The Judgment
利贞,亨。畜牝牛,吉。
Fire clings to fuel — clarity shines through gentleness and attachment to what is right brings success.
The Image (Daxiang)
「明两作,离;大人以继明照于四方。」Bright light doubled — the great one carries illumination to the four quarters.—— 《周易·大象传》(The Image Commentary)
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰:离,丽也;日月丽乎天,百谷草木丽乎土,重明以丽乎正,乃化成天下。柔丽乎中正,故亨;是以畜牝牛吉也。——《易传·彖传》

Clarity shines — stay gentle and attached to what's right. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
