Hexagram 14 · ☲ over ☰
Great Possession
Da You
The judgment
A moment of great abundance — resources, influence and capacity are at their height. The hexagram asks how this richness is used: with humility and generosity it multiplies; held tightly or used arrogantly it invites the forces that level all high things.
The image. Fire burns above heaven — warmth and light reaching everywhere below.
Guidance
Acknowledge what you hold without pride and share it with wisdom. Gratitude and genuine generosity are what keep great fortune stable and growing.
How it’s built
Every hexagram is two trigrams — the lower one beneath the upper. This one is Qián below Lí.
☲Upper · Firethe Clinging — light, clarity, beauty, the middle daughter
☰Lower · Heaventhe Creative — strength, the sky, the active force, the father
