The judgement
It is hexagram 35 of the I Ching, formed by the Earth trigram below and the Fire one above: six lines, three for each trigram. Progress is the sun rising over the earth. Clarity that emerges, recognition. Advance with loyalty toward those who can see you.
Trigrams
- Lower
- 坤 Earth

What it means today
You are becoming visible. Prepare the work so that it can bear the light. Progress is not vanity: it is a wider service.
Classic image
Light rises over the earth. The wise person illuminates their own virtue alone, without asking for a spotlight.
Love
In love a public step — introducing, living together, declaring — is coherent if the private is already true.
Work
At work, visibility, promotion, publication. Bring merits, not only networking.
Relationships
In relationships, let yourself be seen. Hiding now would be a false humility.
Decisions
Yes to an exit into the light. Prepare the proofs, not only the clothes.
