16. Enthusiasm (Yu)

Thunder rising from earth. Represents inspiration, motivation, and readiness for action.

Line 1: Enthusiasm expressed brings misfortune. Wait for the right time to act.
Line 2: Firm as a rock. Not a whole day. Perseverance brings good fortune.
Line 3: Gazing upward for inspiration creates remorse. Delay brings remorse.
Line 4: The source of enthusiasm. Great achievements are possible. Doubt not. Friends gather around you like hair in a clasp.
Line 5: Persistently ill, and still does not die. Stay steadfast in difficulty.
Line 6: Deluded enthusiasm. But if after completion one changes, there is no blame.
