14. Great Possession (Great Abundance)
Light shines over everything, bringing great possession. Both wealth and career are flourishing and the harvest is generous — just stay humble and mindful, not swept up in pride.
Plain-Language Translation: Greatly prevailing.
Plain-Language Translation: Dayou — the yielding line occupies the place of honor, holding to great centrality, and all the lines above and below respond to it; hence it is called great possession. Its virtue is both firm and radiantly clear, moving in step with the times in accord with heaven, and so it is greatly prevailing.
Plain-Language Translation: Fire hangs high in the sky, illuminating everything, picturing great abundance; the noble person curbs what is bad, praises what is good, and follows heaven's benevolent mandate.
