Hexagram 42 益

Static hexagram, no changing lines

Original author’s interpretation summary

The author selects the Chen Earth Wife / wealth line at the host position as Yongshen. Wu-Xu belongs to the Jia-Wu cycle, with Chen and Si void. Day branch Xu clashes with the host-position line’s branch Chen; the text explains the day’s change as a clash filling the void.

Outcome reported in the book

The text records obtaining wealth that day, with Chen noted in the account. This is the author’s individual retrospective report. Without a person, year or other historical evidence, the site cannot independently verify it.

Site review boundaries

  1. This is static Wind-over-Thunder Yi. The text lists no changing lines and no resulting hexagram.
  2. Wu-Xu belongs to the Jia-Wu cycle, with Chen and Si void. The Chen–Xu clash can be checked using the site’s fixed branch relation table.
  3. A clash filling the void and wealth obtained that day are historical divination interpretations, not inputs to modern financial judgments on this site.

Reading boundaries

Reported outcomes represent the original author’s account, not independent historical verification. This case is not an automatic interpretation template for a user’s present result.

Topic tags identify structures involved in this case, not divinatory efficacy verified by the site.

Working translation of the site’s Chinese editorial case review, not a translation of the classical source. Native-language review is pending; original source names and locators remain in Chinese.

Ten-day-cycle void

Structural implementation

The day’s ten-day cycle determines two void branches. Both works discuss further conditions involving phase strength, changing or unchanging lines, and clashes that fill the void. This site calculates only the day pillar’s cycle and void branches and lists the relevant line positions; it does not apply subsequent judgments such as being void yet not void.

Cycle void is a calendrical structure, not a statement that an undertaking is ineffective. It does not automatically determine outcomes or timing.

Six clashes

Fixed branch-pair implementation

The site separates clashes between individual line branches, clashes of month or day references with line branches, and the traditional six-clash hexagram classification. Six fixed branch pairs are calculable, but these different levels cannot be merged just because they share a name.

Six clash is a structural term, not an automatic statement of separation, failure or a change in illness.
