This trigram consists of two identical trigrams (Qian below and Qian above), symbolizing Heaven, representing the dragon (a virtuous and talented person), and also symbolizing pure yang and strength, indicating prosperity and vitality. The Qian trigram teaches people to follow the principles of the universe and to maintain virtue through the four keywords "Yuan, Heng, Li, Zhen," which represent auspiciousness and guidance for life.
Career Very auspicious, everything goes smoothly, wishes come true, with divine protection, happy and successful career, like the sun at its peak. However, since yang energy has reached its peak, it will eventually decline, so one must be vigilant and cautious. Avoid arrogance, remain calm, and maintain a peaceful mind, which will allow one to fully utilize talent and ensure success in the career.
Business Very smooth, great opportunity for development. But do not rush, analyze the situation calmly, seize the opportunity, and maintain business ethics. Remain calm in the face of difficulties that may arise along the way, and satisfaction will be achieved.
Aspirations for Fame Potential ability has not yet been fully utilized. Further effort is needed, overcoming arrogance and self-satisfaction, and cultivating professional knowledge and noble character to gain the name of a gentleman.
Travel Beneficial for travel, traveling in groups is better.
Marriage Yang is strong and yin is weak, but a balance between the two can lead to a beautiful outcome. A gentle woman is even better.
Decisions One can achieve great things. By maintaining the essence of this trigram—strength, righteousness, and fairness—and by cultivating virtue, accumulating knowledge, and maintaining firm belief, one can overcome difficulties and eliminate disasters.
Interpretation by Zhang Mingren from Taiwan:
Heaven represents the ultimate yang, a pure trigram and a six-way trigram, symbolizing both great good and great bad. It is generally an auspicious sign, representing leadership and responsibility, suitable for taking on major tasks or starting one's own business, and obtaining this trigram is considered auspicious. However, having a good assistant is more beneficial, and promotions, exams, and promotions are more favorable.
