HEXAGRAM 51: THUNDER

Shock and laughter. Success. Don't drop anything.

The Lines (base to top)

First thunder and then laughter
Danger in the thunderstorm
Thunderclap threatens downpour
Thunder over muddy ground
Thunder won't last forever
Thunder causes heads to turn

Commentary

Thunder over thunder. That will give you a start.

In both trigrams the yang line is ready to advance, and nothing stands in the way of success.

Arrive with a bang.
