Due to the loss of earlier ledgers, there is no specific creation time data for XRP online, so the Mountain Lord can only use the Book of Changes to cast yarrow stalks for everyone regarding XRP.
Using the number of fifty from the Great Continuation to cast yarrow stalks, the primary hexagram is 'Family,' and the changing hexagram is 'Small Accumulation.' According to the Western Han (Jiao's Book of Changes), the hexagram text reads:
Bright Sun, eclipsed by the Moon. Harming the Upper and Destroying the Lower, Zheng Zhao's Exodus.
The mutual departure represents the sun, and the 'Dui' represents the moon. The 'Dui' invades half of the 'Li' entity, hence it is said the sun is eclipsed by the moon. 'Xun' represents harm, being on top, hence it is said to harm the upper. 'Dui' destroys and breaks, being on the bottom, thus it is said to destroy the lower. 'Fu Kan' represents Zheng, and 'Li' represents Zhao. Duke Zhao of Zheng was suddenly expelled in the eleventh year of Duke Huan's reign. Below, 'Ji Gu' is considered on top. Based on the Song edition.
Interpreting the hexagram: First, let’s discuss the background of this hexagram. Duke Zhao of Zheng was the fifth ruler of the State of Zheng during the Spring and Autumn period. In 700 BC, he was expelled from Zheng and fled to the State of Wei due to disagreements with the powerful minister Ji Zhong. In ancient thoughts of cosmic responses, a solar eclipse was considered an ominous sign of "Yin invading Yang," often used to explain abnormal changes in the relationship between rulers and subjects.
"Bright Sun" symbolizes the authority of the ruler, "Eclipsed by the Moon" uses the phenomenon of a solar eclipse to imply the abnormal relationship between ruler and subjects. "Harming the Upper and Destroying the Lower" refers to the collapse of the power structure, injuring both the higher and lower authorities. "Zheng Zhao's Exodus" uses the historical anecdote of Duke Zhao of Zheng being expelled by the powerful minister during the Spring and Autumn period, implying the fate of those in power losing their positions. The bright sun (symbolizing the ruler) is obscured by the moon (symbolizing the subjects seizing power). It injures the higher authorities and destroys the lower ones, much like Duke Zhao of Zheng being forced to flee to another state.
As for whether XRP in this hexagram represents the powerful minister Ji Zhong or Duke Zhao of Zheng, whether it is the moon obscuring (symbolizing the subjects seizing power) or the bright sun (symbolizing the ruler), the Mountain Lord is not at liberty to disclose too much. However, the hexagram text is not as straightforward as it seems; it often involves changing lines, related hexagrams, erroneous hexagrams, figurative interpretations, and other secret techniques of hexagram interpretation. Therefore, it requires professionals to provide answers, and during the casting process, there are secret transmissions, so apart from the individual casting the hexagram, others cannot accurately interpret it. In summary, I hope family members do not take the hexagram text out of context and fall into misunderstandings, to avoid potential investment risks.
Observing the stars to discern fortune, using technique to know the heavens. I am the Mountain Lord, awaiting you all to discuss the secrets of heaven!
