You have not counted on the recognition and respect in vain, they rightly expect you. In the future, you will be rewarded even more than now. Boldly and resolutely stride forward, rely on your lucky star. Your wish will not be fulfilled immediately, but do not let it sadden you. You will meet with a man whom you have not seen for a long time. Do not litter money, be a little more economical; it will greatly help you in the future.
36. The situation will change very soon. So do not be too self-confident, although you are now accompanied by luck. Do not go into love adventures, try to act deliberately and prudently. You are accustomed to consider the darling of fate, so your actions can be misinterpreted. But do not be alarmed, in the near future everything will change, become in its place. Do not despair; but now your desires will not be fulfilled. Be more economical.
37. Success and success await you exactly where your soul strives. Your hopes will come true, but not without help. Do not make a mistake, do not leave now your edge, otherwise very soon it will become clear to you that this could not be done. Seek peace and peace in your family life, at home, in socializing with friends.
38. This hexagram says that now your life is devoid of harmony. It seems to you that everyone around you is picking on you, being aggressive. Even the most insignificant events excite you. Take yourself in hand, do not be nervous, the situation will soon change. Sympathetic people you now find difficult. A certain woman is getting on your nerves. Control your words, deeds, and do not accept anything new. Those events, things that are currently in the field of your interests, do not really correspond to your true desires.
39. Alas, this one is one of the worst hexagrams. The more effort you exert, the further you are thrown back. It is difficult to say why, but at the moment fortune does not interest your destiny. It is best now to immerse yourself in study, reading, scientific activity, just into the maelstrom of domestic affairs, and find comfort in them. It is possible that a few of your friends will support you. Try to keep track of your expenses: in this evil period you can remain without funds.
40. You had to overcome a long period of anxiety and trouble. And this period is over. Now you need to get together and act immediately, otherwise you can miss the opportunity to achieve brilliant results. Some long-time desire will come true, the new one too, but a little later. You will have new friends. If you have a planned trip, a journey - a happy journey! They will give you only pleasure. The beginning period is very favorable in order to make good money.
41. Be generous to people; because what you give them today, tomorrow fate will return you with interest. Perhaps you now think that you are too wasteful; do not think about it, do not go down to commercialism, and you will be generously rewarded. Time is conducive to thinking about plans and intellectual activity. Most of your desires will be fulfilled, and you will reap much more than you sow.
42. This time is favorable to outstanding personalities. But for other people it is also fruitful. The plan will be implemented, the payment will be paid. And you can help others. A certain task entrusted to you will result in personal gain for you. You are also getting ready to make a profitable offer. Your desire will come true, not without the help of a superior. There is an opportunity to substantially improve their financial affairs, and in the very near future.
43. In the present period, you are lucky, but there is an opportunity to make a mistake and alienate those who usually helped you, all because of your own stubbornness. Be tolerant towards them, and try to meet them yourself. It is possible that during this period you will love a person you do not even now think of. This, of course, will affect your future behavior. Do not gamble.
44. Look at yourself from the outside: are you sufficiently reserved, tactful, tolerant? Pay attention to the changes in contacts with people and try to evaluate their actions less critically. It is hardly possible to expect the fulfillment of desires and hopes. Be economical. Internally prepare for the fact that soon there will be unexpected events that do not promise you anything favorable.
45. This period is very favorable for you. All your business will be crowned with success. A certain invisible force strengthens your relationships with people, helps you to find new friends and acquaintances, to make contacts, which in the future will somehow be favorable for you. The old works and efforts will be rewarded on merit. You are pursued by a woman, she seeks to block your path, interfere with the implementation of your intentions, interfere with your life. Despite this, your wishes will come true.
46. What you so striven for and given so much strength and energy, will soon be finally fulfilled, will give a positive result. It remains very little, gather strength and work a little more, just as persistently and conscientiously as before. Now it is best for you to act decisively and boldly, rather than hiding and passively waiting. Rely on intuition and common sense, and then your desire will surely come true. Those thoughts and ideas that now come to your mind, most likely will bring you success in your financial affairs.
47. Now is the time for you that you should not take something for granted. This hexagram is one of the four worst. You need to wait some time, put your thoughts in order. It is possible that you will be assisted by a person whom you know well and who occupies a sufficiently high position; do not reject his advice. After all, you now have very little faith in your own strength. But the circumstances will change for the better, and this period of bad luck will end.
48. It may be that your business is not going smoothly. But even if it is so - do not deny help to another. You will see later that this is the only correct course of action. Do not be upset, but now, apparently, you can hardly expect that your abilities will be appreciated and recognized by your bosses. Of course, you really want the circumstances to change, but it is hardly possible now. This applies only to your "global" desires and aspirations, less significant ones can be fulfilled even now. In spite of everything, your monetary affairs are quite good.
49. All the changes and permutations taking place around you now - will end; so well that the results will exceed all your expectations. Now you are not confident in yourself, but new prospects are coming, and you will regain faith in yourself. Perhaps your plans will change, and you will go where you did not intend to. Now you are very lucky in the game.
