豫 Enthusiasm
16 · yù
(The trigrams for) the earth and thunder issuing from it with its crashing noise form Yü. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, composed their music and did honour to virtue, presenting it especially and most grandly to God,
Judgment
Yü indicates that, (in the state which it implies), feudal princes may be set up, and the hosts put in motion, with advantage.
The lines
- The first SIX, divided, shows its subject proclaiming his pleasure and satisfaction. There will be evil.
- The second SIX, divided, shows one who is firm as a rock. (He sees a thing) without waiting till it has come to pass; with his firm correctness there will be good fortune.
- The third SIX, divided, shows one looking up (for favours), while he indulges the feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. If he would understand!--If he be late in doing so, there will indeed be occasion for repentance.
- The fourth NINE, undivided, shows him from whom the harmony and satisfaction come. Great is the success which he obtains. Let him not allow suspicions to enter his mind, and thus friends will gather around him.
- The fifth six, divided, shows one with a chronic complaint, but who lives on without dying.
- The topmost six, divided, shows its subject with darkened mind devoted to the pleasure and satisfaction (of the time); but if he change his course even when (it may be considered as) completed, there will be no error.
