Hexagram 13 — 同人 (Tóng Rén), Fellowship

Above: ☰ 乾 Heaven Below: ☲ 离 Fire

The Judgment

同人于野,亨。利涉大川,利君子贞。

Fellowship in the open field succeeds. Universal, honest association enables great crossings.

The Image (Daxiang)

「天与火,同人;君子以类族辨物。」Heaven and fire together — the noble person discerns kinship and sorts things aright.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)

The Tuan Commentary

彖曰:同人,柔得位得中,而应乎乾,曰同人。同人曰,同人于野,亨。利涉大川,乾行也。文明以健,中正而应,君子正也。唯君子为能通天下之志。——《易传·彖传》

The Six Line Texts

初九同人于门,无咎。
六二同人于宗,吝。
九三伏戎于莽,升其高陵,三岁不兴。
九四乘其墉,弗克攻,吉。
九五同人先号咷而后笑,大师克相遇。
上九同人于郊,无悔。

In Plain Terms

Build open, honest fellowship across groups. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
