Pe is the appointed for recent illness. it's unlucky if the appointed is bounded, so the combo is  bad. Fortunately, Pe is empty, good for recently  illness . These two cancels each other out.

The bad part is day w is striking Gt, causing it to move, killing the appointed. The upper trigram form a metal combo, increasing Gt's power. His illness is sever.

He died on h VIII, when Pe came out of emptiness and got striked.

The appointed is P, for recent illness, emptiness is a good thing, but bounding is bad. here P yo is empty but bounding to date cn, so we can't draw any conclusion from this.

The 3rd line enemy star G w is moving to kill the appointed. But right now Gw is empty, since it turned into an empty Pyo, so she is ok for now. She will be in trouble when yo comes out of emptiness.

She died on yo day hour m.

K w is the appointed.  Month you is producing the bearer Ph. helping him to kill the hider Kw . Kw doesn't have any support from month. day or moving line therefor it's extremely weak.

The man died on w day w hour.


A man asks when his wife will recover from her illness

G m is the appointed. The 4th line helper star K h moves and truns into Bs that produces back. Right now G m is empty.  When it's no longer empty, the wife will recover.

The wife recoverd the next day y I.

But why didn't recover on day m II, instead? To understand this, we need to understand what causes emptyness.

The anciant Chiness use 10 day "weeks" called Xun. I think in Tang dynasty goverment employees got 1 day off for every 10 day week. A Xun starts on a celestral stem I day and ends on a celcstral stem X day. However, there are 12 earthly branches that goes with stems, so 2 branches wouldn't appears in a Xun. These 2 branches are called empty or void branches. When a week is over and a bew week starts,  these 2 branches will appear in the new week and therefore no longer empty.

So in the week containing the day with stem-branch pair c X, y and m branches do not appear and therefore empty. A soon as the week is over, both y and m come out of emptiness. That's why on  y-I day,  G m  came out of emptiness too.

Why is emptiness so important in I Ching timing? When a line is empty,  you can think as if it "went on a vacation ". it wont do it's job untill it comes  to work from the vacation.  So if the enemy star is empty. it won't attack untill it's not empty. If the helper star is empty, it won't produce untill it's not empty. If the appointed star is empty, the enemy star can't attack it untill it's not empty, and the helper star can't produce it untill it's not emp

Influence over others should not express itself as a conscious and willed effort to manipulate them. Through practicing such conscious incitement, one becomes wrought up and is exhausted by the eternal stress and strain.  (Wilhelm)

Dear Uncle Janko ...hi..
I don't catch you on what you mean ... anyway this is a very good proverb .. or words of wisdom ... !!
Duren..

Receiving this hexagram often indicates that an influence is about to take place in which we will be challenged to hold to the correct way of influencing others. We are counselled to monitor our inner feelings and maintain our inner independence, and not react to any elements that would stimulate desire, fear, anger, or a relaxation of inner discipline. (Carol Anthony)

Dear Uncle Janko hi...

Yes .. you are right .. indeed .. I will follow this wise explanation taken from Hexagrams ...
".. We are counselled to monitor our inner feelings and maintain our inner independence, and not react to any elements that would stimulate desire, fear, anger, or a relaxation of innerdiscipline."
Best regards

I think you must to see the K line because is the moving line. K is the K means don't worry be happy. The k line is strong by the many B lines in the hexagram. When B  is very strong may be help the p line. P line is your uncle. the uncle to be safe and k line kill to R line ( worries). I yhink when you have the y or m dates, month, etc. Your uncle will be better
