Description of external and hidden hexagrams
In the manifested world, a huge flame shot up into the heavens. In life, there are many passions and emotions caused by various problems.
Everything hidden in the darkness became visible. Illumination. This leads to clarification of the issues. Insight helps to understand the cause of anxiety, to find a way to solve the problem.
The flame quickly goes out, but hot coals will smolder for a long time. Illumination passes quickly, but its appearance will bring results for a long time.
Where the flames of the fire blazed, there will be flat burnt earth. Where the flame of emotions blazed, there will be complete peace and security. Problems will be successfully solved.
On the SUBCONSCIOUS, dangerous waves are walking in the vast expanses of the blue ocean. There are many very dangerous situations.
In the depths at the bottom of the ocean, a mountain begins to grow. From the depths of the subconscious, a decision begins to come how to stabilize the situation.
Soon the mountain will come to the surface and push the ocean far beyond the horizon. The danger will go away. Calmness and firmness will fill the subtle plan.
General interpretation of hexagram No. 35
In the manifested world, insight helps eliminate the cause of anxiety, solve the problem. PROGRESS. As a result, the situation will not only stabilize (the fire of passions will go out), but will even become more calm and protected than ever.
On a subtle level, the situation is similar. The danger goes away, unshakable faith in yourself and calmness fill everything on the subconscious. PROGRESS.
Both in the manifested reality and in the subconscious, the earth fills everything everywhere. Emotions and danger will go away, complete security comes, provision with everything necessary and impenetrable darkness (double earth)! PROGRESS.

The Jin hexagram is a harbinger of good luck, a bright and joyful period will soon come, good luck is about to make you a happy person. All that is required of you is in no case to slow down the pace of progress towards your dream and not to take risks without special need. Everything is going well - just don't hurt yourself.
The eve of good luck is the most joyful period of life, because you are already looking forward to success, it is almost a stone's throw away, you can even already feel the thrill of victory. Every day or hour, you are getting closer to your cherished dream. This state is intoxicating, for some time it may even seem that it is deceptive, but ... luck really will come, everything will go well.
As mentioned above, happiness is approaching you, but you should be careful with yourself, because you can ruin everything because of negligence, and then luck at the moment will turn out to be a tragedy or, at best, a difficult problem, the solution of which will require from a lot of time, money and effort. So try not to change anything - just live as you lived before, you should not be led by the feeling of victory and do something else. Best the enemy of the good. Do not risk in vain, now nothing positive will come of this in any case. Stay smart.
Also, the Jin hexagram can mean meeting someone you know, usually someone you have known for a long time. It is not known what this meeting will bring - maybe joy, maybe not. But in any case, so that she does not cause negative consequences, in no case do not violate your plans for her sake, do not refuse work, do not sacrifice your main time. It is likely that you are simply tempted - stumble, and immediately return to where you started from. The meeting should be part of the natural and familiar rhythm of life, and not go across it.

General interpretation according to Yu. Shutsky
The image given in this hexagram is deciphered from the images of the trigrams that make it up. Here below is a trigram denoting the earth, and above is the radiance, which is sometimes interpreted as the sun, i.e. before us is a picture of the sun rising above the earth, which is also indicated by the very name of the hexagram, which we translate accordingly with this word - Sunrise.If we compare this hexagram with the previous ones, then the next line of development of the situation is outlined. You need to start with the 31st hexagram, which is a synthesis of all previously acquired qualities and forces in their complete fusion, in marriage.
Further, it was said that these forces must be subjected to some permanent law, after which this permanent law should be tested and deepened in the solitude of a person who has retired from activity for a while.
This solitude leads to the development of that great
power, which in the future can guarantee favorable activity outside. Only after all these situations can finally appear that which represents the real exit to the outside, symbolized in the image of the sun rising above the earth.
But in such a way outward, it is absolutely necessary to direct one's activity not only for the benefit of oneself, but also for the benefit of the people around. Here, more than anywhere else, total generosity must be shown. Just as the sun generously distributes its rays to the entire environment, so the activity of a person should be directed to the benefit of all the people around him.
Thus, activity can be deciphered, of course, on different scales, because a person's environment can extend to a greater or lesser number of people. But Wan Yi here even speaks of the development of generosity to cosmic dimensions.
However, this is on the conscience of this commentator, because the text in the "Book of Changes", which took shape in the specific conditions of early feudal society in China, expressed this in images that still have nothing to do with the cosmic scope of thoughts.
In the text, these thoughts are expressed as follows: Sunrise. The illustrious prince should be granted horses in great abundance and receive subjects three times in the cycle of the day.
The illustrious prince should be granted horses and receive (subjects) three times in the cycle of the day.
In advance and in retreat! - (If you remain in) steadfastness, (there will be) happiness. There will be no truth. (But if you treat this) with equanimity, (then) there will be no blasphemy.
In promotion and depression! - (If you remain in) steadfastness, (there will be) happiness. You will receive such great prosperity from the mother of your king.
The trust of many. - Remorse will disappear.
(If) you advance like a hamster, (then) stamina (will be) dangerous.
Repentance will disappear. Take neither loss nor gain to heart. - Performance - fortunately, nothing adverse.
Show your horns only to punish (your) city. - (The position) is dangerous, (but it is) - fortunately: there will be no blasphemy. Durability, unfortunately.

