Hexagram 6 indicates the right time to express your opinion clearly, without the need for aggressive action. If it is not possible to win the dispute, the best solution is to resolve the conflict, or find a way to get away from it. You should remain calm and peaceful, remembering that in this situation there is a connection with spiritual forces.

The most important thing is to stick to the golden mean. Don't let feelings of passion and anger take over. This will be the opening of the path (finding happiness).

A quarrel and an aggravation of the conflict situation will close the path (calamity). Focus your efforts on finding people who can be a positive influence on you. It is very important to recognize the greatness in yourself. This will be very helpful and will open the way to enlightenment.

It is not yet time for new beginnings and setting a specific goal that requires many efforts and serious steps. Now the environment is too filled with conflicting movements. This time is not disposed to harmony, there is a dispute between people and ideas.

There is no point in trying to bring everything together. Heaven is preparing something new. Express your point of view and see what happens. If necessary, be prepared to compromise or retreat.

Book of Changes - interpretation of hexagram No. 6

Sun. Court (Litigation)

Waiting is useless. It can and should be filled with self-examination. Of course, it is a temporary retreat from the outside world and immersion in oneself. Such a discrepancy between the external and internal is expressed even in the symbolism of the hexagram. Here above, in the outer - Sky (Creativity), and below, inside - Water (Danger). The essence of the sky is in its desire to rise, just as the essence of water is in its desire to flow down. Between them - a conflict, litigation, i.e. court. But water reflects the creative sky in itself, it is permeated with its forces. This is also expressed in the trigram of water, where the light line is immersed in the middle of two shadow lines. The vigilant preservation in the inner of this reflected essence of the sky leads to a harmonious union with it. But any excessive bringing the matter to the end is also fatal here, for the essence of water will be revealed to the end, gravitating downward and moving away from the sky. On the contrary, if you do not succumb to its gravity, but look at the sky as the highest human ideal of creativity, if you meet a great person, then there will be well-being, and vice versa: it will not be there if you rush yourself into the stream of life. In the path of knowledge, the situation is the same here. A judgment must be made about the relationship between already known and newly acquired experience. In this judgment there is a judgment on the mistakes of both the past and the new experience. Such a judgment has not only the negative side of condemnation, but (almost to a greater extent) the positive side of judging mistakes and getting rid of them. Moreover, in this area it is a judgment of a person over himself - a judgment of the best that is in a person, over his mistakes and omissions, a judgment of creativity over passive inertness and overcoming it. This is all condensed in the following text:

Court.
The owner of the truth is an obstacle.
Vigilance and balance - fortunately.
Extremes - unfortunately.
It is good to meet a great man.
The ford across the great river is not auspicious.

1. Everything bad at the beginning of its emergence does not yet have a strong enough force of resistance to consider it irremovable. At the first stage of "judgment" it is symbolized by a weak feature, the malleable nature of which indicates an easy possibility of overcoming evil, i.e. what is condemned here. At the most, there may be a little talk and debate about it, but in the end the matter will be corrected by at least one timely repentance. In the text we read:

Weakness in the beginning.
What is at stake is not eternal.
There will be small bumps.
Ultimately, happiness.

2. If we do not overcome evil in time, at the next step we give it the opportunity to grow stronger so that it already dominates us. It persecutes us and compels us to judgment, but this judgment will not be for our benefit, but can only be in condemnation. By judging, we bring trouble upon ourselves. Here it is better to abandon the court and at least half way back and hide at home; it is better to return even to your insignificant possessions than to chase after something greater in litigation. - So in cognition under similar conditions, it is preferable to return to an insignificant, but completely mastered experience, than, having strayed from the right path, to strive to acquire more and more new knowledge that remains completely external and not mastered. Having made a mistake, it is necessary to refuse to pronounce the final judgment. It is necessary to return to the starting point and correct the error, and only then move on. This is expressed in the text as follows:

Strong trait in second [place].
[Let him] return and hide in his settlement of three hundred households.
[Then] there will be no trouble [caused by himself].

