55. Fēng 豐
ABUNDANCE, OPPORTUNITY
Key Concepts:
significant achievements, efficiency, peak energy, generosity
A time of great strength and great successes. Act! Shine, but do not succumb to excessive self-satisfaction.
Above is the trigram Zhen (Thunder), below is the trigram Li (Fire). The metaphorical image of this hexagram is the dazzling lightning striking the earth during a storm, symbolizing immense power in action. In this capacity, Feng embodies a time of highest achievements, abundance, success. This is the metaphorical image of this hexagram. Feng signifies grandeur and bloom (fullness, might). Feng points to abundance and wealth, fullness and greatness. Clarity and light animate and set in motion. Thunder shakes the space, the sun shines – this is a symbol of greatness and fullness.
Since this is the peak of our energy, it will not be prolonged, and a decrease in strength must inevitably follow. This is no reason for regret, but we should make full use of this atmosphere of prevailing triumph, implement those tactics and strategies that will contribute to achieving our goals.
Feng warns us against excess and complacency during our triumph. Like a wise ruler who, coming to power, establishes justice and order, we should not waste opportunities indulging in ecstasies over our victories.
At the same time, we should not allow our sense of responsibility to take away our enjoyment of this favorable period of our life. We must invite our supporters and loved ones to participate in these celebrations. Be like the Sun for yourself, and most importantly, for others: spread your light in all possible directions.
