This powerful hexagram, which literally means "heaven" supporting the "earth, " indicates peace and favourable times. This is a sign of prosperity, plenty and success. Heaven and the Earth are in spiritual contact at this time, and harmony exists between them. Positive energy overwhelms and it is the responsibility of all to use and channel that energy wisely and for good.
泰：小往大來，吉亨。
彖曰：
泰，小往大來，吉亨。
則是天地交而萬物通也，上下交而其志同也。
內陽而外陰，內健而外順，內君子而外小人，君子道長，小人道消也。
象曰：
天地交，泰；後以財成天地之道，輔相天地之宜，以左右民。
拔茅征吉，志在外也。
包荒，得尚于中行，以光大也。
无往不復，天地際也。
翩翩不富，皆失實也。不戒以孚，中心願也。

城復于隍，其命亂也。
上六：城復于隍，勿用師，自邑告命，貞吝。
"The Castle Wall Tumbles to the Moat"
This changing line at the top of the hexagram suggests that a time of peace and prosperity may be coming to an end. That which was depended upon is now leaving rapidly. As peace and prosperity disappear, make note of who and what is truly important. A time of unfortunate changes is at hand. Security is threatened and that which seemed stable is now imbalanced.
六四：翩翩，不富以其鄰；不戒以孚。
"Not Boasting of Wealth"
This changing line offers a stern warning to those who would advertise their own success. Those who boast may be reminded harshly that it was luck which made them successful. At this time immodesty is fraught with peril. The wise person treats all people equally. Such actions lead to greater success at this time.
九二：包荒。用馮河，不遐遺；朋亡。得尚于中行。
"Tolerate the Uncultured"
In times of prosperity, it is important to show tolerance both to those who have not shared in success, or to those who use their success in uncultured ways. The message in this changing line is that rubbing shoulders with all types while demeaning no one, is a path to even greater success and enlightenment.
初九：拔茅茹以其彙，征吉。
"When Grass is Uprooted, Other Plants Follow"
A change in this line at the base of the hexagram of Peace reminds us that forces that affect one person, also affect surrounding people. Another way of saying this is: "A rising tide lifts all ships". In times of prosperity, there are many paths to success.
䷷, fifty-sixth, 旅 (lǚ), "Sojourning" or "the wanderer" and "travelling".
