The Army

Hexagram The Army shows where the situation asks not for fear-based guessing, but for the exact rhythm of change.

师：贞丈人吉，无咎。

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

The Army: constancy. A mature leader is auspicious. No blame.

丈人 is rendered as mature/experienced leader rather than fixed to one later technical title.

Line 1 · 爻辭

初六：师出以律，否臧，凶。

Initial Six: the army goes out by rules. If the rules are not good, misfortune.

否臧 is compressed; this draft reads it as failure of proper order rather than a separate divination formula.

Line 2 · 爻辭

九二：在师中吉，无咎；王三锡命。

Nine in the Second: in the midst of the army, auspicious. No blame. The king thrice grants a command.

师 and 王 belong to an ancient military-political setting. The draft preserves that setting rather than converting it into modern leadership or conflict advice.

Line 3 · 爻辭

六三：师或舆尸，凶。

Six in the Third: the army may carry corpses. Misfortune.

輿尸 is stark and historically concrete; the draft does not soften it into generic failure.

六四：师左次，无咎。

Six in the Fourth: the army encamps to the left. No blame.

Line 5 · 爻辭

六五：田有禽，利执言，无咎。长子帅师，弟子舆尸，贞凶。

Six in the Fifth: there is game in the field. It is beneficial to hold to the word. No blame. The elder son leads the army; the younger son carries corpses. Constancy: misfortune.

执言 is difficult; the draft keeps the idea of authorized declaration rather than turning it into literal speech advice.

Line 6 · 爻辭

上六：大君有命，开国承家，小人勿用。

Top Six: the great ruler has a mandate: found states and inherit households. Do not employ small people.

小人 is retained as a historical ethical-social category; it is not a statement about modern class or status.

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 theme sits in the field of discipline: it is important to see what has ripened and what still needs form.

Advice

Take one clear step, name the boundary, and do not turn the sign into a guarantee of outcome.

Caution

I Ching does not replace legal, medical, financial, or psychological help.

How to read lines

  • • First read The Army 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 Army 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 Army asks not “what will definitely happen,” but “which action is ripe now, and which is premature.”

Reflection questions

  • • Where is the movement here, and where is resistance?
  • • Which small step fits the timing?
  • • What must be accepted as fact?

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 Army” 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.
