卦辞The Judgement
震：亨。震来虩虩，笑言哑哑；震惊百里，不丧匕鬯。Zhèn. Prosperous and smooth. The thunder comes — startled, startled! Laughing and talking — ha, ha! The thunder rouses a hundred li. The sacrificial spoon and chalice are not spilled.
突如其来的震动、惊吓、剧变——可能是危机、变故、突发事件。震居东方，五行属木——双震相叠，雷一个接一个打。东方是“帝出乎震”之位，万物从雷声中惊醒。但震动也是一种唤醒——能让人从麻木中觉醒。要保持冷静、临危不乱、内心定。
A sudden tremor, a fright, a violent change — it may be a crisis, an accident, a shock. Zhèn sits in the east, element Wood — two Zhèn stacked, thunderclap upon thunderclap. The east is the place where “the ruler comes forth in Zhèn,” where all things wake at the sound of thunder. But the tremor is also a wakening; it can rouse one from numbness. Stay cool, do not lose composure in the face of danger, hold the inside firm.
大象The Image
《象》曰：洊雷，震；君子以恐惧修省。Thunder upon thunder: the image of the Arousing. The noble one, accordingly, in fear and trembling sets himself in order and examines himself.

The shock makes you start — Zhèn's Wood, first line, the thunder just sounded — yet once steadied, you can laugh; one who recovers from a fright and reflects ends in good fortune — but afterward you can laugh. To recover from a fright and reflect on it is itself good fortune.
六二，震来，厉；亿丧贝，跻于九陵，勿逐，七日得。The thunder comes. Danger. Great loss of treasures. Climbing the nine hills. Do not chase. In seven days, regained.

The shock is real and the loss great (the treasures lost) — Zhèn's Wood centered, the thunder at its loudest — the goods lost, fleeing to high ground; don't chase, in seven days they return — flee to high ground. Do not chase the loss; in seven days it returns of itself. What the shock takes away, time will give back.

Thunder leaves you dazed, uneasy — Zhèn's Wood at the third line, the thunder rolling on — but keep moving and there's no harm; don't be stunned into stillness — but as long as you keep moving, you avoid harm. Don't be stunned into stillness.
九四，震遂泥。The thunder comes. Stuck in the mud.
震动后陷入泥泞——震木到四爻，雷打到泥里了——动弹不得，不发挥真正的本事就过去了，动弹不得。这种状态下，不发挥真正的本事就过去了。
After the shock, mired — Zhèn's Wood at the fourth line, the thunder struck into mud — stuck fast, the moment passing without one's real ability brought out — unable to move. In a state like this, one cannot bring out one's real ability; let the moment pass.
六五，震往来，厉；亿无丧，有事。The thunder comes, back and forth. Danger. No great loss. There are matters to attend to.

The thunder comes from every direction — Zhèn's Wood centered but a yin line — hold the center, protect the core, and the loss stays small; the heart of the shock is composure — dangerous, but if one holds the center and protects the core the damage is small. The heart of the matter is composure.
上六，震索索，视矍矍，征凶；震不于其躬，于其邻，无咎；婚媾有言。The thunder comes — trembling, trembling. Gazes about, wild. Going forward: misfortune. If the thunder does not reach oneself but only the neighbor, no fault. There are words from the in-laws.
震动让人手足无措、目光涣散——震木到极处，雷声远了但余威尚在——前进会凶，但震动还没到自己身上、只到邻居那里，借机警惕、避开就好，前进会凶。但震动还没到自己身上、只到邻居那里——所以借机警惕、避开就好。
The shock leaves one helpless and dazed — Zhèn's Wood at its extreme, the thunder distant but its menace lingering — forward brings misfortune, yet the shock has struck the neighbor, not you; take it as warning and step aside — to move forward brings misfortune. But since the danger has only struck the neighbor and not you, take it as a warning and step away — that is enough.