The illustrious prince should be granted horses in great abundance and receive subjects three times in the cycle of the day.
1
In the first position, where this process is just beginning, the coming outward, the rise has not yet been outlined with complete obviousness. He is still indecisive to a certain extent, so that sometimes he even resembles a retreat. Therefore, it is possible that less empathetic people will not be able to notice the performance itself. And therefore, a person who is characterized in this situation may not meet the trust of others. However, he must learn to look at such non-recognition of his rising from those around him as something self-evident and treat those around him with complete generosity. Then blowjob this situation, and a person will still get the opportunity for a brilliant manifestation of his activity outside. Therefore, the text says here (slight discrepancies compared to the translation given above are explained by the fact that this is an interpretation from the point of view of Wan Yi): At the beginning, a weak line. If, while advancing and retreating, you remain steadfast, there will be happiness. There will be no trust. But if you treat it generously, then there will be no blasphemy.
2
The second position, as the apogee of the internal development of the hexagram, indicates the presence of a person in himself. For such a person who is in a situation of sunrise, being only in himself is inextricably linked with some depression. However, having realized that this depression is a temporary state, a person can continue to strive steadfastly for his sunrise. In any case, his stamina will eventually lead to a favorable outcome, and this is especially because here a person can count on outside support. According to the symbolism of the "Book of Changes", this support can come from the one who is designated by the fifth position of this hexagram. Since the fifth position is occupied here by a weak feature that characterizes a woman, and since the fifth position in the social context is symbolized by the sovereign (the word "leader" is restored paleographically, a later understanding of the word is given here), insofar as it speaks of the support of the sovereign's mother. In the text, this is expressed in the following words: Weak trait in second place. If you remain steadfast in speech and depression, then there will be happiness. You will receive such great favor from the mother of your sovereign.
3
If in most cases the third position is associated with a crisis that precedes going out, then here, where the whole situation is going out, the third position is devoid of its characteristic feature of the crisis as something negative. On the contrary, here finally appears such a manifestation of a person in the external, which is perceived by the people around him, and therefore the trust on the part of other people, which was not shown to the person who stands in the given situation in the first position, is fully present here. Therefore, the text here only says: Weak trait in third place. The trust of many. Repentance will disappear.
4
The mistake that can be made in the fourth position is as follows. The fourth position is only preparatory to the fifth, because the center of the hexagram is in the fifth. The fourth position, so if used erroneously, it can become something like a fake, replacing the real with fake. This is expressed in the image of a hamster. By the way, Wan Yi, in order to make this exotic image understandable, tells the following: “Once upon a time, having just arrived in the Ming region, I saw a man selling a white hare. People, arguing with each other, wanted to buy it for 100 gold coins, but they did not succeed. The merchant fed a lot of hares, and then the price for them gradually fell to one money with something. Fans of strangeness tried to kill them and boil them, but they were so fetid that it was impossible to eat them. And it became so that not a single person bought them. We can say that this is not a white hare, but just a hamster. Alas! In essence, he is an insignificant rat, and he was fraudulently given the name of a white hare. This means that he, not having the necessary merits, took a high place. So it is with people of this kind." After this story, perhaps the image given in the text will seem strange to us: A strong trait is in fourth place. If you move out like a hamster, then the stamina will be terrible.
5
The fifth feature, representing the most perfect manifestation outside, is most of all associated with the image that is given in the symbolism of the trigrams that make up this hexagram. This sun, rising above the earth, is so full of strength and so generous that no loss and no gain can upset him. And the person who occupies this position, correcting all the mistakes he made in the past, in full generosity gives his strength to the environment. This is reflected in the text in the following words: Weak trait in fifth place. Repentance will disappear. Take neither loss nor gain to heart. Nothing inauspicious.
6
Since the third feature of the upper trigram is strong (as the maximum manifestation of this radiance on the outside), most of all characterizes the qualities of radiance, to the extent that in society the unfavorable sixth position here is devoid of this quality. But this is only an external manifestation of radiance, completely devoid of essence, as something most extreme that has gone outside, it is expressed in the form of horns. They may be an outward manifestation, but only an outward manifestation. And here is an image of clarity on the outside in the absence of clarity on the inside. Therefore, the forces present in a person here can, of course, be enough for some deed, but it is not as great as the deed of generosity expressed in the previous position. Nevertheless, in general, the favorable nature of this position (of course, only in the context of this hexagram) is expressed in the text as follows: Above is a strong feature. Show your horns only to punish your city. This situation is terrible, but it is fortunate. There will be no bullshit. Resilience unfortunately.
