Yi Jing, Oracle of the Moon

Qián-Zhèn, Heaven-Thunder
    

  When Qián meets Zhèn, the strength of heaven connects with the directness of thunder. Intentions can affect the universe and things happen magically - or so it seems. Scientists are discovering in this century what shamans have known for thousands of years. Thunder is the wake-up voice of heaven, but it does much more than sound, it rattles and shakes and shocks into life what lay dormant. Seeds wake up, also the seeds of ideas or wishes, good or bad ones. They listen to Heaven and Thunder, they are stronger and more true than conscious thoughts.

The initiative

    
The top line (Heaven-line) shows the change of the focus or initiative.
九三变为兑泽。 小则为刚恶强硬, 大则为暴君酷吏, 惟谦恭自保, 则可免祸害之患也。
  Nine at the top activates the open Marsh. In the small there is strong evil, unyielding, in the big there are tyrants and oppressive officials, but through polite and modest self-confidence can one remain free from the worry of disaster.

The subject

    
The bottom line (Earth-line) shows the change of the field or subject.

  The bottom line is stationary yang. This line is the subject, or the ‘field’ where you pour in or find both the cause and the means for your initiative: space, material, helpers or other people, even food for thought. It is the line of the earth, of resources and realization. It is a 'receiving' line, the earth needs food to develop things.
  Here she is yang, she does not absorb or concretize, she is giving. Things look interesting and bright and give back. What you want to achieve inspires you, but take care not to deplete resources. Things will gain clarity but it is not yet a time of concrete results.
  Yang at the bottom line brings balance between yin and yang. Its light penetrates the undefined power of the earth-line, it inspires yin to make its imaginings grow, and it gives each creature or plan or venture its rightful structure.

Enjoy the now and its possibilities.

The outcome

    
The middle line (Man-line) shows the outcome.
  变中爻为乾, 日落于天, 晚景逼迫, 光华隐藏, 难以超越。
When the middle line changes it activates Qian. Sunset in the sky, the evening landscape contracts, the brilliance of the sun hides and cannot surpass itself.

  

  The three helpers
  Each line, active or at rest, summons one of the 8 trigrams as a Helper.

  For an activated line: telling you what you need - or about a problem area or something to avoid.
  For a stationary line: this is what you already have or do or what you don't need. Often we just need a reminder of our abilities. Or it could be what you wish or fear - but will not happen.
  Active lines are the helpers to change things, they listen to intentions, which can come from you, surroundings, or fate. Stationary helpers are part of the core meaning, they are your soul talking, but they also see the impossibilities. They reinforce the overall power of a reading.

  Advice or help for the initiative: Dui, Lake, with her ability to resonate and persuade .
  Advice or help for the subject: Xun, Wind, with her power to choose and influence
  Advice or help for the outcome: Li, Fire, with her power to discern and create order.
  But when things are not satisfying, it might be that one or more helpers don't help enough - or try too hard. Or maybe you don't listen carefully enough.
