Hexagram 34

大壯 Dà Zhuàng

Great Power

Also: The Power of the Great, Great Invigorating

☳ Thunder over ☰ Heaven

The Judgment

The Power of the Great. Perseverance furthers.

The Image

Thunder in heaven above. Thus the superior person does not tread upon paths that do not accord with established order.

The Lines

Line 1

Power in the toes. Continuing brings misfortune. This is certainly true.

Line 2

Perseverance brings good fortune.

Line 3

The inferior person works through power. The superior person does not act thus. To continue is dangerous. A goat butts against a hedge and gets its horns entangled.

Line 4

Perseverance brings good fortune. Remorse disappears. The hedge opens; there is no entanglement. Power depends upon the axle of a big cart.

Line 5

Loses the goat with ease. No remorse.

Line 6

A goat butts against a hedge. It cannot go backward, it cannot go forward. Nothing serves to further. If one notes the difficulty, this brings good fortune.
