Hexagram interpretation:
"Family" means members of a household. It can also be interpreted as "family fortune" or "family business." According to common sense, men work outside the home, and women manage household affairs inside. In the context of the hexagram, the strong yang at the fifth line is appropriately positioned in the outer trigram, and the soft yin at the second line is also appropriately arranged in the inner trigram. The entire hexagram signifies that the husband works diligently outside, while the wife is fully occupied with domestic matters inside. This is a harmonious interaction between yin and yang, embodying the great principles of family affairs and leading to prosperity. Furthermore, the upper trigram, Xun (wind), represents women in menopause, while the lower trigram, Li (fire), represents middle-aged women. The fact that women in menopause are correctly positioned above middle-aged women indicates a proper arrangement of seniority. This signifies that family affairs are in order and the household is prosperous. Therefore, it is named the "Family" hexagram.

Annotation

The immortal's wondrous methods descend from the divine and pure. Charging the enemy and breaking through trials of the mortal world, they put forth their best efforts, leading to success. Having shattered the enemy and overcome countless tribulations, they are fortunate to return with news of victory. Finally, the family reunites in love and harmony.

Vernacular

(This fortune slip cannot be directly translated as there is no story source, so it is interpreted literally.) According to the meaning of the fortune slip, it is possible that Wu Delong received the assistance of an immortal's wondrous methods, charged into battle, and broke through the enemy's formations, enduring many tribulations along the way. Fortunately, he returned victorious with a swift report of success, and finally, his whole family was reunited and loving each other.

Fortune telling by lot

Interpreted through poetry, this is a good divination. Returning in triumph and reuniting with family, this is a divination with a conclusion. Regarding wealth: diligent management will surely bring profit. Lost items: can be found mid-month. Marriage: an agreement can be reached. Fame/Success: can be achieved through diligence. Endeavors: can be accomplished on the second try. Farming: late winter is good. Illness: the "official ghost" (representing illness) is hidden beneath亥 water and the cause cannot be found. One must wait until 亥 is empty, then the "official ghost" will appear, and treatment can be prescribed. (When the "official ghost" is hidden and also empty, the illness is difficult to cure).

Divination Meaning

This hexagram is named "Jia Ren" (The Family), signifying the people within a family. It reveals the principle that within a family, the male should be authoritative and the female submissive, and that they should jointly govern with righteousness and strictness. This principle of household management is then extended to the universal principle of governing a nation and bringing peace to the world. Wind can enhance the might of fire, and fire generates wind. They assist each other in cooperation, much like family members working together harmoniously to develop ventures externally. Furthermore, Xun represents the eldest daughter, and Li represents the middle daughter. This signifies order between the elder and younger, and the prosperity of a united family.
