Hexagram 56 — 旅 (Lǚ), The Wanderer
Above: ☲ 离 Fire Below: ☶ 艮 Mountain
The Judgment
小亨，旅贞吉。
The traveler — in transient circumstances modesty and correct conduct bring small success and good fortune.
The Image (Daxiang)
「山上有火，旅；君子以明慎用刑，而不留狱。」Fire on the mountain — the noble person applies penalty clearly and swiftly, leaving no case pending.—— 《周易·大象传》（The Image Commentary）
The Tuan Commentary
彖曰：旅，小亨，柔得中乎外而顺乎刚，止而丽乎明，是以小亨旅贞吉也。旅之时义大矣哉！——《易传·彖传》

In Plain Terms
In transit — travel light and mind your manners. When you receive this hexagram, hold the judgment beside your question: it describes a posture and a season, not a script.