3. The impossibility of movement from within to the outside is already clearly indicated in the hexagram itself: in the external there is a creative force, against which the inner world, which is in a state of danger, cannot resist. Judgment is pronounced here on the latter. This impossibility of moving forward at the moment of crisis (the third position) appears especially clearly, because this position is the moment of transition from the internal to the external. Of course, any rejection of new knowledge, of moving forward, any steadfast stay in one place is dangerous, but here it is only able to lead to a happy outcome. Here a person cannot act independently for the sake of new achievements. Only what has been achieved in the past can support a person here. But the true leader of mankind is also the most perfect bearer of what was achieved in the old days. Therefore, following him, it is still possible to act, only even with such an action nothing can be achieved for its own sake. Man here is like a climbing plant, which, with the support of a tall and strong tree, can rise to great heights. But this, of course, is not its own ability to rise to a height. – It is the same in cognition: at the moment of the crisis of the relation of the subject to the object
the former is unable to develop an ad hoc cognition methodology and is forced to use a previously developed methodology. (However, one should not lose sight of the fact that this provision is only a special case and does not at all express the general epistemological views of our monument. Here we mean only a specific possibility characteristic of a given situation in the process of cognition. - Yu.Shch.) In the text, this is encrypted in the following words:

Weak trait in third [place].
Feed on what has been achieved in the past.
Fortitude is dangerous, [but] there will be happiness in the end.
Maybe, following the leader, you will act,
[but] do nothing [on your own].

4. The influence of the crisis still continues in this position, and here the person is also unable to control himself and brings the matter to court. But this position is already included in the Creativity trigram, i.e. here a person has creative power, thanks to which he can correct all his actions and return to a state of innocence that corresponds to the design of fate. Having understood it, a person can achieve complete and perfect reconciliation with his destiny. Steadfastly maintaining this reconciliation, he enters the world as a harmonious part of it. Again, one should not assume that a general attitude is given here once and for all. It is a question of the specific conditions of one of the moments of "judgment", and this "judgment" is now considered from the point of view of the judge (upper trigram). From this point of view, the court is not a punishment, but a correction for the sake of the triumph of the necessity of the law of fates. The triumph of truth over temporal and apparent correctness is necessary. It is the restoration of the truth that is meant here. This is expressed in the text as follows:

Strong trait in fourth [place].
He who has not overcome [himself goes to] the court.
[May he] turn and reunite [himself] with destiny,
[and in this] change [may he find] peace.
Resilience is a blessing.

5. From the point of view of the court that pronounces the verdict, the court is the main and perfect knowledge, purification and correction of the offense. From the height of this action, not a single bad deed can be overlooked. Everything that is not good is known. And once it is known in the characteristic, then it will no longer be performed. Thus, complete innocence is restored, that original state of harmony, which was before the first causes of the crime. It no longer exists, as it did not exist before its conception. Therefore, the text here is concise:

Strong trait in the fifth [place].
Court.
Primal happiness.

6. The atonement of the offense in condemnation should not lead a person to take lightly the opportunity to atone for the offense. Otherwise, it will be a re-development of redemption, which is described in the sixth section of this hexagram. Here we are talking about such an easy attitude towards forgiveness. A person can be forgiven, but he again commits an offense, counting on new repentance and redemption. If at the previous stage it was about a complete and perfect correction, then here it is a re-development, an ever-again correction of misdeeds committed again and again. (The text here wraps these thoughts in images that are understandable without explanation, but full of the specifics of the life of the court feudal lords of ancient China. - Yu.Shch.)

Above is a strong feature.
Maybe you will be granted a parade belt,
[but] before the end of the audience [you] will tear it three times.

The Sunn hexagram belongs to those symbols whose advice is most difficult for people to follow. In this case, we are talking about the need to show tolerance for those who do not share your views on life. And in most cases this is difficult, because our nature is such that everything that is not consonant with us is perceived as hostile. But if you do not show respect for someone else's opinion, then further events will unfold in a negative way.