50. This hexagram indicates that at present there are all the prerequisites for you to resolutely take on the role of leader in order to achieve positive results. There will be people who will envy your successes; do not pay attention to these people. Do not take on more than you can give, and do not promise more than you can do. Strong influence on you and your relationships with others is rendered by the figure "three". The case for which you have begun, together with two like-minded people, will lead you to success. Your wish will come true, although not quite as you originally intended. Pay attention to the fact that you spend too much on entertainment and hobbies.
51. Your success is near, but you have a rival who makes every effort to prevent you from achieving it. You do not have to get upset about this; with a calm soul give way, because what you seek to get as you need, in fact will be completely different, not as it seemed. In the near future an unexpected and unpleasant event will occur in your environment, but it will not hurt you. Now you need to relax, get distracted, and try not to be nervous because circumstances are developing this way, and not otherwise. Do not be discouraged, a little later, and you will be amazed by fate.
52. Progress in business is currently very problematic. You need to wait a while and then start working again, if you plan a trip or a trip, you better abandon them. Try to come to terms with circumstances and think carefully about your situation before taking on anything. Do not despair. All the difficulties and intrigues of detractors you will overcome, victory will be yours, and very soon. To fulfill your desires, now your efforts should be especially persistent.
53. Moving forward, carefully think through each step, and then luck will not change you in the future. If, without yielding to persuasion, you do not become ahead of the events, happiness and success will be your companions. The turtle has no less chance to reach the finish line than the hare. You are at the beginning of a long journey. Financial affairs will improve, and patience and discretion will be rewarded in the end with the fulfillment of desires.
54. You need always and in everything to be cautious, especially in matters of love. Try to perceive everything happening calmly and coolly, otherwise you can get into a very unpleasant situation. The fulfillment of desires is prolonged. Do not fuss. Now for you there is a time when it is better to wait and think. And at the same time it is a period when incomes exceed expenses. Already not far off is a more positive stage, and the next few weeks should devote itself to its preparation.
55. The symbol of this hexagram is the autumn harvest, the harvesting of a rich harvest. This means that your lucky star brightly illuminates your path. Your business is going steadily and successfully. Perhaps in the future they will go even better. Remember that you always need to be aware of all the events. Do not forget about saving, try to save money little by little. This time is especially favorable for agriculture, as well as art. However, there is absolutely no certainty that your desires will be fulfilled, although now you are obviously accompanied by success.
56. Do you know that now there are all the prerequisites for success in business? If you plan to go abroad, then this will be successful. You are too ambitious, so you need to behave very circumspectly so as not to spoil relations with friends and colleagues at work. Let your claims not be too high - and your desire will come true. You are very worried and nervous about some unpleasant event. Do not think about it; Forget and do not remember.
57. At the moment, it's not so easy for you to understand the situation and reasonably evaluate it. But you over-intensify the colors, depicting events. Try to follow the path that a person who knows you well will tell you; and this will be the best way out. In five months your fate will change for the better. The woman will help to remove obstacles in the way of fulfillment of your desires. Do not let yourself be persuaded by actions that you think are wrong and unnecessary.
58. Good luck is coming to you; and your depressed mood will disappear without a trace. This hexagram has everything to do with the organs of speech. Be careful not to speak out loudly about others, and do not ignore the good advice of a friend. Now is a very favorable period for everything that concerns singing and trading. Do not be nervous about what you can not change and correct. Keep calm; happiness, luck is already on the way.
59. The bright sun of success rises again after a long period of failure. Everything you aspire to will become possible. It may very well be that a long journey awaits you. Try not to spend a lot of money. Your business will go perfectly in every respect, and in the near future you will have an unexpected chance to become a leader. Your desire is now being fulfilled. And if you are persistent and focused in your efforts - it will be fulfilled in its entirety.
60. It's time for active action. But remember: all efforts can go to waste if you are not sufficiently prudent. You will soon be made a proposal; do not rush to accept it. It may very well be that it is not at all as attractive as it seems at first glance. The same applies to your love and friendship. Your real and reasonable desires will be fulfilled. This time is not suitable for long journeys and trips. And do not forget the proverb - do not dig another pit, you'll get into it yourself.
61. Now you need to work in cooperation with others but not just one. You tend to overestimate your mental abilities; beware of this, otherwise you can become just unrestrained and arrogant proud. And this can interfere with the implementation of your plans. Try to be more reserved and modest Your desires will be fulfilled only if they are reasonable and honest. In the very near future, your abilities and abilities will be appreciated by your superiors, which will greatly help you advance along the path of success.
62. Perhaps you are disappointed in the person you love, but do not take everything too tragically. I must say that you missed the happy and best chance that would help fulfill your desire. But soon a new one will appear. This period is not suitable for long trips, but it is possible to significantly improve financial affairs. Do not trade out on trifles, do not attach too much importance to them, it never and does not benefit anyone.
63. If you suddenly quarrel with someone, it's best that you turn to someone else who could mediate between you. If you once achieved success - do not give in to the desire to repeat it again. Think about this: if you follow this advice, then the reward will be to you the full realization of your desires. Do not now throw all the forces on a new business; it will not lead to success. What you dream about and what you are aiming for will be fulfilled, but with the passage of time, not immediately.
64. Luck is very close; to her are your deeds. But time has not yet come for active action. Day by day the circumstances will develop better, if only you will be cautious enough. Your wish will come true in the near future. Just a little left to wait - and in life there will come a happy, successful period.
