Shih Ho has been called 'Biting Through' and 'Gnawing'. These titles view
the hexagram as an open mouth into which the firm line of the fourth place is
placed as an obstruction like a gag or horse's bit. The idea of bridling is
extended to include criminal punishment. The image of thunder becoming light
is traditionally viewed as quick justice when misdeeds are brought unveiled.
Thunder becoming light is also the bursting of the sound barrier, and thus
'Acceleration'. In astral terms, this balanced figure implies an aspect of
opposition between brash Mercury and law-giving Jupiter. In Shih Ho, personal
initiatives judged worthy are quickly moved forward, while those branded as
wrong-doings are swiftly rectified.
Social Implications: the eldest son serving the middle daughters
young men seeking mature women
the discriminating leading the active