The first thing you should pay attention to when the Sunn hexagram appears in front of you is your own ego. Very often we do not notice it, calling it our personality. But in fact it is not so: each individual is richer than his ego, because we also feel and think. And the function of the ego is to protect us. And now the moment comes when it is necessary to understand that the ego not only protects against everything hostile, but also from what could make life more diverse and joyful. And for this it is necessary for some time to stop thinking in terms of war - "our" and "alien". You need to try to notice something else in the world around you. And the key to this behavior is tolerance. Do not rush to immediately be hostile to what fate “throws” you, moderate your ardor and try to sort out your thoughts and emotions. And then you will find a lot of options for an easy solution to those problems that have been bothering you for a long time.

The Sunn hexagram warns that in the very near future you may find yourself in the center of a difficult conflict, from which you will not be able to get out of standard actions (reciprocal irritation). We'll have to show miracles of diplomacy. And the main thing here is in no case to fall for provocations, not to rush to prove the case, but to allow the situation to unfold a little, so to speak, in a natural way, and only then make adjustments.

As mentioned above, it is very important not to succumb to provocations, and not so much from the people around you, but also from your own weaknesses, whims and shortcomings. For right now they are activated more than ever. And the saddest thing is that you are unlikely to be fully prepared for this, since a conflict or a series of conflicts can unfold in such a way that it will affect the most sore spots. Therefore, in order not to aggravate the situation, it is worthwhile to plan in advance the “withdrawal” strategy, that is, what you will do to keep yourself in balance, in peace, or, if necessary, quickly restore emotional balance.

When brothers quarrel, do not go to them and do not try to reason with them. Stay away and don't interfere in their affairs. The siblings will reconcile again, and they will hate you in their hearts.

Structure Explanation

Do not trust innocently, be alert, especially in difficult conditions. Do not aim at Solomon's decisions, this is the prerogative of the Solomons. Expect lots of trouble.

The structure of both guas

GUA LOWER, CAN. WATER. DANGER. MIDDLE SON. NORTH. EAR.

LOWER YIN.

Do not be conservative and fixated, look for new methods and means to resolve the conflict, relieve tension. Everything changes in this world, and as the great king of the people of the Jews Solomon, the third king of Israel, looked at the root: "Everything passes, and this will pass!" - so you do not think that the enmity will be eternal. In settling litigation and overcoming hardships, start small. For pain in the stomach, do not take ground glass. Do not drag out troubles, look for ways out of them.

SECOND JAN.

Sometimes it is better to go into the shadows from troubles, to wait them out. You are in a disadvantageous, losing position, but this is a temporary phenomenon. Do not aggravate the suffering, it is better to be silent, disappear. The rays of the sun can burn you, hide from them.

THIRD YIN.

Wait, be in hiding as long as possible, and you will see that it is good for you. Submit to the higher - the power of law, logic, common sense. Admit your mistakes.

GUA UPPER, QIAN. SKY. TENSION. FATHER. NORTHWEST. HEAD.

FOURTH JAN.

Moderation will help, but you won’t escape fate, you will return to it again.

FIFTH JAN.

From moderation you will achieve peace and happiness. Litigation, quarrels will stop.

UPPER JAN.

But don't expect it to be like this forever. Even today, your reward received during the day can be taken away in the evening. Stay calm. Differences are not enough for true reverence and victory over one's own "I".

The main thing in gua

At the approach of litigation, quarrels, be ready, be prudent.

Main thesis

Do not break the commandments and vows, surrendering to the mercy of fate.

Take care of your eyes, do not go blind from delusions. Prevent conflicts in the bud.

Divinatory Aspect

When the SUN sign falls out, expect a period of tension in relations with other people, most often negative is possible in relations with relatives and superiors.

Be careful like foxes - watch the situation.
Keep calm, calm, do not go on the rampage.
Trust the enemy - perhaps he is somewhat right.
Don't spit against the wind - it will ricochet back in your face.
Try to resolve conflicts of any kind, strive for reconciliation.
If possible, hide from ill-wishers, give them time to understand how wrong they are.
In reconciliation, do not rely on high mercy, for you may lose again.
Whatever happens, stand firm in the position of justice and avoid hatred towards your enemies. Hit on the right cheek, substitute the left.

