坤：元亨。利牝马之贞。 君子有攸往，先迷后得主。 利西南得朋，东北丧朋。安贞，吉。

Translation · final OmenHall editorial review, not independent-human/academic verified

Kun: originating and free passage. The constancy of a mare is beneficial. If the noble person has somewhere to go, first there is confusion, afterward a guide is gained. In the southwest it is beneficial to gain companions; in the northeast, companions are lost. Peaceful constancy: auspicious.

主 is left semantically open as a guiding/mastering reference; the directional formula is not converted into modern geographic advice.

Line 1 · 爻辭

初六：履霜，坚冰至。

Initial Six: treading on frost; solid ice is arriving.

The line is rendered as an observed sequence of signs, not as a deterministic forecast.

六二：直方大，不习无不利。

Six in the Second: straight, square, great. Without rehearsal, nothing is unfavorable.

不習 is difficult and has competing readings; 'without rehearsal' is intentionally marked as draft-level and should receive later philological review.

Line 3 · 爻辭

六三：含章，可贞。或从王事，无成有终。

Six in the Third: containing pattern, it is possible to remain constant. Perhaps follow the king's affairs: do not claim the accomplishment; there is completion.

含章 and 無成有終 are textually compact and interpretively contested; the draft preserves their tension instead of smoothing it into generic advice.

六四：括囊，无咎无誉。

Six in the Fourth: a tied sack. No blame; no praise.

The image is kept literal; strategic implications belong to the OmenHall interpretation layer.

六五：黄裳，元吉。

Six in the Fifth: a yellow lower garment. Great auspiciousness.

Symbolic associations of yellow and the lower garment belong in historically labeled commentary, not silently inside the source translation.

Top Six: dragons battle in the wild. Their blood is dark and yellow.

玄黃 is retained as the paired colors; cosmological elaboration belongs to later commentary layers.

用六 · use of the Sixes

用六：利永贞。

Use of the Sixes: lasting constancy is beneficial.

永貞 is kept as lasting constancy; doctrinal interpretation is kept out of the core translation.

Ten Wings · 十翼 · later commentary

Mapped commentary context

10/10 remote pinned · 0/10 local validated
彖傳上 · Tuan Commentary I象傳上 · Image Commentary I文言傳 · Words on the Text

Ten Wings: 10/10 segments have pinned remote source identity, while validated local text remains 0/10. This reading therefore exposes provenance/context mapping only and inserts no commentary text. Tuan/Xiang/Wenyan remain separate from Zhouyi Core; Xici/Shuogua/Xugua/Zagua are not presented as if they directly comment on this specific cast.

Ten Wings provenance / segmentation

registry: ICHING_TEN_WINGS_SOURCE_REGISTRY_V2_20260827

context map: ICHING_TEN_WINGS_CONTEXT_MAP_V1_20260827

Association of the Ten Wings with Confucius may be described as traditional attribution, not as an established modern historical fact.

Wikisource currently presents 彖 in one page and splits 象 as 大象/小象. Those web-page divisions are not adopted as OmenHall canonical wing boundaries. OmenHall keeps traditional 彖上/下 and 象上/下 by upper/lower hexagram canon, while 大象/小象 remain internal Xiang subtypes.

The attribution/ShareAlike engineering path is prepared for 10/10 segments, but the owner's license-path acceptance remains pending. Kanseki's published label is retained as “CC BY SA” without inventing an unstated version.

OmenHall completed its own AI-assisted editorial review of 450/450 source-bound RU/EN translations and applied 13 final corrections. This is a product editorial baseline, not independent human or academic verification: human sign-off 0/450, academic VERIFIED 0/450. Philological notes remain visible for 353/450 higher-risk passages.

Ten Wings: 10/10 remote source identities are pinned and canonical segmentation is mapped; validated local text 0/10. This is a separate later scholar/commentary layer. Until a local validated corpus exists it stays fail-closed and does not block the core Zhouyi content/logic freeze.

OmenHall modern interpretation must be labeled as modern application, never as translation or ancient commentary.

OmenHall modern interpretation · the section below is modern application. It is not a translation of the Zhouyi and it is not the Ten Wings.

Situation

The situation asks not to seize control, but to create conditions.

Advice

Listen, gather data, support the process, and do not force growth.

Caution

Receptivity is not passivity and not consent to mistreatment.

How to read lines

  • • First read The Receptive as the state of the question, not as a promise of an event.
  • • If there are changing lines, they show not a second prediction, but the place where the situation has begun to move.
  • • The resulting hexagram is read as the direction of transformation, not as a guaranteed outcome.

A changing line does not cancel the main hexagram. It shows the seam through which the old form is already turning into a new one.

For day and decision

Daily I Ching

On a The Receptive day, look for one small step that fits the rhythm of the moment. Do not turn the whole day into a hexagram test.

I Ching for decisions

For a decision, The Receptive asks not “what will definitely happen,” but “which action is ripe now, and which is premature.”

Reflection questions

  • • What must be accepted as fact?
  • • What conditions support growth?
  • • Where do I confuse softness with surrender?

Small practice

  • • Write the question in one line without naming another person if it can be phrased through your own choice.
  • • Mark what is already fact, what is fear, and what is still only assumption.
  • • After the reading, choose one step for the next 24 hours, not a plan for your entire fate.

Journal

  • • Where does the theme of “The Receptive” appear in my situation?
  • • What fact must I accept before asking for a sign?
  • • Which step is small enough not to break the balance?

Reading boundary

I Ching in OmenHall does not diagnose, replace professionals, or guarantee the future. It is a language of timing, choice, and proportion.

The best ending for an I Ching reading is to name one fact, one risk, one step, and one time when you will return to the question without compulsive repetition.