The sign is unexpectedly ambiguous: Sky above, Water below, and it will never rise. Difficulties, intrasign connections are very important.

Correspondence with Tarot

In Tarot, as a rule, the aggravation of relations at all levels is described by the suit of swords. Quarrels, conflicts, litigation - also. But in the case of the Sun sign, everything is not so simple. In general, if we talk about any one Tarot card that can be put in line with this sign, then it would, without a doubt, be the Knight of Swords, the North Wind. But, given the connections between levels, the real state of affairs in relation to this sign will be quite complex and not so unambiguous.

A prolonged litigation will stir up the crowds. Accept it by means of the sign SEVENTH, SHI, ARMY. Sorrow overshadows a person ...

Summary. Divination interpretation

1. Public position, politics.

Caution, danger, failure. Conflicts that impede the progress of affairs cool the ardor. Not only all those who are nearby are to blame. Seek in yourself. The political struggle is doomed to failure. Unpreparedness, immaturity, ambition. But that's even better. Don't build castles in the air. Perhaps even removal from a high position, but for the benefit of the victim.

2. Business (everything connected with the material world, Taurus, Pentacles).

Business, money matters are also "slowed down" due to disagreement between the parties. A consensus should be sought, a compromise. It is not shown to open new enterprises, there are many opponents. The profit is negligible.

3. Relationships (love, gender relations, family life)

Love relationships do not add up, there is discord in the family, a divorce is possible. As a rule, the woman is to blame - Yin, who, suffering from ambition, tries to take over.

4. Interpersonal relationships.

Interpersonal relationships do not add up, although friends remain faithful.

5. Health (on the physical and subtle planes).

Deterioration of health, the state of the nervous system. Vegetovascular dystonia.

6. Trend.

Establishing relationships with the world of being in all aspects.

ARCANUS XX, COURT. NINE OF WANDS

Arcana of decreasing positive, Arcana with a small module, "two", which means difficulties that need to be overcome in all areas of life.

A karmic "bias" characterizes Arcanum XX, Judgment.

You can overcome negative trends in this situation by working off your karmic debts. Persistently resist troubles, cultivate in yourself the desire to improve the world in which you live, and yourself. Intelligence and endurance are the main tools in the fight against karmic negatives. Help someone wholeheartedly, take care of elderly relatives, donate to charity.

Vera Sklyarova. Card canon "I-Ching"

ADAPTED VERSION

You feel disharmony. A conflict is brewing. Be humble and reserved; if someone throws a glove at you, don't pick it up. Try to moderate your demands, do not embark on any undertakings alone until circumstances change for the better. On the contrary, take part in joint work with someone. Let everything go in its own order, then peace and quiet will come, and you will once again be convinced that life's problems not only depress, but also teach.

TITLE

Song (Litigation): to discuss, defend one's point of view, demand justice, speak before a judge or ruler; file a complaint, start a lawsuit; disputes, bickering, discussions; correct, pronounce, judge, resolve a conflict. The hieroglyph depicts the sign of a government official and implies an appeal to authority.

SERIES

This is the time to clearly express your point of view without the need to take aggressive action. If you cannot win the argument, try to resolve the conflict or walk away from it. Since there is a connection with the spirits in the situation, you should not be alarmed. First of all, observe the golden mean. Do not give in to anger or passion. This will open the way (happiness). The intensification of the dispute and discord close the way (misfortune). Look for people whose influence can help you. Recognize the greatness in yourself. This will bring benefits and enlightenment. Now is not the time to start a new project or step into the river of life with a purpose. There are too many conflicting movements around. Time is not conducive to harmony, people and ideas argue with each other. Don't try to put everything together. The sky is preparing something new. Express your views and see where it leads. If necessary, be prepared to compromise or retreat.
